“Ali, please introduce yourself.”

"My name is Ali Tate Cutler. I’ve been a model for 9 years, a soccer player before that. I’m from Silicon Valley, California, currently living in NYC. I have a podcast called The Love You Give which is a self-help/wellness based podcast. I am a certified yoga instructor and I am currently writing my first book. I am currently a health coach in training. I love animals, plants, and nature. I am a Cancer with a Cancer rising- I feel all the feelings."

“Tell us about the work you do and what your day to day looks like.”

"I work as a model for my main job. I have been modeling for a while, so I guess it’s pretty normal for me now. But I am aware it’s a crazy job title to have. When I’m not going to castings or shooting, I am recording a podcast or writing my book. I study my health courses three days a week. 2020 has been crazy for all of us, so our day-to-days have shifted astronomically. This last year, I’m making do with the smaller things: the wind blowing in the trees, my husband making me laugh, a call with my community. I enjoy fantasy books so if I’m in a mood, I’ll curl up with one and light a candle. I think that I’ve been doing everything I can to get through this year- we all have been. My day-to-day is disjointed right now, and that’s okay."

“You have a podcast channel, ‘The Love You Give – with Ali Tate Cutler’. What inspired you to create on this medium?”

"I decided to start my podcast when I was on a sacred plants retreat in upstate New York and our teacher asked us to meditate with a plant. I meditated with a flower. Suddenly, the idea of a podcast popped into my head. I have always been interested in wellness and spirituality and my family has raised me to be pretty open that way- so I thought the podcast was the perfect way to talk about these things and hopefully help others with their mental health as wellness has helped me. I love podcasts and they truly have changed my life, so I hope mine can change someone else’s. I have almost 60 episodes and every guest has been so beautiful. It’s truly a high point in my life to have created this podcast."
