Talor Stewart has a very different way of looking at home design, and I am here for it! Conscious Home Design is Talor's business and the name of his #1 Best Selling book. What does a home truly need to provide? There has been research done about what makes people happy as they age; Talor has incorporated both of these studies and more with his Architecture education to offer Conscious Home Design. He offers a workbook and also a certification for Architects and Designers who are inspired by his work.I love Talor's wording in his bio: "My message is one of hope and possibility, and the single biggest thing we can do to make our homes support our long-term happiness."You can find Conscious Home Design here: https://conscioushomedesign.com/Talor is active on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conscioushomedesign/Send me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

Christa Dhimo is a New England Podcaster who I hadn't had much of a chance to get to know until I talked about my sustainability podcast in our community, and Christa, Founder of Impono - Senior Business Advisor, went full-on nerdy about DIRT. Christa hosts a podcast about business questions called Ask Christa, where people will write in whatever business questions they might have - from executive to employee and everything in between, because she's seen it all - and she answers them on the podcast, with sources and lots of notes to follow.Christa says "dirt/soil is the foundation of everything that fuels life." She reuses leaves and tired soil to make healthy soil and goes into detail about how easy and inexpensive it is, and all you can do with it. Her excitement about all of this is infectious.You can learn about Christa's business Impono here: https://impono-llc.com/If you have any questions about business at all, go to https://www.askchrista.com/Christa is only on Linkedin for socials here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christadhimo/Send me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

This conversation with Doug Katz went deeper than expected, but it was SO good! Doug is a retired Military Veteran who has used his disability as inspiration to create adaptive items. He just started selling the Nulu adaptive knife last summer - it's inspired by the Inuit Ulu, but adjusted to accommodate his and others' disability. Talking with Doug, I learned that there are Adaptive Libraries across the country, so that someone can try an item before buying. The conversation got deep when we went into whether a disability is really a disability, which may have gone a little off topic, but I felt like it was too important a thread to not pull on, and I'm glad we did. This is a topic that I've thought a lot about, but haven't really had the chance to vocalize, and I imagine Doug is always ready to go into it.I love Doug's entrepreneurial spirit and his inventor mind - and how he's working to extend independence for people.Here's Doug's website for Nulu Knives: https://nuluknives.com/He's on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/d.m.katzHe's on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/DOUGLASMKATZ/If you loved this ability convo and would like Doug to speak, here's his speaker link: https://dougkatz8.wixsite.com/douglasmkatzSend me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

Climate Storyteller barely touches on the work that Maya Lilly has been a part of in the climate change world; she's part of the Emmy Award Winning The Years Project. She's been an activist since she was 15. She's a Producer, Speaker, and Climate Storyteller. She was named to the Grist 50 for revolutionizing Hollywood's approach to Climate Storytelling. She uses storytelling as a force for justice, empathy and real climate action. "Maya's voice remains unmistakable, credible, courageous and profoundly human." - this was taken from the Grist 50 write up of her - my eyes couldn't let go of profoundly human...I saw Maya's profile on the Podmatch site, and was so curious, but also felt intimidated by the breadth of her work. Thankfully, I was approached by her PR Rep. Maya's life is fascinating, and she has so much to share! We'd love for you to share The Years Project documentary Years of Living Dangerously with your people. This project is partnered with Hollywood actors who also want to make a difference, so they're using their celebrity to help bring these climate topics to light. I've linked a bonus segment below - there's an entire season available for free on YouTube!We also talked about things we can do to help - Maya gave a list of things, like 1) VOTING - voting in climate politicians, 2) divesting from fossil fuels and electrifying everything, 3) boycotting companies slowing or reversing progress, 4) eating more plant based, and 5) finding out if our banks are supporting causes we care aboutFollow Maya Lilly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gunghoeco/Here's an extensive list of Maya's workHere's a clip of The Years of Living Dangerously, with my celebrity crush, Harrison Ford: https://youtu.be/wzD4Xx3drAI?si=kyRiBA1j9-rWO-zEhttps://bankforgood.org/ so we know who and what our money supports Send me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

