Pull It Together

Hosted by the charmingly neurotic Alex Matteo – Pull It Together is a Podcast for women redefining what it means to be a creative on their own terms. Through honest conversations, diverse community and inspiring interviews we are breaking the mold and debunking myths of being a creative. So grab some coffee (or wine) and whatever feels like it’s falling apart…we’ll pull it together.
Today we chat with James Beard Award-nominated writer, Julia Bainbridge. Julia was formerly an editor at Bon Appétit, Yahoo, and Atlanta magazine, she has also worked at Condé Nast Traveler and Food & Wine. Her new book Good Drinks, about nonalcoholic cocktails, was released this fall, and it could not come to us at a more perfect time.
After building a career around why and how people gather, Bainbridge pivoted into why people don’t, launching The Lonely Hour podcast to explore social disconnection and other forms of loneliness.
This conversation felt serendipitous in so many ways. After decades as freelance artists (her as a journalist, me as an actor) we sat down during a time of transition for us both. We talk about the importance of diversifying the portfolio of life and finding identity through the taboo.
