Welcome back to Hot Takes and Deep Dives. This is Jess and I'm excited to chat with

Patty Stanger today. She spent eight years on Bravo as the star of the Millionaire Matchmaker.

You've written tons of books. You've had a lot of success.

And you really still do a very strong voice in the pop culture landscape. So hey Patty.

Hi how are you doing? I'm good. You know I guess first off I want to check in with

you just generally speaking how are you how are you managing your emotions, staying healthy in your mind and body during the pandemic, now these acts of violence?

How are you doing?

Well, basically I meditate every day when I can the second one is

always the hardest one to get in it's 20 minutes a day and it's ever since

I started this about five years ago it's been my

salvation so it's usually when I get crazy and I feel the anxiety in the air which we

all do but I'm super highly tuned into frequency so I feel like right now with

what's going on I feel a lot of anxiety I turn to meditation it is the only thing

next to a hot bath that comes me down. Some people like a glass of wine. I don't really recommend alcohol because of immunity issues, you know, increases in inflammation.

So I do supplements, Ashawang is really good.

There's a lot of herbs on the market,

hammeal, lavender, a lavender spray on my pillow,

works really well at night. so I have like my little go-to

things. How have you been handling social distancing and the quarantine over these

last few months?

Well, first of all, we shut our business down.

I was incredibly worried about people getting Corona