I found Jacaranda Hemp Apparel through a podcast guest newsletter and thought that by satisfying some curiosity we can learn more about an available sustainable fabric with so many great qualities! I got my 'I grew up under a rock' questions out of the way before recording to spare you, but there's still plenty to learn.There are so many things about Jacaranda that impress me, like their entrepreneurial spirit, and their scrappiness, but I absolutely love that these guys (there are 4 - we're meeting Billy and Harrison, but there's also Milo and Henry) have been friends since childhood, and they work so well together! And they have a network of entrepreneurs that they work with to keep their products hyper-local, in case there's anything they're not able to work out on their own. Because of this network, they are a full service business, offering everything in one place, instead of importing and shipping.  We talk about why hemp is the future of apparel, and why sustainable merch isn't just good for a business, it's good for the planet by not stealing from tomorrow. Jacaranda donates 3% of their profit to The Tree People. I am so impressed by the sheer number of one-liners these guys can come up with on the spot- but also their extensive education and entrepreneurship. The story of their start is fun and also inspiring, but I'll let you hear it from them.Jacaranda's website is here: https://jacarandahemp.com/They're on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jacarandahempclothing/They're on TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@jacaranda.hempSend me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

Today on the show we are talking about an upcoming fundraiser full of vendors selling hot chocolate and the mission they are trying to support: making 2SLGBTQ+ history and research accessible through the N.L. Queer Research Initiative.GUESTS - Sarah Worthman, N.L. Queer Research Initiative; Michelle Macey, Owner of Olive Branch Charcuterie; Colt Politte, executive director of Quadrangle N.L.; andRhea Rollmann, Journalist, audio producer and the author of the book “A Queer History of Newfoundland."

I attended Chad Thompson's talk at the SOVA Rise Entrepreneur Summit last October about business planning, I didn't tell him this, but it wasn't a talk that I thought really pertained to me, since I didn't really have a business to market so to speak; something drew me to it- and I'm so glad I listened to that! Chad mentioned something about the business plan that I had never heard or even thought about before, and honestly I didn't hear much after that. I've been guilty of thinking the business plan was lame. I felt like he was speaking directly to me; I didn't quite know how I'd pitch him to be my podcast guest, or how the conversation would actually go, but I did, and he said yes. And I'm so very glad it all worked out (I took a couple of weeks to actually email him, and my email ended up in his spam), because this conversation with Chad just felt beautiful.Chad and his wife own The Book Cellar, a used book store in Abingdon, VA - their mission is to make literacy affordable, and they wanted to do things differently, and it has worked very well! He talks about why the store is so successful, and shares some pretty incredible stories that show how they're making it all work after only 2 1/2 years, and creating a supportive community in the process. Y'all, check out my Instagram or Linkedin Post promoting this, or go watch this on YouTube, because you can see the very small, but most welcoming used bookstore that is The Book Cellar.Chad is also a YouTube creator, talking about lifestyle  learnings, and also journaling.

Let me tell you a little story about my meeting Samantha Erickson... I think she reached out to me (my Instagram name is Grounded in Maine, and she's a Maine business, so I assume that's why), and the idea of used formal dresses was such a great business plan, so I was sold, and invited her to talk about it on the podcast. When I got her podcast guest form, she said "turning grief and pain into purpose," and if you know me, I'm all in for all the deep conversations, so I couldn't wait for the chance to learn more about the story of Tia's Prom Closet Project. Tia Morrell was Samantha's best friend, and she passed away in 2024, 4 months after giving birth to her first child, Zara. Tia was a total fashion girl, and had a huge heart, not letting someone miss out on a special occasion because they didn't have the right outfit - Samantha tells the sweetest story showing this. So Samantha, Tia's mom, and a couple other of Tia's friends started Tia's Prom Closet Project - really a circular fashion goldmine, located in the small town of Harrison in southern Maine. They started 4 months ago now with 20 dresses, and 3 months later when I spoke with Samantha, they had received close to 600 donated dresses to offer folks!Samantha has so many stories about this, and the reach they've made in just a few short months shows the power of community.  I'm going to leave you with this last quote from Samantha: "This is bigger than dresses; it's about dignity. A pay it forward movement built on kindness, confidence, and connection, all in honor of an incredible soul.Every dress that leaves our racks carries more than fabric and sparkle — it carries a story, a piece of someone else's love and hope." You can find Tia's Prom Closet Project on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/tiaspromcloset/ And on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/people/Tias-Prom-Closet/61580223976310/Send me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

