That's So Maven by The Healthy Maven

It's the final episode... Notes from this episode: Weekly THM newsletter: http://bit.ly/2lA3aPl My incredible podcast editor, Eilise Bonebright: heyeilise@gmail.com 5 seasons, 130 episodes and so many incredible nuggets of wisdom gained in between but it's officially time to end That's So Maven. As sad as I am to share this, I also know that the time is right. It's been an amazing journey but all good things must come to an end and for the podcast, the time is now. So in today's episode I'm getting honest about why I've made this decision (there are many reasons) as well as sharing about some big decisions in 2019 and how they will affect this next decade. No new humans to interview, topics to jump into or new wellness trends to explore. Just me and the mic and my honest truth. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for tuning in. It's been a wild ride and I'm excited to see what's to come in the future. Onwards and upwards! Please don't forget to rate + review in iTunes if you love the podcast.

This is particularly true for women who are often judged for having any ounce of hair on their bodies. What about for men? Why are they revered for their body hair and judged for removing it? Today on the show I'm chatting with Breanne Fahs a professor of women and gender studies at Arizona State University and expert on body hair all about it. So if you've wondered what the deal is with body hair, is it healthy (spoiler alert: YES!) and why we feel so inclined to remove it, this episode is for you. On today's episode we also discuss: Dr. Fahs' background and her interest in women + gender studies Why body hair is so polarizing for people The history of body hair + why women feel the need to remove it Is body hair clean? The stigma around body hair Her best tips for being confident with body hair Her takeaways from challenging her students to grow out their body hair ...and so much more!

We've chatting about astrology many times here on the show but never have we delved into the birth chart and looked at it from an applied perspective. That's why I'm thrilled to welcome Debra Silverman, a psychotherapist, astrology and writer to the show today. She takes a clinical approach to astrology where it's not just predictive horoscopes but how to get to know your inner self better and live life to your highest potential. She helps you get to know you as it is written in the stars. But we also discuss the importance of fate vs. free will and how to find what your true calling and purpose is in life.   Today's episode is a bit different. Rather than just explaining how a birth chart works, Debra is breaking it down for all of you by jumping into my birth chart and sharing some of my inner workings. I hope you enjoy!   On today's episode we also discuss: Debra's background and how she combines psychotherapy with astrology Her approach to astrology and how its different from others What is a birth chart + how are you born with one? Your sun, moon and rising signs The 4 elements and what they tell you about yourself The missing element and what it can teach you Saturn returns and what you need to know about it South and north nodes and how you can use them to live life to the fullest ...and so much more!

It's part of the reason you have been seeing more posts about sustainability on THM and in my personal life I've found myself gravitating towards resources that are discussing it. One of the most relatable and empowering of these resources is The Good Trade, a website founded by AmyAnn Cadwell, a leading voice in the sustainability movement, an entrepreneur and social impact angel investor. She wears many hats, but educating the world on how to make more sustainable choices is the primary of them. The Healthy Maven and That's So Maven has always been a place where we discuss health and wellness and how to take better care of yourself, but you cannot take care of yourself while ignoring the health of the planet. They are one and the same and need equal attention and respect. So today we are chatting about this parallel between sustainability and wellness and how to make everyday choices for sustainability and curb our fast fashion addiction.   On today's episode we also discuss: AmyAnn's background and getting a degree in social entrepreneurship Why she launched The Good Trade in 2014 and what inspired her decision "The True Cost" and how fast fashion became so popular How to shop more sustainably and her favorite sustainable clothing brands How to prioritize decision making when it comes to sustainability Everyday changes we can all implement to live more sustainably Making sustainability conversations accessible and less scary ...and so much more!

