It’s time to tell the story of how I ended up sharing a private moment – and a drink – with one of the biggest rap moguls in music history one night in the early 2000s. He is now in federal custody after being arrested and charged for multiple crimes including sex trafficking with two dozen other lawsuits filed against him accusing him of drugging, assulting and even raping people.

You don’t want to miss this. In the early days of my career as a celebrity reporter working for People magazine, I was paid to party in New York City, and this is only one of dozens of tales from the vault.

Being sick sucks. Being really sick – I’m talking “hospital” sick, “can’t-figure-out-what’s-wrong-and-you-have-to-see-a-million-specialists” sick really sucks. It’s an emotional roller coaster whether you are the patient or someone you love is. It can be traumatic – I know it was for me when I went through 4+ years of pregnancy loss, miscarriage, and failed IVF – and navigating the healthcare system (and being made to feel like a number instead of a human being) was its own secondary trauma for me and so many others.

But my dear friend, Dr. Tracy Shevell, M.D., is changing that for people – with a focus on women – and helping them navigate the most complex health mysteries while at the same time empowering them throughout their journeys. She joined me in Podpopuli’s Greenwich CT studio on the most recent episode of That Greenwich Life, and shared an action plan for when -- not if – a health crisis strikes. Follow her on Instagram @tracyshevellmd where she hosts regular “office hours” or find out more about her personalized offerings at her website: www.tracyshevellmd.com

She shepherded me through a very confusing medical crisis – a riddle, really with no answer - and for all her clients, she is part therapist, part doctor, all friend. I’m forever grateful to her, and so glad now she is helping so many others.

If you want to live your life as your authentic self – not the person you want others to see – but as you, the real you, then we all know we have work to do and tools to find that can help with that.

One of those tools is Human Design. Never heard of it? Yea, me neither, but I learned a lot this week from my in-studio guest, Brianne Cuttler of Be Aligned, an intuitive life and success coach and expert in Human Design. Before we sat down together, I sent her my date of birth (9/1/1981), my time of birth (7:21 pm) and place of birth (Philadelphia, PA) and she did a custom reading (I know – it sounds like astrology but it’s not), providing info that helps me understand my soul’s energy better so I can more effectively navigate all the energies around me (Brianne – did I get that right?).

It's fascinating, it’s fun and it’s FACTUAL. So much of what she told me, just HIT.

You can find out more (and contact her for your own private session) at her Instagram @Be.Aligned.BC and check out her latest offering with one of my favorite people in the world (and a past That Greenwich Life guest – episode 6 - go check her out), Julie Vincent of Clear Space For Joy. Together, starting Nov 7, they are launching The Joyful Alignment Mentorship, a supportive community for sacred discussions and self-discovery through Human Design, mindfulness, and embodied practices.