stonden dicht bij elkaar, hun gezichten rood van de kou.En: Sander, Maarten, and Femke stood close together, their faces red from the cold.Nl: De stad onder hen lag te glinsteren in een dunne laag sneeuw.En: The city below them shimmered under a thin layer of snow.Nl: De lucht was zo helder dat je de haven in de verte kon zien liggen.En: The air was so clear that you could see the harbor lying in the distance.Nl: "Ik ga winnen," zei Sander koppig, zijn ogen gevuld met vastberadenheid.En: "I'm going to win," said Sander stubbornly, his eyes filled with determination.Nl: "Niemand kan mij verslaan in een warme chocolademelk-drinkwedstrijd!"En: "No one can beat me in a hot chocolate drinking contest!"Nl: Maarten lachte en maakte een grap om de sfeer te verlichten.En: Maarten laughed and made a joke to lighten the mood.Nl: "Misschien winnen we wel een prijs voor de snelst bevroren chocolademelk!"En: "Maybe we'll win a prize for the fastest frozen hot chocolate!"Nl: Femke, met haar gebruikelijke praktische blik, keek naar haar beker waarin het schuim al begon te kristalliseren.En: Femke, with her usual practical outlook, looked at her cup where the foam was already beginning to crystalize.Nl: "Misschien moeten we het idee van de wedstrijd laten varen en gewoon genieten."En: "Maybe we should abandon the contest idea and just enjoy it."Nl: Maar Sander schudde zijn hoofd, vastberaden.En: But Sander shook his head, determined.Nl: Hij rommelde in zijn jaszak en haalde een kleine handwarmer tevoorschijn.En: He rummaged in his jacket pocket and pulled out a small hand warmer.Nl: "Kijk, ik heb dit meegenomen.En: "Look, I brought this.Nl: Hiermee verwarm ik mijn beker.En: I'll use it to warm my cup.Nl: Dan kan ik winnen."En: Then I can win."Nl: Femke fronste haar wenkbrauwen.En: Femke furrowed her brow.Nl: "Ik weet niet of dat een goed idee is, Sander.En: "I don't know if that's a good idea, Sander.Nl: Misschien is het gevaarlijk."En: It might be dangerous."Nl: Sander luisterde niet.En: Sander didn't listen.Nl: Hij plaatste zijn beker boven de handwarmer, in de hoop de warme chocolademelk te ontdooien.En: He placed his cup above the hand warmer, hoping to thaw the hot chocolate.Nl: Langzaam werd de chocolademelk weer vloeibaar.En: Slowly, the chocolate became liquid again.Nl: Maar precies op dat moment gebeurde het: Sander verloor zijn grip en de beker kantelde.En: But just at that moment, it happened: Sander lost his grip, and the cup tilted.Nl: Een stroom van warme chocolademelk gleed over het dek, terwijl Sander een poging deed het te vangen.En: A stream of hot chocolate glided across the deck, while Sander made an attempt to catch it.Nl: Het hele tafereel was als in slow motion, en Maarten barstte in lachen uit.En: The

Tom Schueneman has lived a fascinating life of traveling and music, and now has been an environmental journalist for several years - literally a member of the Society for Environmental Journalists. This year he started hosting his own podcast, which was called Global Warming is Real - recently rebranded to Earthbound, which is so good. Tom is very thoughtful and really cares about the earth and people, and that comes across very clearly. Reading his Podmatch bio, I learned he was born without peripheral vision, which was repaired, but that time taught him so much empathy for humans.I loved getting to talk with Tom, because he's gotten to do some really cool things, like attend global environmental summits, and he's currently working on a film about packaging. And I loved hearing about his previous career in music! You'll see - he's just really easy to talk to, and can talk about pretty much anything. You can find Tom's website and podcast here: https://tdsenvironmentalmedia.com/He's on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/tdschueneman/and on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/WatchingthePlanetSend me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

