Episode drop today! It was such a treat to record with @shawnmodel for The Model Health Show in Los Angeles earlier this month, where we dove into the longevity science from a mental health, behavioral and mindset perspective—and how a deep sense of purpose is tied to both lifespan and health span. (Purpose is the first Pillar of Practical Optimism). We explored all the ways we misunderstand finding our purpose and how to address it head on. I share tons of scientific studies but also super practical ways you can extend your life and improve its quality. Swipe to check out the episode details and what you can expect to learn (I always like to know if it’s worth the juice for the squeeze!). I also had the pleasure of meeting the lovely @annemodel_s. We started chatting about adult friendships before we even began recording, and honestly, that could’ve been a whole episode on its own! I really admire the deep bond, mutual respect, and admiration they share. One key takeaway? Maintain your friendships at all costs—and sometimes, that means sending your besties voice memos! Adult friendships take intention, especially when you’re across the country from each other. I told Anne she could expect to get some memos from me!
