I’ve shared a lot about the places I love in NYC but I haven’t shared much about other places around the country I like. I was just in Columbus, Ohio. I go at least a couple times a year and wanted to share some of my favorite places that Simi has taken me to. If you live in Columbus - you should go check these places out. If not - definitely go visit! It’s a beautiful place with lovely people. 

- Alchemy Juice Cafe (pictured above) makes the best açaí bowls, toast, gluten free donuts, so good.

- Native Cold Press Juices - so good and in a cute glass bottle.

- I loved Fox in the Snow coffee shop.

- Commune - a lovely light filled vegetarian restaurant. kinda reminds me of ABCV in New York. We had this amazing broccoli with cashew lemon situation that was my favorite.  

I’ll be back in Columbus for the podcasting festival Empowered Voices later this fall. Come see us! Tickets available here. I'd love to do a meet up then 😇

I have a journaling prompt for you this week. This is something that I made up and did the other day on a plane on my way to Columbus. I was feeling really down, honestly. I was just really depressed and I did this exercise for myself because I felt like I had so much against me. I felt like just really low. I wrote down all the things that are against me and I really let it out onto the page and I felt a little lighter. On the other side of the paper I wrote out what's FOR me. All my privilege, what I do have going for me. By the time I got done with this list I felt like the first list was a lot less important. It put me into this place of awareness and power and I wanted to share it with you guys. So give it a try. Write it out - What’s against me? and What’s for me?