Hello to you, Marilyn, listening in Hancock, New Hampshire!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington, this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Wednesdays on Whidbey—this final day of the old year—and your host, Diane Wyzga.      Shoveling Snow With Buddha by Billy Collins"In the usual iconography of the temple or the local Wokyou would never see him doing such a thing,tossing the dry snow over the mountainof his bare, round shoulder,his hair tied in a knot,a model of concentration. Sitting is more his speed, if that is the wordfor what he does, or does not do. Even the season is wrong for him.In all his manifestations, is it not warm and slightly humid?Is this not implied by his serene expression,that smile so wide it wraps itself around the waist of the universe? But here we are, working our way down the driveway,one shovelful at a time.We toss the light powder into the clear air.We feel the cold mist on our faces.And with every heave we disappearand become lost to each otherin these sudden clouds of our own making,these fountain-bursts of snow. This is so much better than a sermon in church,I say out loud, but Buddha keeps on shoveling.This is the true religion, the religion of snow,and sunlight and winter geese barking in the sky,I say, but he is too busy to hear me. He has thrown himself into shoveling snowas if it were the purpose of existence,as if the sign of a perfect life were a clear drivewayone you could back the car down easilyand drive off into the vanities of the worldwith a broken heater fan and a song on the radio. All morning long we work side by side,me with my commentaryand he inside the generous pocket of his silence,until the hour is nearly noonand the snow is piled high all around us;then, I hear him speak. After this, he asks,can we go inside and play cards? Certainly, I reply, and I will heat some milkand bring cups of hot chocolate to the tablewhile you shuffle the deck,and our boots stand dripping by the door. Aaah, says the Buddha, lifting his eyesand leaning for a moment on his shovelbefore he drives the thin blade againdeep into the glittering white snow."My New Year wish for you: As the old year folds onto itself and the new year dawns I wish for you that your everyday activities, even the very simple tasks, bring humor, contemplation, and a sense of magic in the ordinary. May you find your way on the path following a compass heading of True North. May the love you seek wend its way to you. May you dream well, journey far, and be sustained in hope that what you're looking for is looking for you.You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Julie Colombino-Billingham was working in disaster response 15 years ago, and was in Haiti after the earthquake of 2010. She never went back. She fell in love with the resilience and kindness of the people, and started a business with them called Deux Mains (two hands), making sustainable, fair trade leather bags and accessories - and also school shoes for students that they sell to churches and ministries to distribute. These beautiful bags are sold in Nordstrom! During the time she's been working with the people of Haiti, Julie's interviewed residents and documented her time, and launched her memoir earlier this month - it's called From Loss to Legacy: How a Fashion Business Rose from Haiti's Rubble. All book proceeds will go to REBUILD globally, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting poverty in Haiti through education and job training.Julie wants to relay the message of the power of our purpose - that our purchases make a global impact.Deux Mains website is here: https://deuxmains.com/pages/our-story-2Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/deuxmains_official/Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DeuxMainsDesigns/They're on Pinterest here: https://www.pinterest.com/deuxmainsdesigns/Julie's TedX Talk is here: https://youtu.be/XE76NResiUcSend me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

As everyone is seeing their electricity bills rise, the opportunity to speak with Our Power Maine came up. I'm speaking with the Executive Director Seth Berry, and Policy and Communications Fellow Isabelle Winstead - just days after  they succeeded in pausing what seemed to many as a huge increase in Maine's CMP (Central Maine Power) rates. It's historic to halt the monopoly of a utility like this, and they are very happy to share why they are so passionate about helping Mainers to have other options. And don't feel left out if you're not in Maine - Our Power is in several states, and even if not, you can reach out to Our Power Maine and they'll get you in touch with someone to help.Seth and Our Power Maine are focused on transparency and energy democracy, and with good reason. He brought up the Halloween storm of 2017, and I said I started saving all the electric bills I received after that storm, because CMP sent me 3 bills in 1 month. We talked about Maine Community Power Cooperative (MCPC), and breaking the monopoly that CMP has with Maine's energy. MCPC offers up to 20% savings for CMP customers. This conversation was enlightening and encouraging, and I hope you'll reach out to them, to learn more about how we can take our own power backOur Power site: https://ourpowermaine.org (remember, you don't need to be a Maine resident to ask questions!)They're on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/ourpowerme/On Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/ourpowermaine/And Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/our-power-maine/Another resource is https://www.efficiencymaine.com/Send me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

Y'all, sometimes things just fall into place, and the chance to talk with Annamarie Pluhar is definitely one of those! As I'm in the process of selling my VA house and looking for a new place to live, and knowing that to grow food for more than 1 will take more time and energy than I have, partnering with folks feels like it needs to be part of my plan (always was, but less for the financial aspect), but then enters Annamarie into my world with all her experience and wisdom...Annamarie has been sharing housing for years, and has created a guidebook of things that are helpful if you're planning to share space.

Send us a textOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are off on a magical adventure to the North Pole! We watched the 2004 film from Robert Zemeckis, The Polar Express.We are curious, if we exhibit signs of doubting the existence of Santa Claus, does that mean we too can be whisked away by some version of Tom Hanks to be proven wrong? If that's possible, then Santa who? What Claus?That might not have been why our Hero Boy had his suspicions, but it sure as heck worked out well for him. He got to drink the tastiest hot chocolate ever! He made new friends! He met the real freaking Santa Claus!