I know what you're thinking here...but hang with me! This episode is a juicy one. Over the last several years medicinal mushrooms (mushrooms that have benefits for our bodies...not of the magic variety!) have had a huge resurgence. But these incredible fungi are not new and in fact, are likely older than us. So what's the deal with them and are they really that great? Simple answer: Yes. But for the longer answer tune into today's episode with Jeff Chilton, president of Nammex, author of The Mushroom Cultivator and mushroom grower and researcher for over 40 years is on the show today sharing all of his mushroom wisdom. This was honestly one of the most interesting conversations I've had this year on the show. Not only are we going deep into how mushrooms are grown, the benefits of different varietals (reishi, lion's mane, cordyceps etc...) but we're also discussing the importance of sourcing and what's really in some of the more popular mushroom products out there. On today's episode we're also discussing: Jeff's passion for mushrooms and what started his 40+ year career In the business How mushrooms are grown and the difference between mushrooms and mycelium The nutritional benefits of mushrooms and how to consume them  Does it matter where mushrooms are grown? What about organic? The different types of medicinal mushrooms and their benefits How to determine quality of your mushroom products Starting an organic mushroom farm in China ...and so much more!

Finally getting the chance to sit down and discuss her journey and experiences ended up being even better than I had imagined. Not surprisingly, we have a lot in common. Tiffany's journey has not been direct (is anybody's?!) and has evolved in a messy, beautiful and very public way. Nevertheless, the most important piece is that she showed up. period. One of my favorite discussions we have on the show is about exercise addiction and how to use exercise to support your wellness and not as a tool to manipulate and change your body. As someone who struggled with exercise addiction, this part really hit home with me. But there is so much more! On today's episode we also discuss: Tiffany's journey and how she started off of a fashion blogger How being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder changed the trajectory of her message From fitness trainer to body-positive activist Exercise addiction and how to find a healthy relationship with exercise The benefits of journaling and what "consistency" really means Why so many creative women struggle with body image Her best tips for confidence and what simple wellness means to her ...and so much more!

I discovered Blume through a mutual friend and fell in love with their concept and how they are changing the game when it comes to period products and self-care. Self-care goes beyond face masks and baths (though I do love me a bath...and face mask!). Self-care is also about accessibility to products for something that 50% of the population experiences...periods. From acne care, to menstrual cramp solutions and organic period products, Blume is here to solve these problems, and give back along the way. I'm so excited to be sharing this incredible company and their founders here on the show today.

This episode feels incredibly full circle for me. I remember following Gina Harney's blog all the way back in 2009 while a junior in college. In some ways this feels like the hay day of blogging. I would wake up, grab my coffee and check-in with my healthy living blogs each morning on my google blog reader. The Fitnessista was at the top of this list. 10 years later, Gina is on That's So Maven to chat all about her blogging journey and how the landscape has changed since she first started. Gina Harney is a personal trainer and group fitness professional. She runs online programs and blogs about her journey over on The Fitnessista. She's also a Mama to two awesome daughters and a wife to who many of us know as "The Pilot". The thing that I love most about Gina is her transparency. She has taught me so much simply by sharing her experiences. From getting her breast implants removed to sharing her postpartum recovery journey, it truly is an honor to have Gina share the mic with me today. On today's episode we also discuss: Gina's journey and why she started The Fitnessista How the landscape of blogging has changed as well as her perspective on health and wellness The future of blogging and how social media changed the game Diastasis Recti and her best tips for postpartum fitness and recovery Why she got breast implants and eventually why she got them removed Breast plant illness and how to know if you are being affected by it ...and so much more!

Weekly THM newsletter: http://bit.ly/2lA3aPl If I had a nickel for every fearful thought I experienced in a day I would RICH. In fact I'd probably be a billionaire. Fear...it's what our mind feeds on - or so we think. Though far more difficult, our minds can feed off love, but this means facing our fear and moving forward anyway. Today on the show I'm chatting with Koya Webb, a holistic health coach and yoga instructor all about facing your fears and how to turn obstacles into seeds of growth. Koya is an internationally recognized yoga teacher, personal trainer, holistic health and wellness coach, author, motivational speaker, and professional fitness model revolutionizing the holistic living landscape. She is known as a “transformational specialist” when it comes to helping people reach their goals—by encouraging sustainable positive lifestyle changes. She believes the most important element in health is Self-Love; from this belief came the creation of Get Loved Up. Get Loved Up encourages clients to practice daily self-care and make healthy living a priority in a fun and accessible way. Get Loved Up aims to lower the number of people with chronic diseases associated with an unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle. On today's episode we chat about: Koya's journey and what led her to teach yoga Radical self love and starting "Get Loved Up" Increasing diversity in the yoga space and starting her own teacher program Identifying fear and when the stories you tell yourself aren't true How to find the courage to tackle your fears even when they paralyze you What teaching yoga has taught her about life ...and so much more!

