The Girl Gang invited the Redefining Health & Wellness audience to submit questions for us to answer in this episode, and our listeners did not disappoint. If you’ve been curious about how the three of us are surviving the pandemic, how Ally gets by with hella long acrylics, or what movies turned us on when we were kids, this episode was made for you. And if, like most people, you’ve never spent a single second wondering about any of those topics, you’ll still probably get a kick out of our conversation.
We discussed:
- How we’re holding up in the midst of the pandemic (which devolved into a discussion about eyebrows).
- The sadness of being grounded aerialists right now and what we’ve been doing for movement instead.
- Tools we’re using to keep our mental health in check while the world is on fire.
- The best culture we’ve each consumed during quarantine thus far.
- Ally’s best tips for functioning with super long acrylic nails.
- Our snack preferences.
- Adult friendships and all of their complexities, as well as how to make friends as an adult.
- Interesting Wikipedia pages we’ve found ourselves on.
- Movies (or in Shohreh’s case, a music video) that turned us on when we were young.

Featured on this Episode:
The Girl Gang is made up of Shohreh Davoodi, host of the Redefining Health & Wellness podcast, as well as two of her closest friends, Tiffany Cunningham and Ally Ridnour.
Tiffany (she/her) is a graphic designer, aerial enthusiast, fanfic author, cat mom, gay fairy gothmother, and bisexual human disaster. An actual Austin, Texas native, she’s been keeping her hometown weird long before it was cool. She is proud to be friends with Shohreh, and their friendship has grown through their shared passions for aerials and pop punk, mental health struggles, and experiences as queer women thumbing their noses at the patriarchy. You can find Tiffany on Instagram.
Shohreh (she/her) is a certified intuitive eating counselor, certified personal trainer, and a rainbow glitter bomb of a human. Through her online coaching and consulting work, Shohreh helps people give diet culture the finger so they can focus more on the people, projects, and passions that light them up. In her free time, she enjoys exploring the great outdoors, singing emo music at the top of her lungs, playing with her two pups, crafting, trapezing, gardening, and baking. You can find Shohreh on Instagram.
Ally (she/her) is an aerialist, a horror movie enthusiast, and a proud member of the Girl Gang. She has been described as “actually a trench coat filled with snakes and chaos” as well as “literally a demon,” and she feels those are pretty accurate descriptions. When she’s not busy filling every space she encounters with chaotic energy, she can probably be found laughing about farts or giving long-winded speeches about her weird taste in music to unappreciative audiences. She has a lot of opinions. You can find Ally on Instagram.