Live from NABPAC's annual holiday luncheon, between hot chocolate refills and holiday cheer, we reflect on what makes this PAC community unique.

When I was approached by Brett Aldrich's team, I wasn't quite sure how the conversation would go - if it would be something you would be interested in; but maybe this convo was more for me than you? I booked a visit with her, at least! You'll hear me fumble my way around what I thought Ayurveda was (clearly I'm wrong), but Brett's practice is absolutely fascinating to me! Did you know about Ayurveda before today?Brett's practice is located in Maine, but she offers virtual visits as well, which is how my appointment will be the day before this airs! She touched on the topic of elements, which I've never heard of (not like the table of elements), and I had too many questions to let it go - so I've got an hour and 1/2 with her to get caught up. To quote Brett: "Just as the earth is made up of natural elements, so are we." She also said this: "sustainability begins within ourselves."My takeaway: what we take into our bodies matters - it either helps or hinders, and if we understand that and take notice of our body's response, we may just have an easier go of life. That's not really new info to me, but the delivery was everything to me. I'm so looking forward to some extra time with Brett and learn about my elements, and how to live better with that info! I hope you learned something new in this conversation, too!You can find all things Brett here: https://seedthespirit.com/She's on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/p/Seed-The-Spirit-LLC-61575858674934/Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

Amy, JJ and Robbie try A LOT of hot chocolates to find the best one in Fargo/ Moorhead. Here's how it shook out: Tied for first - Vampire Penguin and Caribou, Tied for third - Northstar and Kwik Star, in the middle, a legit pick - Moonrise Cafe and at the bottom of the list, in no particular order (and probably more on the cocoa side) - Koda, Starbucks and Sifted and Sweet Baking Co.

I was first introduced to Clara Schroeder through recent podcast guest Brittany Hansen, knowing that I would love talking with Clara - I'm super grateful to Brittany for that!Clara is an Eco Therapist who has been working with big companies like Microsoft, Women in Cloud, Aura, and Insight Timer, and more. Clara recently published ReNature: How Nature Helps Us Feel better and Do Better, and she's here to talk about that, and about what EcoTherapy is. Her goal is to help people to deepen the connection to the natural world so they can find well being, hope and resilience. One of the things Clara said was "When you love and care for yourself with intention and sustainable action, you are loving and caring for the earth." And to quote another recent podcast guest Vince Aiello, "We are nature," so that makes so much sense, right?I loved getting to talk with Clara - I hope you enjoy it, too!You can find all things Clara here: https://www.claraschroeder.com/She's also on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/livingwithclarity/She's on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clara-schroeder-ma/Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

This conversation is a little heavier than most, but it's so important to talk about. I can honestly say I knew almost nothing about West Virginia before I came across these ladies, but I can't say that anymore. Julie Eisenberg and Babette Hogan are here to talk about their first documentary together that just debuted called Running for the Mountains. "This is about politics and keeping our water and air safe, requiring political action; and keeping West Virginia safe is of national importance. "Running for the Mountains" exposes some of the toxic structure that allows the polluting of our commons. Step up and into politics!" (Babette's words)I'm not going to try to describe the film; it's too complex (Babette said it in 1 sentence, but I didn't write it down), but I can say I honestly learned a ton about the WV lifestyle and people, and the direction the political climate has been heading, and it makes me both sad and scared - and also SO proud of those who are fighting. Babette and Julie have spent a good part of the last 15 years researching, following people and stories, and filming in WV, and they have seen a lot to have strong feelings about. I didn't finish the film the first time through- I literally turned my phone OFF because I got so mad. But I was expected to finish it, so I watched again. These ladies did a wonderful job of catching so many personalities and opinions through this film that you really feel protective of the people. And they need that, and deserve that. Super grateful for this education from Julie and Babette!   You can get all the info about, and get a link to watch Running for the Mountains here: https://www.runningforthemountains.com/Their Facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/R4M2024/Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

Target and Starbucks have partnered to create an exclusive frozen peppermint hot chocolate available only at Starbucks cafes inside Target stores nationwide. This episode, Sponsored A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and Quorso, explores why this seemingly small move could signal Target's merchandising mojo is returning. Chris loves this idea, calling it "smart merchandising that leverages a true differentiation point." Target Circle 360 members get 24-hour early access. While the impact may be small potatoes compared to Target's larger challenges, it's exactly the kind of creative thinking Target used to do well. Anne highlights an additional experience: select Target stores are featuring weekend hot cocoa bars where kids can customize drinks creating memories and driving foot traffic. Both hosts wonder if this could become Target's next "pumpkin spice latte" moment. Producer Ella agrees this is brilliant... adding a Starbucks drink to her hand means even longer browsing time in Target.