Check out the new Green Beauty Shop! I had been looking forward to chatting with Minna Lee aka Living Minnaly for several weeks after she scheduled her interview. I've always resonated with her message and have loved following along with her journey though it wasn't until we sat down and chatted that I learned how much we had in common. From growing up figure skating to struggling with an eating disorder and eventually to starting our blogs, meeting Minna was like meeting a long lost sister. To date, this felt like one of the most genuine conversations I've had here on the show. From fitness coach, to blogger, to photographer to downright awesome human, it's safe to say that Minna wears many hats so it was fun to have her on the show to share more about her journey and how she defines wellness. On today's episode we chat about: Minna's journey and her past as a competitive athlete How she transitioned to fitness coaching and how that's changed her perception of exercise Getting diagnosed with Hashimoto's and the changes she's made to support her body Body image and how she's learning to embrace what she has Mental health and social media - can the two coexist?

Check out the new Green Beauty Shop! CBD is all the rage these days, but did you know that there's more than just one type of cannabinoid? Ever heard of CBN or CBG? What about pairing CBD with herbal medicine? Where are you sourcing your CBD from? These are all important questions that we have yet to tackle here on the podcast. So today I invited Prismatic Plants founder, Sarah Polansky onto the show to share all of her CBD and herbalism wisdom with us today. After struggling with a parasite and prolonged antibiotic use, Sarah turned to alternative medicine to help restore her gut. In the process she discovered how many women are also struggling with similar and sometimes unknown issues that could benefit from plant-based medicine. But as Cannabis (and CBD specifically) gets more and more popular, it's important to discuss where it is coming from and the effects it is having on the body. So today we're diving deep and getting the down low on CBD. We're also chatting about: All about Sarah's health journey and how she found plant-based medicine Cannabinoids and how they affect your body The inspiration behind starting Prismatic Plants  Beyond CBD - different types of cannabinoids i.e. CBG, CBN etc.. CBD for energy and how to pair it with herbs The biggest myths about CBD and what's coming up next for cannabis ...and so much more!

It's important that we remember that a) health and wellness looks different on everyone and b) every body is deserving of health and wellness. That's why I am thrilled to have Ariel Lawrence on the show today sharing more about her experience with Type 1 Diabetes and the advocacy work she does with marginalized communities with diabetes. Today we are discussing Ariel's own journey with type 1 diabetes and why she uses her platform, Just a Little Suga' to raise awareness around diabetes.

This week's episode is jam-packed! Brain health is something I'm deeply passionate about both because of my past work in brain imaging research but also from my own struggles with mental health. I'm both fascinated by and mystified by the brain. For something that has so much power, there's little we know about it. But in today's episode we're demystifying the brain and talking about how you can actually change it with neuroscientist, Dr. Andrew Hill. Dr. Hill is the founder of Peak Brain Institute which uses neurofeedback to help its clients tackle everyday and chronic concerns. Dr. Hill holds a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCLA, and is a peak performance coach and EEG scientist with a practical emphasis of optimizing executive function and improving brain performance at any age though EEG biofeedback, or neurofeedback, and an advocate of understanding our brains through QEEG Brain Mapping. Here are some of the many topics we discuss in today's episode: Dr. Hill's journey and what made him decide to pursue a PhD in neuroscience Founding Peak Brain Institute and what neurofeedback means Different brain waves and how they change our physiological state Using neurofeedback to change chronic conditions and habits Meditation and how it can work in conjunction with neurofeedback Brain mapping and what your brain can really tell you. ...and so much more!

It's not a secret that I am deeply passionate about women's health, but what I've found in my many conversations on this topic is that women are rarely informed about what's happening in their body before they run into an issue. It's very much reactive medicine rather than preventative. Besides getting a pap smear, it is incredibly difficult for women to start a conversation about their reproductive health unless they're already dealing with an issue. This is why Modern Fertility was born. Today on the podcast I am chatting with Afton Vechery, one of the cofounders of Modern Fertility all about women's preventative health including getting your hormones tested, preparing for fertility (even if you don't want kids right now) and making the tools for these accessible to ALL.  On today's episode we also discuss: Her own hormone struggles and why she decided to start Modern Fertility The factors that affect female fertility and getting your hormones tested PCOS vs. POI and why it's important to know the difference The most common issues with fertility Freezing your eggs - should you do it?

