It’s 13 Thoughts after turning 31 Years Old. A popular style of post from my Instagram and a longer form email I shared with my list over the years, I decided to turn it into a podcast last year with 30 Thoughts for episode 156.

This time round, I’ve flipped the numbers to 13 but I want to really explain each of the 13 thoughts.

You can expect to hear about optimisation versus perfection, becoming more interesting, time management, and even discomfort and change.

Meg is a clinical psychologist and author of the Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter and How to Make the Most of Them Now as well as a number of other books focusing on navigating and thriving during your youth.

A recent New York Times profile called Dr. Jay “the patron saint of striving youth” and her TED talk “Why 30 Is Not the New 20” is among the most watched to date. Dr. Jay earned a doctorate in clinical psychology, and in gender studies, from the University of California, Berkeley. She is on faculty at the University of Virginia and maintains a private practice in Charlottesville.

You will also hear about the importance of building identity capital, what role weak ties can play in shaping your life, how to be more introspective and know what you truly want.

Meg brings so much wisdom to the conversation and you’re going to hear in my voice just how much I enjoyed hosting this episode.

Today’s conversation is with Steven Arena, better known as Really Tan Man.

Expect to learn what drove Steven to explore the food system and his mission to share some challenging information about the modern food system. I ask about Steven’s experience with exploring alternative options, diets and sources and his battle to raise awareness about the issues that our modern food system is having on people’s health.

I first became aware of the issues caused by seed oils when I looked into a common oil - soybean oil and its link to inflammatory bowel disease and leaky gut. There is a lot we can do individually about our food, where it comes from, and how it is made.

One of my favourite parts of this conversation I know you will resonate with is how Steven has been able to build a business and leave a highly paid job to pursue something he cares deeply about and how he identified a potential business and product he could scale in this space.

We got incredible feedback on our episode with Dr James McIlroy on the gut and microbiome, and I intend on doing more episodes which have even more specific diet and food recommendations and actions you can take to improve your gut health in the near future.