I hope you love this conversation with Vince Aiello as much as I do! I found Vince by chance on Instagram - or maybe he found me? I forget. But I love his business Fire and Foraging, and we struck up a conversation and I invited him to talk on the podcast, and I'm SO glad I did! Vince is a nature guide in Wisconsin, and is a real pro! I learned so much - he talked about fire adaptive species and fire ecology; we talked about invasive EDIBLE plants to help plants thrive, and how humans share 80% of DNA with trees (did you know that? I sure didn't). Some of the species we discussed are dandelion, of course - how every part of the plant is beneficial, also Dames rocket and Queen Anne's Lace. Speaking of edible plants, do you recognize the mushroom on this episode's art?I also learned from Vince that there's a Mid West Wild Food conference, and that he's worked with Alexis Nikole (The Black Forager on Instagram - she's so great!) a few times!Vince says "You are nature," and his goal is for people to connect with their local environment. And he's doing that - one nature walk at a time.Vince's website is here: https://www.fireandforaging.com/Here's his Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/woods_treker/He is also a writer - here's an article of his: https://driftlessareamag.com/unicdn/2022/04/04/driftless-the-beautifully-unglaciated-area/**(the mushroom is Chicken of the Woods!)Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

I loved learning about Kimberly Haley Coleman and Globe Aware- an award winning short term volunteer abroad program available in 26 countries. I didn't know this was a thing, but I'm so glad it is! You can travel abroad to learn about a new place, help people and find purpose - this sounds like my kind of vacation! Tropical destinations, cooler weather, far away, or closerby, there's something for everyone. Kimberly says they can teach the kills; they just need kind, willing people, to offer short term support - solo, or as a group!Kimberly previously worked in Aerospace, and several High-level tech jobs - we talked a little bit about people sending their lost loved ones' ashes to space to be released when she mentioned it. This isn't quite as far off from her previous careers as it might sound, but I'll let Kimberly talk about that in the episode. When I asked Kimberly what message she'd like you to remember from this conversation, she said this: "It is inspiring and meaningful to engage in thoughtful service abroad" Kimberly has been working in the international field since 1990, so she's got her finger on the button of what is needed; and she is committed to everyone having a meaningful experience - on both sides of the service.You can find all things GlobeAware here: https://www.globeaware.org/They're on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/globeaware/?hl=enAnd Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/globeawareYou can see what these intentional vacations are like on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GlobeAwareSend me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

Good stories told badly as we take bickering to the level of an Olympic sport, and get deep into the true nature of crockery with the truly ying and yang of Kyoto jazz joints.

This conversation with CEO of Dip HairCare Kate Assaraf was so fun for me, because 1: it's Dip shampoo bars, and if you've listened to the podcast for a while, you've heard me talk about shampoo bars, and 2: we're talking about an exciting collab with Kate/Dip and GoGo Refill, my refill store back in Maine that I love. They've done a few collabs together, but this November 13, Kate is debuting GoGo Refill's very own exclusive shampoo bar scent, and they'll both be at the South Portland GoGo Refill store to celebrate!Kate's big message is to shop local - especially with the holidays coming up, but in general, consider shopping small and local when we can. Nobody is perfect, but we can try to be support local when it's possible, and keep the currency circulating locally - it also creates a relationship...We talked about Kate's product ingredients, and one of her secrets she's keeping to herself, but another is that she has 20+ years in the beauty industry, and she uses some of the highest quality, science-backed ingredients in the most expensive shampoos - so you're not missing out by using a shampoo bar!Dip has been awarded best hair care and doing good for the planet AND has been recognized as an Oprah favorite!Please don't forget to go to GoGo Refill in S Portland, ME on November 13 for the unveiling of Dip's exclusive shampoo bar scent Coastal Maine Pine!Find Dip headquarters here: https://dipalready.com/Dip's Instagram page is here to follow : https://www.instagram.com/dipalready/Wherever you're on socials, look up Dipalready .We talked about my fave refill store, GoGo Refill- shop sustainable products here: https://www.gogorefill.com/We also talked a little bit about Guster, and the program that Adam co-founded to bring water refill to concerts - here's more about the program https://reverb.org/artist/guster/Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