Lex Daddio of Restoring Radiance is one of those people. Lex's journey hasn't been straight-forward or simple. After years of struggling with body image, food restriction and binge eating disorder, Lex has chronicled her path to recovery over on Restoring Radiance.

Podcast Episode #106: Kim Anami + All About the Female Orgasm One of the most overlooked conversations when it comes to holistic health is about the importance of sexual health. Women especially have generally downplayed the value of having a healthy sex life and seen it as a frivolous or unnecessary. But guess what, ladies? Your sexual health is as important as your mental and otherwise physical well-being. They're all connected! Today on the podcast I've invited female sacred sexuality coach, Tiffany Janay to join us to discuss the importance of a healthy sex life, how to tap into your masculine and feminine energies and how yoni eggs - yes we're talking crystals in your vagina!- can help support these. Today on the show we're discussing: Tiffany's journey and how she learned about sacred sexuality Masculine vs. feminine energies and how to cultivate both Why masculine energy became more valued + how to tap into your divine feminine Yoni eggs and what they support Can you lose a yoni egg inside of you?! What is sacred sexuality + why is it important for women? Male sexuality and why we need to redefine it ...and so much more!

I'm a true believer that it's our pain that becomes our power; that we are not defined by our triumphs but by our struggles and how we recover from them. Today's podcast guest is no exception. I'm thrilled and honored to have Dr. Adi Jaffe, founder of IGNTD on the show today sharing his journey with addiction and how he turned his pain into power. Dr. Jaffe's story begins with his own addictions and while it could have ended with 9 felony convictions, he didn't allow his story to end there. Dr. Jaffe went back to school to get his masters and ultimately his PhD to study addiction and redefine with recovery actually means. Today on the show he's sharing his story, his struggles with mental health and why he believes that abstinence is a myth.  Today on the show we're discussing: Dr. Jaffe's story and upbringing How he began dealing drugs and ultimately got caught The "addictive personality" and if it really exists Why he decided to go back to school and study addiction IGNTD and why he believes that abstinence is a myth Redefining what recovery actually looks like Shame and how it plays into addiction ...and so much more!

While the women's health series may be finished, the conversation still continues and today's episode is no exception. Navigating the healthcare system is difficult to begin with, but women have it especially tough with a system that has been built to tailor to conventionally male needs. Changes need to be made, and it starts with conversations like these. Adrienne Nolan-Smith has had her own series of health issues in her lifetime and has dedicated her work to helping others navigate their own health struggles as a certified patient advocate. Today on the show we're discussing her journey to take control of her body and get the resources she needed and how you can do the same.

The female orgasm...how much do you know about it? Today is the fifth installment and last episode of my women's health series so I thought we'd spice things up a bit and discuss how you can have the best big O of your life. And who better to talk on the subject than the orgasm queen herself, Kim Anami. Kim Anami is a holistic sex + relationship coach, writer and speaker. Her work is a spiritual synthesis of over two decades of Tantra, Taoism, Osho, Transpersonal psychology, philosophy and a host of quantum growth-accelerating practices she uses to propel clients into higher stratospheres of connection, intimacy, energy and creativity. She divides her time between Bali and Los Angeles and a host of beaches in between, where she not only lives and surfs, but lifts objects with her vagina (for real!). Today we'll be chatting all about how to make the most of your sex life and own your sexual power. We are also discussing: Kim's story and how she became a holistic sex + relationship coach What anami means and how she adopted the name The female orgasm: breaking it down - clitoris vs. g-spot stimulation Ways women can experience more intense orgasms Ways women stand in their own way with the female orgasm The difference between male and female orgasms The Salons including Kim's Latest: The Well F*cked Woman ...and so much more!

