  • ++ episode 112: embracing mindfulness, healing your body from within, feeling your best self, the impacts of stress on gut and starting a business to help other woman feat Sam e Cutler [thefitfatale]

    I sat down with Sam e Cutler, and let me tell you, it was exactly what I needed after feeling like I’ve been on autopilot these past few months. Sam’s journey began with a personal health struggle—dealing with adult acne and other health issues. Instead of ignoring the problem, Sam took charge of her health by diving into research and becoming a certified health coach - finding solutions that worked for her as well as others. As she learned, she began sharing her story and findings with her community through blog posts, and eventually on Instagram.

    Her platform quickly grew, and Sam launched Mindfull, a powerful digital platform and app created for women who are ready to heal, thrive, and take control of their well-being. Mindfull offers weekly video-based meal plans with grocery lists, a coaching and recipe library, monthly Q&As with Sam, and a 24/7 community where women can connect, share, and support each other in their wellness journeys.

    In this episode, we dive into Sam’s health journey, the power of community, and how she’s helping women take mindful steps toward improving their health and lives. If you're ready to get off autopilot and truly invest in your well-being, this conversation is for you!

  • ++ episode 111: the call to move: growing beyond your current space

    In this episode, I’m diving deep into a huge shift I’m feeling — the universe has sent me a clear sign that it's time to move back to New York! I’ve loved living in LA since September 2021 — the glamour, wellness culture, incredible food scene, perfect weather, and vibrant people have all made it feel like home. This city has been the backdrop to my business taking off, growing faster than I ever imagined. But over the past year, something’s shifted. My spark for LA is fading, and I’m starting to realize I’m no longer growing here. It’s like the universe is telling me it’s time to go back to where it all began—NYC. It’s time to evolve, take things to the next level, and shake things up! Tune in to hear I'm thinking about navigating this big change.