I loved learning about Lindsey Turnbull's life in activism! I did an episode with Laura Marston of GoGo Refill way back in episode 10, I think... Anyway, it's been a while since we've talked about the cool things about refilleries. Lindsey is the owner of From Here To Home Essentials, a really cool home based refillery in Maryland and Washington DC - and she offers DELIVERY for busy folks, even! Like Laura of GoGo Refill, Lindsey is more than a shop owner - she's an educator and activist; always a "crunchy granola treehugger" are her words... Have you been to a refillery? I think they're the most fun place to try new things and get as much of something as I want - or just a sample to try something new! From Here to Home Essentials offers shipping for non-liquid items.In 2019 she applied for a 3 day boating adventure to research litter in the ocean and was surprised to be accepted, and was also surprised at what she took away from just 3 days on a boat, and that experience launched her into From Here to Home Essentials.Lindsey is very passionate about recycling  - and recycling properly, so that it's effective, and she has a lot to say about plastics - buckle up! It's important to know... We talk about recycling rates, plastic types and what we can do to help correct the recycling situation.You can find Lindsey ad her shop here: https://www.fromheretohomeessentials.com/And on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/fromheretohomeessentials/Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

I learned so much speaking with Kelsey Green about digital minimalism!  I've heard about more and more people removing themselves from social media, and the thought seems overwhelming at times, but at the same time knowing there's some addiction (where's my phone? I need my phone handy! What if someone can't reach me? Have you had any of those thoughts?), and we've probably all heard the phrase "loneliness epidemic," right? I've been very cureious about it--In comes Kelsey L Green - she works at the intersection of community, strategy, and accountability, helping people stop stalling and start building lives that truly light them up. She offers a free 24 hour technology free challenge twice a month - which is a great test of our focus - both of how much we're focused on technology, and how much focus on life we can have without it. When we talked, I hadn't done the challenge yet, but I've since done it - I admit I did probably 98% (I talked to my sister on the phone), but otherwise, I made it!Here's more info on the 24 hour screen free challenge here: https://www.kelseylgreen.com/screen-free-sunday-challengesShe talks a lot about Cal Newport's Digital Minimalism book - she has been studying this to grow her own practice - look for that wherever you buy/find books.Kelsey hosts an accountability mastermind called Summit in Six - here's a link to info on that - Summit in Six is a high-accountability mastermind for women creators and entrepreneurs who are done circling their ideas and are ready to make their move.Find all things Kelsey here: https://www.kelseylgreen.com/Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

Y'all, I'm feeling like a million bucks sharing this conversation with you that I got to have with Amanda Leland, Executive Director of the Environmental Defense Fund... I'm still pinching myself! Amanda became a member of the EDF when she was 13, so she's been training to be Executive Director for a few years!Amanda just published Sea Change: Unlikely Allies and a Success Story of Oceanic Proportions, with James Workman - it published September 30! It tells the story of how fishermen, scientists, and environmentalists set aside their distrust and their differences to forge an unlikely alliance to help solve the overfishing crisis in our oceans. It was exciting to hear her talk about it!Amanda has Maine ties, growing up in Massachusetts and visiting every summer. She has a Masters Degree in Marine Biology from UMaine, and has a very different Maine experience than I've had, so you know I loved hearing about it... She also worked as a marine mammal zookeeper!I asked Amanda to talk about what EDF does, too: they are a global nonprofit organization tackling climate change — the greatest challenge of our time. Their bold, game-changing solutions are people centered. Their goals are stabilizing the climate, strengthening people and nature's ability to thrive, and supporting peoples' health - very important work!Learn more about EDF here: https://www.edf.org/You can learn more about Sea Change here: https://prbythebook.com/experts/james-workman-and-amanda-leland/EDF on Instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/environmental_defense_fundAmanda's own Instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/avleland/On Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/EnvDefenseFundTikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@envdefensefundSend me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