Mentioned in this episode: The Healthy Maven podcast page to easily search through the podcast archives 100 episodes! I'll be honest, when I set out to create That's So Maven I wasn't thinking beyond the first 10 episodes, let alone 100 but 100 intros + outros, 93 guests, 7 solo episodes and countless incredible discussions later, we've done it! That's so maven has officially entered triple digits. I've known for a while now what I wanted to discuss on episode 100. This past year has been nothing short of transformational. Yoga teacher training, getting married, creating Camp Wellness have all been monumental, but the mindset shift that's taken place has changed me deeply as a person. For lack of a better description, I've had a spiritual awakening and that's what I'll be discussing today. For a long time (more than I'd like to admit) I judged people who had experiences like these. The people who suddenly became so enlightened and wielded their crystals around like a gift from the universe. I am certainly not "enlightened" and while I live my crystals as one of the many tools I use to support my mental, emotional and spiritual health, I don't think they're the answer to everything. BUT I have woken up to a new perspective on seeing the world and truly for the first time in my life am letting go of the reigns and putting more trust in the possibility of the universe to deliver exactly what I want and need. Yes I just typed that. So like I said, I judged these types of people...hard. And now I am one of those people. So obviously something has shifted and on today's episode - episode 100 no less!- I'm chatting about my spiritual awakening and what's really been going on in my life this past year. From yoga, to journaling, to crystals + spirits, a lot has happened so come along as I share the ride.

Use code MAVEN20 at checkout to receive 20% of your order Join the Pinterest Bootcamp: http://bit.ly/pinterest-bootcamp What is breathwork? If I got a nickel for every time I answered this question I'd be rich! To be fair, it's usual my fault they're asking the question since more often than not I'm the person who brings it up. But it's true, ever since discovering breathwork a few years ago, I've been obsessed. That doesn't really answer the question "what is breathwork?" now does it? Good thing I have the perfect guest on the show today sharing her knowledge and wisdom of breathwork with you. Kay Ellis is a breathwork and yoga instructor, practicing buddhist and all around incredible human. We met last year and pretty much from the moment we met it was clear we were connected. I'm grateful to call her a guide and a friend. Some other things we discussed: How Kay discovered breathwork and began teaching it Her connection to Buddhism and her first introduction at 5 years old What is holotropic breathwork + how Kay's practices differ How to practice breathwork at home What is Bhakti yoga + spreading joy through your practice ...and so much more!

Mentioned in today's episode: Thank you today's sponsor, Liveli Use code MAVEN20 at checkout to receive 20% of your order Kindness...it seems so simple right? And still many young women (and men) struggle to be kind to themselves and to others every single day. Why is that? Why do we find it so challenging to extend kindness? Today on the show I'm chatting with Molly Thompson and Lauren Paul of Kind Campaign all about kindness, why it's missing and the long-term effects we're seeing from bullying. We've all had some kind of experience with bullying. Whether it's as the bully or the victim these traumas stay within us until we confront them. But once we do, we regain the power to put an end to hate. This episode is all about overcoming bullying and the importance of raising women up! Some other things we discussed: How Lauren and Molly started Kind Campaign The long-term impact of bullying How to move forward after bullying What is I was a bully?

To be honest, a lot of it stems from feeling like I'm in a good place with my body and my diet that sometimes knowing less is actually better for me. That being said, this show isn't just about me and I think it's important to jump into topics that I may not implement but could be helpful to other people. So today Dr. Josh Axe (yes - THE Dr. Axe!) is on the show today talking about the keto diet, intermittent fasting and how to tackle inflammation through diet. Fair warning: This episode may be triggering to people with a history of an eating disorder or who may be sensitive to diet talk. Weight-loss is mentioned and using diets to lose weight is a topic of conversation. While I do my best to try to keep this space body positive, I also am not here to edit my guests and I think it's important I keep an open mind with every interview, even if I don't necessarily agree. BUT one of the best parts of not agreeing with someone is also seeing how you can maintain respect for one another and meet each other in the middle.  Some other things we discussed: Who should be doing the keto diet? Changes in your diet to help with inflammation Using essential oils to support your overall health Is celery juice all it's cracked up to be? ...and so much more!

