  2. She said YES… to being a guest on @lifeisshortpodcast! And to other slightly more life-changing questions ;) My favorite person is now also my favorite guest on my favorite podcast! One day the incredibly talented @katebosworth will be on this podcast and talk about her years of memorable acting performances but on THIS episode we mostly talk about… the events that lead up to her agreeing to spend her life with this very VERY lucky podcast host. It felt like a leap to talk about something so personal so publicly but I’ve found that the scary things become much easier when you commit to the truth… and to a partner as loving and safe as Catherine Ann Bosworth. We named this podcast “Life is Short” because it’s a dumb pun (I love dumb puns) but also because I liked saying it out loud and hearing the reminder to live each day as fully as possible. I feel eternally grateful that I found a partner who makes each day SO full, whose mere presence IS a reminder of the beauty and brevity of life, and who makes me laugh from the minute we wake up til the one I begrudgingly fall asleep. I cherish the days we’ve had and the ones to come 💛💍 Listen to “Life is Short” wherever you listen to podcasts. Or click the link in m’ story. OR go to @lifeisshortpodcast. Thank you for listening and to all the regular listeners for being so sweet and supportive today 🙏

  2. little gems w new potatoes + tuna 🥬 full recipe on my substack - link in bio! i like potatoes and a bit of canned tuna for oomph—a little protein and carbs go a long way. i made this after a long run and it was everything I could’ve wanted. i weirdly don’t get that hungry after runs, but this is kind of the perfect middle ground: still light, but with enough substance to be satisfying and nutritious.

  3. miso brown butter + corn pasta 🌽 full recipe on my substack - link in bio! i come back to this recipe every summer when corn is at its best. it warms the soul and gives corn a chance to really shine. it’s sweet, saucy, and full of umami. don’t forget the basil and a squeeze of lemon - it ties it all together. don’t overcook your corn! it only needs a few seconds of heat to bring out the sweetness #cornpasta #brownbutter #summerpasta #miso #misopasta #pasta #butter
