In this episode of The Antidote, Amy and Grace connect with internationally acclaimed author, public speaker, and comedian, ALOK, about spontaneity as self-care, getting through writer’s block, and a love for fashion.
Amy and Grace share their bummer news of the week: The battle over student loan forgiveness, and cheese-scented manicures (does anyone really need that?)
Amy and Grace also share their antidotes for the week, which include getting pedicures, and having champagne for no reason.
This week’s Creative Tap-In:
“Creativity comes from a conflict of ideas.” - Donatella Versace

Amy The world is a dumpster fire. I'm Amy.
Grace And I'm Grace.
Amy And we want to help. And fair warning. Our help comes with some strong language attached. Super strong. So, you know, hide your kids because we about to say some things.
Grace As a reflex to the f---ing madness on the news for keeping it positive, uplifting, but opinionated.
Amy We talk about cultural moments we love.
Grace Talk to people we adore.
Amy Crushes we have.
Grace And self-care we stand.
Amy During these trying times we all need to show that focuses on joy.
Grace This is The Antidote. Hi, everyone. Welcome to another week.
Amy Hi. Every time I think about "This is The Antidote." I like, want to like high five you or start doing, like, little kid, like patty cake. That's why- I don't know, guys, we're on like a zoom together, but every time after Grace says "this is the antidote," I start, like, high fiving my hands like a little kid. That's what's happening.
Grace High fiving a thousand angels. Yeah. It's. I mean, I guess every week in 2022, we' re going to be like, it's been a week. So it's like, this is not a new thing. But, you know, on those days when I feel a little bummed out, my often antidote is little Kaavia James. Oh, my goodness.
Amy Oh, my God. Uh, Queen Kaav.
Grace She's so cute and smart and, you know, has a little personality, her own little attitude. I started to say sassy, but I was just like, Ooh, that word is weaponized against us. No, let's-
Amy No, sassy, sassy's canceled.
Grace Yeah. She's just a beautiful little girl living her best life with her very rich parents, having all types of experiences around the world.
Amy And also I'm just saying that Kaavia gave the tour of their new house.
Grace Ha ha ha. Oh, my God. Well, I have to watch that.
