Hey There,

This week on the podcast, I’m chatting with Modern Mahjong founders Dara Collins and Donna Kassman about how they built their brand and community, the differences between Hong Kong style and American style mahjong, and why everyone from Julia Roberts to Meghan Markle is obsessed. We also get into the game’s benefits for brain health and social connection, plus their Alzheimer’s Association fundraising work. Give it a listen!

And while you’re at it, head over to my YouTube channel for more episodes plus my series It’s Not Complicated, where you’ll find the full recipes right in the caption.

I sit down with my longtime friend Nicole Berrie, the wellness guru behind @bonberi and founder of the wellness market Bonberi Mart in the West Village. Nicole talks about her pioneering approach to nutrition using the method of food combining and how it’s transformed the way she eats and feels. She shares how fruits and veggies can boost energy, how she balances indulgence without ever needing a “cheat day” and her favorite recipes, including a crowd-pleasing vegan queso and the ultimate smoothie. This is an inspiring and practical conversation on fueling your body while still enjoying every bite.
