Season 2 Episode 43  This week, we welcome the beautiful soul and brilliant entrepreneur, Leah Kirpalani. Leah is an innovative leader in the clean beauty and wellness space, a voice for the small beauty maker, and an all around impactful leader. As the Founder & President of Shop Good, a one-of-a-kind clean beauty shop and organic spa, her mission is to curate a safe haven and educational forum filled to the brim with the best non-toxic makeup, skin and body care. In this episode, Leah offers us a backstage pass and reveals her resilient and compassionate approach to business. Starting with her own health journey, she weaves us through her expansive story. From an impassioned young entrepreneur to motherhood to running a sizable team with care to navigating the waves of COVID as a Sensitive, her courage is obvious, her tenderness palatable, and her fortitude inspiring. You will leave this episode feeling incredibly empowered! Topics Discussed: Leah's professional and personal journey ultimately landing in the wellness and clean beauty space. [00:05:18] Running a business and leading a team through unexpected hurdles. [00:20:40] Trusting your body's innate ability and desire to bring you back to health and restoration. [00:30:00] Leah's personal mantra. [00:39:00] Quotes: “The body and energy that we have is the most powerful tool in medicine that we have access to.” - Leah Kirpalani “I went through decades of trying everything only to realize everything I need to heal is in my own body. It's ironic because most of us would rather pay thousands of dollars on specialists than to sit in our pain and look within.” - Jessi Michel Agadoni “The intention for Shop Good was to create the space that I wished I had when I was sick. A space where I could walk in and not have to turn over every single label. I could feel safe and calm and taken care of. I could look across the counter to someone and say, I'm struggling and for that person to say, I hear you, I see you and we've got you. That's what Shop Good is.” - Leah Kirpalani Links Mentioned: Botnia by Justine at Shop Good Connect with Leah: Shop Good Shop Good Spa Shop Good on Instagram Shop Good on TikTok Episode Transcript Here Book a 1:1 Sensitive Session with Sensitive Guide Jessi Michel Agadoni.

I found Leah after I purchased some items on her online store SHOP GOOD. Her story of getting sick and finding comfort in the newly blossoming clean living and holistic healing space made me want to have her as a guest to discuss how it all matters (not just what you eat). I learned so much and completely cleaned out most of my makeup and low quality skincare after this! Also, I asked Leah for a discount... in case you wanted to buy anything from her store (You know I LOVE a deal) and she gave me SABRINA10 for 10% off... SHOP GOODFind Shop Good on Insta HERE.Happy Listening! 

Episode 28 features founder of Shop Good, Leah Kirpalani! Inspired by her 8-year health journey and following a career in retail merchandising, Leah Kirpalani created Shop Good in 2017 as the wellness hub she wished existed during her path to healing. Now, with boutiques and spas in North Park and Del Mar, Shop Good offers a curated mix of non-toxic skincare and wellness products and customized organic spa services.

In this episode, Murphy sits down with his wife, Jennifer, to talk about the costs associated with Foster care. To be totally honest, Fostering a child is not something Murphy thought he'd be doing...in-part, due to all of his financial goals. However, after getting some experience in the process and actually receiving a child to care for Murphy was surprised at the cost..... because it was so minimal! This episode is for anyone interested in learning more about foster care or how you can help support foster parents even if you don't have the bandwidth or space for a foster child at this time!

In episode 107, Kestrel welcomes Leah Kirpalani, a certified holistic health coach & the founder of Shop Good, to the show. An online platform as well as freestanding store in San Diego, Shop Good offers clean beauty products for the ultimate healthy lifestyle. "We absorb 65% of what we put on our body."  -Leah Kirpalani, founder of Shop Good In this episode, Leah shares stories from her past experiences with a chronic illness that led her into exploring holistic health and natural beauty products. She reminds us that everyone has a distinct body, and there's not one solution that will work well for us all.  Leah also shares some of her favorite wellness hacks - ways to bring mindfulness into your daily routine without having to add more things to your to-do list. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: Leah's Basic Framework For A Healthy Lifestyle: 1) Simplify 2) Get Sleep 3) Drink A Ton Of Water 4) Move Your Body 5) Be Mindful About What Your Body Needs 6) What We Put In And On Our Body Matters "There's over 20,000 chemicals introduced into our food systems annually these days ... and we as women are placing up to 500 chemicals on our bodies during our beauty routines." "We absorb 65% of what we put on our body." Wellness Hacks (shortcuts, tips + tricks to integrate into our lives) One that Leah loves: Keep eucalyptus oil in the shower: put a few drops in your hands, place them around you nose/mouth, and take 5 deep belly breaths. Shop Good's Foundational Skincare Line: Botnia (the founder is based in Sausalito and grows almost 75% of all of the ingredients in the products in her own backyard) Some of Leah's favorite makeup products: TMF (Leah's favorite lipstick) Alima Pure Satin Matte Foundation Lily Lolo Mascara Toners: use right after cleansing - they help rebalance the pH in our skin Suggested Product From The Intro "Botnia is where it's at. When I first started using 4 of their products (daily face wash, fix zit face mask, toner & hydrating serum), I was skeptical, because my skin was in such a bad spot. But, these babies work, and I've been beyond pleasantly surprised with the results." -Kestrel's insight after using Botnia in her skincare routine for the last month.