Mentioned in the episode: Use code MAVEN20 to save 20% off your first Liveli order It all started with an email. The Liveli team reached out asking if I was interested in trying some of their products and I'll be honest, my initial reaction was to say no. I get pitched daily to try out a new and innovative product and 99.9% of the time I say no. The wellness space can be overwhelming and I don't believe you need a ton of products to feel good in your body. Not to mention the fact that most brands sending products are doing so with some strings attached. But this email was different. Not only did their story catch my attention, but they weren't asking for anything in return- simply to try, and enjoy and provide them with any feedback I may have for them. No blog posts, or Instagram shares. Just my true and honest feedback. Now there's something I could get down with. So What Is Liveli? Liveli is a line of supplements made from biologically active vitamins, minerals, botanicals and precursors that are most proven to elevate the ease of body and mind. They have three lines: Focus Clearli (my fave!), Restore Dayli and Sleep Peacefulli. What I love about Liveli's line is that it's not just vitamins and minerals. They've incorporated herbs and plant medicine that can work in conjunction with vitamins and minerals to make the most effective supplements. And even better, they've formulated it into two pills so you're not taking 234628394 different pills all at once. For example, Focus Clearli, which helps with focus and concentration is a blend of: Bacopa, Ginseng, B12 and L-tyrosine (among several others)... Better yet, the story behind Liveli is nothing short of inspiring. Founded by a husband and wife team of MDs after Dr. James Lee was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2010. Dr. James and Dr. Tess began their own supplement routine to help support Dr. James' recovery and improve his brain health. They realized they were onto something and began prescribing a similar routine to their patients and saw incredible results. From their own experience they founded Liveli and the rest is history. After trying out the products for myself and falling in love with them, I reached out to the team asking if Dr. James and Dr. Tess would be willing to come on the show and share their story. I'm thrilled they agreed and today I'm sharing this informative episode all about brain health with you.

Mentioned in this episode: Thank you to today's sponsor, Anne Marie Gianni Skincare Aloe Herb Cleanser Clay Exfoliant Facial Oil Use code MAVEN15 to receive 15% off at checkout We talk a lot on here about how to nourish and move our bodies but what about how we manage our energy? And no, not just how many cups of coffee are your drinking a day...The more I dive deep into the world of yoga and develop more connection to spirituality, the more I have come to understand the value of energy and more specifically, our energetic bodies. How are we caring for ourselves? How are we setting boundaries? How are we nourishing our souls? The questions keep coming up in my own life and I knew it was time to have a candid conversation about it here on the show. Luckily, I knew just the person to have it with and I'm thrilled to welcome Deborah Hanekamp aka Mama Medicine onto the podcast today. It truly is hard to describe the work that Deborah does (hence why she's on the podcast!) but in essence, she brings 17 years of healing modalities into a specifically curated space for each client. Every session begins with an aura reading and ends with a prescriptive ritual bath. It's not meant to replace conventional or traditional medicine but instead to work with it. Oftentimes helping uncover a deeply seeded trauma that's been hiding in your body. As someone who carries their own trauma that can oftentimes be felt physically and most definitely, emotionally this resonates deeply with me. We're also chatting about sound healing, integrating the shadow and how to turn into your own energetic power. It's a good one!

Mentioned in the episode: Use code MAVENLOVE to save 15% at Aether Beauty  Clean Beauty 5 x5 video!: http://bit.ly/clean-foundations If you saw my post on Monday you know that clean beauty/makeup is something that's been on my mind a lot recently. It's been wonderful to see the incredible array of products now available in the clean beauty space, but it's also making it increasingly more confusing. How does one determine what's a quality product from one that isn't? What about sustainability and packaging? That's why I invited the incredible Tiila Abbitt, founder of Aether Beauty on the podcast today to discuss just that: how to make cleaner makeup choices and also support the environment.  Tiila started off her career in beauty working at Sephora in their product innovation group. It's no surprise she learned a ton from this experience which she's now brought to her latest venture, Aether Beauty. Aether is not only a cleaner, more sustainable makeup brand, they're also blurring the lines between makeup and spirituality. As I've begun experiencing a spiritual awakening of sorts (more on this soon), I love anyone who is considering spirituality as they develop new products. This is a great conversation for anyone looking to convert their makeup bag to cleaner products and be more intentional about their makeup choices.

