07: Did We Just Become Best Friends? with Abby Rasminsky

Have you ever read something and felt so seen that your brain exploded? LIke you needed to send that person a DM immediately after reading a whole bunch of their work because you know you are destined to be friends? And then it turns out you have been living parallel lives for YEARS and it feels weird you haven’t met yet? Yea, me too. That’s why I messaged Abigail Rasminsky. She is a writer, teacher, editor, former professional dancer, and my new bff. She talks about everything too! She works as a Lecturer in the Program in Narrative Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. She also teaches creative writing to medical students in the HEAL (Humanities, Ethics/Economics, Arts and Law) Program at Keck, and writing workshops from her home. You can find her writing in the New York Times, The Cut, the Washington Post, Food52, Cup of Jo, Epicurious, Longreads, Dance Magazine, O: The Oprah Magazine, and more. She also writes a weekly newsletter called People + Bodies which you can subscribe to in the show notes. I highly recommend it. A native of Montreal, she lived in Brooklyn for 12 years before moving to Vienna, Austria. After four years as an expat, she now lives in Los Angeles with my husband and daughter.
