Hello everyone. Welcome back to Tea with Publicity. Another glorious week. We have an exciting episode for you. So if you're new here, my name is Alyssa Amoroso. I am joined by my producer Emily. What's going on? Hello, how are you guys? Welcome back new week. Let me just give you guys a little rundown of what we're going to discuss today because I'm really excited. I feel like we haven't done an episode about

this kind of topic in a really long time. I try to do a little bit of everything but like we are in need of a discussion like today. So first what we're going to do is I'm going to catch you guys up on my life, what I've been up to, then we will get into an interview with Sammy from Find Food Freedom. She's really freaking cool. Right before the interview, I'll read you guys a little bio about her. But basically she is going to talk to us about

diet culture and intuitive eating. And I have so many questions for her. So I'm really excited to get them all out there and have you guys hear them. And then she will also be joining me for the

Ask Alyssa segment where we give some advice. And then as always, we will spill the tea except unfortunately today it's going to be sad tea because I do want to talk about the entire Gabby Petito situation. There's not really much happening in pop culture. But that is something that is all over the news and something I just kind of want to dig into.

So on a lighter note, how was your weekend? What did you get into?

I had a wild Friday night. I just, you know what, I drank too much. So like a lot of my friends are just, you know, they've been out of town

recently. So I kind of just like went out with my guy friends on Friday night. And I was a little worried about doing this because I don't do this a lot.

But I just felt like, I don't want to be like following them around and like, what if they're trying to get with girls. And I just felt like it was going to be weird. But it ended up being a great time. And then I ended up running into some people other people that I knew. So it just like worked out very well.

But yeah, I did drink too much and then slept all day Saturday. So I do. I used to love going out with my guy friends that were older because they took care of me. Like I was their younger sister. Right.

They would like pay for all my drinks. Get us right. I'm like, oh my god. This is great. That's like the one thing. Like, yeah, you don't have to pay for any drinks and anything. And yeah, one of my guy friends is like, don't even worry. Like, I'll babysit you. Like I got you. And it just, he did not end up babysitting me because, you know, I, like, I just clearly wasn't. I was on well. And I went around. Yeah, exactly.

That's all funny. I actually drink quite a bit this week. I'm one of the days. And then me, my friends. So my friend Chelsea, her, it was her 30th birthday. And she like loves to not sit still. She's one of those people who like, she's like, we need an activity. We need to do something. So I saw this thing on TikTok for this place called collective retreats on governor's island. And it basically was like, it looks like a campground. And you go and they have lunch and you could do a full.

There's a wellness retreat there. You could sleep there. They have yoga. They have like tours, whatever. So I'm like, let me make a lunch reservation there. And let's go to governor's islands. Because again, she likes to do stuff. So I'm like, we could take the ferry. We'll go to governor's island. I've no idea what's over there. We'll walk around.

And I kept saying to my friends, I'm like, this might be the fire festival situation. Like, either we're going to go and it's going to be a luxury event. Or we're going to go and it's going to be fire festival. And this like quote unquote luxury retreat is just going to be like, tense on the lawn.

Well, were there pictures of it? There were, but like for something that looks so cute online, there's no social media hype about it.

Well, I always go on to Instagram. And then I like look at the tagged location for it. And then I see other people's pictures. There's like five like that's that's a little.

But the ones that are there look beautiful. And then this like this place collective retreats. I guess does things like this in other cities. Like there's one in Denver. And those look beautiful. So again, we're like, we'll just see. I don't know. Like if it's really as cute as this, like why isn't there more social media hype about this.

So we take the ferry over to Governor's Island and like immediately upon like entering, we were like, this is cute. Like it was very.

I also watched Hamilton the night before. So I think I was in my head like in DC or just like old times because I'm because I watched this like Renaissance play.

But I was like, I feel like I'm not in New York. I feel like I'm in Washington DC. But it was so it's like, there's a lot of trees in nature. And it's an island. So you could like walk or bike around the perimeter.
