How To Be A Person with Ashley C Ford, Mary HK Choi, and Adam JK

I discovered Ashley C Ford a few years ago on Lena Dunham's podcast Women of the Hour. After listening to her very soothing voice for the hour and connecting with what she spoke,  I started following her on Twitter (highly recommend) and reading every essay she's ever written. She's one of the most honest and talented writers I've ever read and I admire her deeply....which you'll hear me gush about throughout this episode. If you have gotten any of my recent emails or if your in the podcast facebook group it's likely you have seen me sharing Ashley Ford's writings. Specifically this last essay she did which I've shared a bunch. Ashley is a brilliant, and incredibly authentic--the type of person I could spend all day talking with. She has been one of my mentors from afar and I'm super excited to continue to learn from her and hopefully take classes from her eventually. In today's conversation we explore topics like "feeling enough", relationships, contentment, of course writing, moving to New York from the Midwest, body image, and the importance of communication. I loved this episode and I love this person.-Ashley's Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Tumblr-Her essays we mention:: Seeing My Body with Fresh Eyes, Swimming for the First Time in the Ocean, What Burns in the Pit-Book she's liked recently:: There are More Beautiful Things Than Beyonce-Movie she recently liked: Rogue One  (hint: you don't have to see the past Starwars movies before seeing this one)-Music she is enjoying:: Chance the Rapper's album Coloring Book -Podcasts she is listening to:: Dear Hank and John, Reply All, Startup, Another Round, For Colored Nerds, No Sleep-Headspace app for meditation-And if you are in New York try the brussels sprouts at Little Park Cool Things to Check-Out:-Gabby Bernstien's Spirit Junkie Master Class -Kim Anami is doing another Vaginal Kung Fu course over the summer!

175 | Ashley C Ford on Communication, Contentment, Love, Relationships, and Writing

Ashley C Ford  is one of my favourite people to follow on Twitter. You might recognise her voice from a very popular episode discussing Friendship on Lena Dunham's podcast 'Women Of The Hour'. She left her job at Buzzfeed a year ago to work on multiple different projects. She’s writer, editor, speaker, and professor at The New School in New York. She is currently writing a memoir (among other things), and co-editing the anthology Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture with the author of Bad Feminist Roxane Gay. She writes essays in many places from ELLE to The Guardian to BuzzFeed, and is someone with brilliant opinions, never afraid to share her truth in many different forms — she’s a really inspiring person who constantly emits positive energy online. I hope you love listening to her as much as I do. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
