Summary
TW: self-ham, eating disorders
Before we start, let’s all take one big deep breath… This week your hosts welcome yoga teacher and author Ally Maz to talk about Girlvana, a community she founded that supports female-identifying Gen Z's physical, mental, and emotional health through yoga and mentorship. Yoga is a way to come back to yourself, and D, Jackie, and Ally all open up about the trauma that led them to yoga, and ultimately, back to themselves. Ally shares all about her work with Girlvana and her incredible book with the same name. She emphasizes that yoga is not about looking a certain way, with a certain yoga mat, and an expensive outfit, but rather living in truth and finding your breath, which is the gateway to your body. She teases what we can expect from her next, and talks about teaching on the Open app; a mindfulness studio for everyone.

| 0:17.2 | Okay, so guess what I did for like, I'm not exaggerating. It took me three hours the other day to figure out. Oh, God, what did you do? So since I'm in Italy, I don't have access to like the good episodes of things on Netflix and Hulu, including The Bachelor. So I had to figure out a way to get |
| 0:42.1 | like a VPN. Okay. So I can like stream my computer from like a unknown location just so I |
| 0:49.9 | in the US. Yeah, in the US. So currently my locations as I'm in New York, New York, literally so I could watch Bachelor. And then the time I figured it out, I was so tired. I felt asleep after five minutes. It was like two in the morning and I didn't even watch it. Have you been watching this season? I know you're like too cool for school now since you were like on the bachelor how many years ago oh my god |
| 1:12.6 | so many years ago i i'll admit i tried watching the first episode and the fact that you said you |
| 1:18.8 | fell asleep well the second episode i didn't watch the first one um the fact that you said you fell asleep |
| 1:23.7 | i'm not surprised do not like this season i actually? I actually, I actually, the next day I did |
| 1:30.6 | watch the rest of the episode and I actually was impressed. I actually liked it. I liked it. Yeah. |
| 1:37.0 | I mean, I don't love that there's two of them. I think it's kind of bullshit, to be honest. I don't think |
| 1:43.4 | that they would ever make two men do |
| 1:45.6 | that together, but I want more Gabby as a nurse. I completely agree with that. I, I feel like they |
| 1:53.7 | totally brush over that, that she's an ICU nurse. Like, they like to portray her funny personality |
| 2:00.6 | and that she's really down to earth and like a cool guy's girl. |
| 2:04.6 | But they're not playing up the fact that she is a fucking smart ass woman who saves people's lives. |
| 2:12.0 | Yeah, why don't they talk about that though? |
| 2:14.6 | I don't know. |
| 2:16.0 | Because I think it'd be great TV. |
| 2:17.4 | Obviously, Rachel's thing is that she's a pilot. |
| 2:19.4 | Why can't Gabby's thing be that she's like a badass nurse? Considering we just had a pandemic. |
| 2:25.2 | We're still in a pandemic. There's COVID cases and all the things. |
| 2:29.5 | I feel like they never talk about that though. I thought that's like weird, don't you think? |
| 2:33.7 | I do think it's weird. |
