Curated Conversations Podcast

We all know that life seems to get busier and busier and while we all want to eat well (and hell, know how to eat well), we sometimes can't make the connection of knowing to actually doing. This is where Gillean Barkyoumb comes in to help (or really, save) the day! A registered dietician, Gillean specializes in making nutrition simple and convenient for the millennial woman. Toss in being a media dietician, brand representative, and working with clients directly through a variety of programs and offerings, Gillean is also making huge strides towards that elusive work-life balance as an entrepreneur. We love her approach to being a small business owner, taking that huge leap of faith after leaving her corporate job, and moving more and more towards what feels spiritually and energetically aligned in her journey.

Tune in if you want to learn about;

1. What it feels like to be more spiritually aligned with what you are doing in your business.

2. How to answer any question by asking if it's a "hell yes". If it's not, it's a hell no.

3. How to see the blessings and silver linings of the pandemic - and of course, if you want to learn more about her programs that she offers!

In the last few years, the cannabis industry has taken off (obviously!), and Marley Colt and the office she works within Ogden, Utah has been at the forefront of medically treating patients with Cannabis who suffer from long-term chronic pain issues or other ailments. Cannabis isn’t new for them and now they want to normalize the conversation. Not only that, but they also want an entirely fresh conversation to take place regarding how we look at the plant and treat it with respect for what it can do for us. In addition to trying to educate patients on the benefit of Cannabis, Marley and her team are really working so that all of us can have open conversations about Cannabis and our experiences using it, not using it, fears, concerns, or questions. They are asking insightful questions to push us to think about this industry in a brand new way. For example, for those who might have had one bad experience, think about how you might try 10 different prescription drugs to help you with your health, so why not try 10 different Cannabis strands until you find the one that works the best? We are here for this refreshing conversation!

Join us on this podcast if you want to learn more about:
1. The transition of the Cannabis industry over the last 10 years.
2. Why you should give Cannabis a chance, even if you have had a bad experience in the past.
3. How Cannabis can help you manage your pain and improve your life.

Exciting news! This is the first episode in our "Beauty Business" series, where we dive into conversation with experts in the beauty industry. Today we are chatting with Leah Fitts, who has been in this world, a la hair, for over 200 years, according to her!

2. The varying roles of entrepreneurship - you really do run a one-person show sometimes!