Y'all, in over 3 years, I can't remember doing a full episode on the OCEAN! Until now - Andrew Lewin is a total ocean geek - in the best way! He grew up far from the ocean, but watched Jacques Cousteau shows and was OBSESSED. He has a Masters in Marine Biology, and hosts the How To Protect the Ocean podcast and co hosts the Beyond Jaws podcast. How To Protect the Ocean has over 1800 episodes! He was recording 5 episodes a week for a bit; now it's only 3 a week (plus a job)... and he's hosted the podcast for 10 years! His podcast topic is ocean conservation, and the reasons and ways we can protect the ocean.Andrew's message he hopes you'll keep with you: "You can live for a better ocean by learning about the ocean and making small changes in your lifestyle to protect the planet." We talked about recycling and mindfulness, so many things, really - My favorite takeaway from this conversation, besides 1800 episodes and recording 3 days/week - Andrew said "conservation is collaboration," and I was all done - that made me think, and it felt like a mic drop for me. Think about that for a moment - what does that phrase mean to you? Let me know, please - I'd love to hear from you!Look for Andrew Lewin's awesome podcast How To Protect the Ocean here: https://www.speakupforblue.com/podcastHe's on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lewinandrew/You can find him on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/howtoprotecttheocean/He's on TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@speakupforblueSend me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

I learned a lot about wardrobe management in this conversation with Julia Dietmar! I had a totally different idea of what Open Wardrobe was going into this convo, but she set me straight. There are so many ways to use Open Wardrobe, developed by Julia. Her goal is to cut down on overconsumption of clothes by digitizing, which is very cool! you have your entire wardrobe handy, so when you go shopping, you already know you have 4 white tops and 3 pair of black pants, etc. OR you can pull up your wardrobe if you're shopping to see how a new red top would fit in - how many combos you can make, to make it feel worthwhile... There's also an option to get your fave clothing items REPAIRED!The last company Julia worked with is called ThredUp; it's an online consignment and thrift store where you can buy and sell high-quality secondhand clothes. But she started in software programming, and just always loved fashion, so she's combined the two, which is brilliant! Julia's aim with Open Wardrobe is to empower fashion consumers with mindful dressing, and I'm here for that!Julia is offering a 30% discount for my listeners when you set up an account with Open Wardrobe - just  enter code GroundedYou can find Julia and Open Wardrobe here: https://www.openwardrobe.co/Julia's also on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/openwardrobeofficial/And on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/openwardrobeofficial/Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

Lights, cameras, color action! This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we kick things off Hollywood-style with a red carpet rundown of the 2025 Emmy Awards, who wore what, which looks wowed, and the standout style moments that had our stylist team talking. From fashion hits to near misses, our “In the News” segment proves that awards season always delivers plenty of wardrobe wisdom. Then, we trade sequins for swatches and dive headfirst into the Pantone Color Institute's Fall/Winter 2025/2026 palette. Think zesty Lemon Grass, cozy Hot Chocolate, sultry Damson, fiery Poppy Red, and dreamy Lyons Blue plus the seasonless classics like French Roast and Mauve Wine. According to Pantone, these shades strike the perfect balance between casual ease and subtle elegance. But did our team agree? Was the palette muted… or more? Tune in as we unpack the palette's “poetic nuance,” debate which colors bring drama vs. snooze factor, and share stylist approved tips on what unexpected hues to pair them with. Whether you're plotting a fall wardrobe refresh, styling for impact, or just love geeking out on fashion forecasts, this episode is your colorful guide to autumn/winter style trends. Happy Styling.

Oh my goodness, this conversation with Megha Patil made me wish I had a young girl in my family! Megha describes Happy Lilliput as "Exquisite Celebration Attire" - can you just picture that? Megha said growing up in India birthdays are a BIG DEAL - like sometimes thousands of guests to celebrate you, and very fancy clothes. She was fascinated by fashion; she went to design school, and was frustrated by the waste that she saw, so she decided to design her own patterns and clothes. And boy oh boy, has she made an impact! I really encourage you to check out my Social media post from September 22, or follow her website link below - I'll be sharing a few photos of Megha's team in India, and I snagged a photo from her website so you can see one of the incredible dresses they make. She is so proud of her team, and the pride they all have in the work they do. Happy Lilliput isn't just about sustainable Celebration Attire, but also supporting the super skilled folks in her home country, and the difference her business makes in their lives. Megha talks about how women are encouraged to stay home in India, and how flexible work schedules are, so that people are able to take care of their lives AND bring some money home and help to support their family, and also how big of an impact having some work has had on the team and their families.I just loved learning about this process, and all the things that Megha is up to. I sure hope you do, too!You can find Megha and Happy Lilliput here: https://happylilliput.com/You can find them on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/happylilliput/?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3DOn YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@HAPPYLILLIPUT-nq4dh/videosAnd on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/happylilliput/?invite_code=599b6a3bd39a46b099f08513eb5079d9&sender=762445549323656149Send me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)
