Ep. 40: The Life of an NYC Showgirl with Broadway’s MiMi Scardulla

What does the life of a real deal New York City showgirl actually look like? This week, Alex sits down with Broadway actress/singer/dancer MiMi Scardulla, who lets us in on her journey from growing up dancing in Louisiana to lighting up Broadway as a Kit Kat Girl in Cabaret. MiMi gives a true behind-the-scenes peek at the Broadway audition process and how she embraces her own body and individuality in an industry that loves to put people in boxes, plus she shares the story of falling in love with her wife and how she’s building a full, joyful life in NYC - onstage, offstage, and in-between.

This week, Alex sits down with the incredible Danika Severino Wynn, a certified nurse midwife and the VP of Care & Access at Planned Parenthood, to pull back the curtain on everything this organization really does for women’s health. Alex and Danika cover the wide range of care Planned Parenthood provides far beyond abortion, from birth control to life-saving cancer screenings, and how they show up for patients regardless of their insurance status. Danika also breaks down the biggest myths around medication abortion, explains why abortion is healthcare and deeply connected to so many aspects of hormonal and reproductive wellness, and shares how Planned Parenthood is working to keep care accessible in an increasingly challenging landscape. It’s an eye-opening, empowering conversation with someone who’s truly shaping the future of sexual and reproductive health!Connect with Planned Parenthood: @plannedparenthoodFollow "Glow Up And Speak Out" on IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@glowupandspeakout⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop Alex’s faves in beauty and wellness on ⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMy⁠⁠⁠⁠.Subscribe to our newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Links and Discounts!Prolon: Tap the link below for 15% off your 5-day nutrition kit to get ALL of the benefits of fasting (including cell autophagy) - while still eating!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://partners.prolonlife.com/ALEXANDRAFERRARA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Plant People: For 15% off any doctor-formulated supplement, enter code: GLOWUP at checkout.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.plantpeople.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fatty15: Click the link below for 20% off your Fatty15 Starter Kit 90-Day Supply of supplements for healthy aging.⁠⁠⁠⁠FATTY15 + GLOWUP⁠⁠⁠⁠K.

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Zepbound are making headlines, but what do you really need to know before starting them? In this episode, Alex sits down with certified obesity and family medicine specialist Sara Wootten to unpack the latest science behind GLP-1s and what it really takes to use these medications safely and effectively. She breaks down the differences between semaglutide and tirzepatide, the biomarkers that matter most, the lifestyle commitments necessary for long-term success, and how to preserve muscle mass and avoid nutrient deficiencies along the way!Sara was one of the first nurse practitioners in the U.S. to receive certifications in obesity medicine for primary care providers. As co-founder and senior provider at Mercy Clinic Weight and Wellness and Vice President of the Saint Louis Obesity Society, she brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion for empowering her patients.