SHOP HERE → http://bit.ly/2R4N62f The Art of Gathering...what does this really mean? To be honest, up until a few months ago I didn't think too much about the art of gathering, or if it existed at all. People can simply just come together in a space and enjoy themselves, right? Wrong. While gatherings can certainly happen spontaneously and still be enjoyable, there is much more to a successful and meaningful gathering. And the work that you put in ahead of time certainly is worth it. How do we know this? Thanks to Priya Parker, a conflict-resolution mediator and gatherings consultant. Priya is also the founder of Thrive Labs, where she helps activists, elected officials, corporate executives, educators, and philanthropists create transformative gatherings. She's the author of The Art of Gathering and is truly transforming the thought and practice that goes into creating meaningful gatherings, something that we do every day of our lives. This episode is applicable to everybody, whether you love to host dinner parties, find yourself in frequent meetings at your office or are deep in the wedding season circuit. There's something for everyone!   Join The Healthy Maven Tribe to ask guest questions and to find out who will be on the show before anyone else! http://facebook.com/groups/THMTribe Please don't forget to rate + review in iTunes if you love the podcast.

Camp Wellness: http://bit.ly/cw-bootcamp  Listen to last year's episode with Curt: http://bit.ly/2STXcYC It's the Valentine's Day episode! Or at least, it's the day before Valentine's Day...you get it! After last year's episode with my husband (then fiancé) Curt Lederle seemed to really resonate with you guys so I asked if he'd come back and join me again this year. Fortunately, I didn't seem to traumatize him too much after last year's episode and he happily said yes. So today's episode is all about what's changed, what hasn't changed and what's coming up next now that we're married. A few other topics we tackle: Did we know we were meant to be together when we met? How we managed long distance Best advice for supporting your SO when they’re going through job searching and transitioning jobs? Is Curt into health and wellness? What are you two most excited about that’s coming up?

Camp Wellness Bootcamp: http://bit.ly/cw-bootcamp  Human Design Quiz: https://www.jovianarchive.com/get_your_chart  Amanda's booking page: https://www.intuitivegalaxy.com/readings/  Human Design - Have you heard of it? Up until a few months ago I hadn't either. As a total astrology and personality testing nerd, it's no surprise that as soon as I discovered Human Design, I was obsessed. In some ways I believe that the universe meant for me to discover it because for months I kept having people bring it up with me and ask me what my design is? I knew it was time to dig in full-force when past podcast guest, Kelsey Patel connected me with a Human Design reader. And that's how I met today's podcast guest, Amanda Green from Intuitive Galaxy.

Sign-up for my FREE masterclass: http://bit.ly/masterclass-biz I love when I meet readers and people who follow The Healthy Maven and they're surprised that I'm pretty much the same human in person as I am online. I suck at lying so even if I wanted to live an alternate persona, there's no way anyone would buy it. Of course, I tend to have the same reaction when I meet people in real life. I'm not going to lie, I've been disappointed a few times, but most of the time it's pretty much as expected. And then sometimes you meet someone you follow and they're not only as cool as their online persona, but actually cooler. This, my friends, is Lily Diamond. I had the privilege of meeting Lily a few months ago during our trip with Earthbound Farms. Meeting Lily was like meeting a way cooler version of myself while simultaneously hoping she doesn't think I'm a huge weirdo (I am for the record). She's just one of those people. I think what I admire most about Lily is how she keeps it real. I've always valued authenticity. Not in the 2019 sense of overexposure and word vomit vulnerability, but in being thoughtful with your words and sharing with intention. So today on the show we're chatting about honesty, Lily's own health and wellness journey and how she's navigated many shifts in her life. It's a good one!

This is a topic that is near and dear to my heart and one that I think as women (and men!) we need to be talking about more. I could not have asked for a better or more knowledgable guest to come on the show and share her wisdom. Paige More (better known as Paige Previvor on the 'gram) never meant to become an advocate for breast health. It wasn't until she was diagnosed in her early 20s with the BRCA 1 gene mutation that she even considered the health of her breasts. From there her life flipped upside down. It started with an Instagram image as she went in for a preventative double mastectomy at age 24. From there she was introduced to a community of women that she never knew existed. Since then she's launched The Breasties and become an advocate for breast education and story-telling around women with the breast cancer gene mutations and breast cancer survivors. She is, without question, a huge inspiration to so many - myself included.

