Karissa Pukas and I have an interesting past. We first connected online back in 2011, and met in person in 2013. We filmed two videos together, one at my house in Perth and another in Sydney with Shannon, Chloe and myself (who remembers?!). All was well until it... wasn't. Something happened (tune in to find out what) and that was the end of our friendship. I blocked Karissa from everything and she unfollowed me right back. I'm a grudge holder, so I genuinely thought that was the end of that chapter for good. It wasn't until I heard from Karissa years later that we were able to reconnect and go over what happened between us; this time with a bit more maturity at our disposal. This episode goes into all of the nitty gritty details about why Karissa was mad at me, why I was mad at her and how we came to a resolution years later. We've both learnt so much over the years and came to discover that we actually have way more in common now, then we ever did before. It's a great story full of lots of life lessons, so we hope you enjoy. You can find Karissa at: http://youtube.com/karissapukas and https://www.instagram.com/karissapukas/ :)

This week, we're diving deep into holistic wellness, including non-toxic living, breast implant illness, adaptogenics, and cannabis, PLUS a general conversation around how to make informed choices about your health and wellbeing instead of just going with fads or trusting things because they're the “norm”. I had to pleasure of sitting down to chat with Karissa Pukas, who is a Canadian content creator and entrepreneur, and as you'll find out, she is a total badass. Karissa has built a YouTube audience of almost 750 THOUSAND subscribes, plus hundreds of thousands of more followers on Instagram and Twitter. She is also the co-owner of a vegan & handmade false eyelash company, called Social Eyes. While she initially garnered a following through beauty and fashion videos, Karissa eventually became just as known for her honest takes on young adulthood, mindfulness, wellness, and recently, she's received a lot of attention in the media for sharing her struggles with Breast Implant Illness and we're gonna cover it ALL in this episode. You'll hear me fangirling at the beginning of the interview because I have legitimately followed Karissa for like 7 YEARS, so I'm thrilled that you guys get to meet her and experience her awesomeness as well!   SHOW NOTES: http://grindandbegratefulpodcast.com FOLLOW MARIE: http://instagram.com/marieewold FOLLOW THE SHOW: http://instagram.com/grindandbegratefulpodcast KARISSA'S CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/user/saturdaynightsalrite/