Kathryn is an internationally renowned and respected yoga instructor. She also runs a podcast of her own with her wife Kate Fagan (who I also love!). Kathryn is someone who I deeply admire for her introspection, self-compassion and for inspiring me to deepen my yoga practice. But in today's episode we're going beyond just yoga and why no one can be defined by a single thing. While Kathryn may have started her career as a yoga instructor she is, as we chat about, so much more than this. This episode really spoke to me as I evolve more in my personal and professional life and move through the rocky transition of change. Kathryn is reminding me that change and growth is a positive thing and not to resist the process.

Mentioned in this episode: Curt's Dad's article: http://bit.ly/2Lj7FH8  I'm having a hard time believing 2018 is coming to an end. At the same time I also feel a deep sense of relief that it is and am looking forward to welcoming in a new year and a clean slate. Though to be fair, I don't necessarily believe that come Jan 1 everything resets, but just by nature of having some time off around this time of year I have more time for reflection and brain space to consider what changes I might want to implement. It could just as easily happen on July 23rd (or any other day) but Jan 1 works for me...and seemingly the rest of the world! With more reflection time comes a new podcast episode where I'm sharing some things I'm afraid to tell you about 2018. The "things I'm afraid to tell you" series was inspired by Jess Lively (who also has a great podcast!) and I've shared my own version of it in the past. This time it comes to you in podcast form because these days it feels like the easiest and safest way for me to communicate my feelings with you. Because to be totally transparent with you: this year was HARD. That's not to say it's been all negative, it's just required a lot of reflection, intention and accepting that growth isn't always easy or fun. As I look back I certainly notice all the challenging moments, but there's also been some incredible ones. My husband and I committed to life together. I fulfilled my passion of bringing together women into a safe community with Camp Wellness. San Francisco 100% feels like home. It's been a year of a lot of highs and lows and some of them I haven't shared a whole lot with you. So in today's podcast episode I'm throwing it all out there and letting you in on the things I'm afraid to tell you and how I'm setting intentions as we go into 2019. Enjoy!

Mentioned in this episode: This episode's sponsor, Imperfect Produce. Use the code "Healthy Maven" at checkout to receive 50% off your order Have you ever thought about what goes in to making your mattress? How about your carpet? Do you really need an air purifier? These are all questions or thoughts that have come up over the last year. While I'm certainly not here to scare anyone, I do think it's important that we ask these questions and seek helpful answers to make educated decisions. That's why I asked Sophia Ruan Gushée of Non-Toxic Living to join me on the show to answer these questions. As I mentioned, my goal is never to scare anyone, only to inform and empower. Did I throw out my mattress after this episode? Hell no! I'm obsessed with our Four Seasons PillowTop, toxic or not! But when it comes to easier swaps like household cleaning products, body care products and the like, I really do feel it's valuable to have all the information. Sophia is an incredible resource for all of this information and more and like me believes in baby steps. So excited to share all this information with you. Here are a few things we talked about in today's episode: Sophia's journey and what was the catalyst to her explorations in non-toxic living Hidden toxins in our everyday lives that we may not even notice Home cleaning products and what to lookout for when buying them Tips for swapping out products without feeling overwhelmed Ways to improve the quality of the air in your home and plants galore!

What if I told you it didn't have to be? Well guess what? I am! Today on the pod I have Jamila Souffrant, a certified financial education instructor sharing all about managing your money, some important steps to take and how to not stress out about your bank account. Let's just say this episode is an important one. A lot of us don't talk about the struggles we have around money because we're ashamed and afraid. Many of us suffer in silence. But it doesn't have to be this way. Financial health is a key component to your overall health and well-being. It's not something to be ignored. It's also not something we're traditionally taught in school. So today's episode is tackling all of these questions and topics and jumping in to how to manage your relationship with money so it isn't rooted in fear. Here are a few things we talked about in today's episode: Jamila's story with money and her story that led to Journey to Launch What starting a vending machine business taught her about managing money Practical steps to saving money and gaining financial independence Budgeting for the future- short-term vs. long-term goals Saving for a side-hustle or turning your passion into a career Talking about financials with your partner Resources for learning more about financial independence What advice she would give to her 20 year old self Join The Healthy Maven Tribe to ask guest questions and to find out who will be on the show before anyone else! http://facebook.com/groups/THMTribe Please don't forget to rate + review in iTunes if you love the podcast.
