Detox & Chill

This week we’re back with Lauren Zielinski, a certified nurse-midwife and founder of New Moon Rising. New Moon Rising works in cities across the US to hold free, day-long workshops that foster discussion about reproductive health, political advocacy, natural medicine options, and community connections.

We felt really strongly that we needed to start opening the discussion around female sexual health and empowerment, and Lauren was so generous to share her wealth of knowledge.

In this episode we talk about…

-The difference between a midwife / doula / doctor;

- The difference in care you receive between these options;

- The importance of advocating for yourself at your annual checkup and how to approach the situation to get important questions answered;

- Things that are natural for women // things to avoid in our routines

We are beyond excited about this episode! AND…we have a HUGE announcement! We are doing an event in LA on June 15th ALL about these important discussions that we need to be having as women. We are on cloud nine that we are able to partner with Jess Suchan, who was our 5th episode of the podcast!

This event will be an afternoon of An afternoon featuring libido boosting treats, CBD mocktails and sinless self-care. Enjoy a live podcast recording with your hosts Meghan & Beck of the Detox and Chill Podcast and Jess Suchan of Body Bliss by Jess. Open, honest dialogue with a panel of experts discussing female sexuality, fertility, libido and the meaning of sexual confidence at any stage in life.

To everyone who was able to stop by our event at the Follain storefront in Beacon Hill, THANK YOU! For anyone who didn’t make it…good news! We have the live recording here for you to listen.

Tara is someone who we look up to SO much as we build this podcast and make decisions for growth. If you listened to the first episode featuring Tara, we covered some new and different topics in this one. We talked about…

->You gotta do the work and make the connections. Set up coffee meetings to learn more what other people do.

->It’s OK as an entrepreneur to have a safety net (a job that pays the bills, etc.) taking CALCULATED risks is what pays off big time.

-> Fundraising is getting BETTER (slowly) for women. Tara had to answer a lot of questions about having kids when she was raising money for @follain...which def wouldn’t have happened if she was a dude.

-> Follain’s own line is amazing and expanding! We loveeee the essential oils for our diffuser.

-> It’s our responsibility to figure out how to distill wellness to other non-coast areas, everyone deserves access to this information!

-> Her non-negotiable products…like the Follain hand soap that she brings with her everywhere! This was honestly a lightbulb moment…a lot of the products available to us at work aren’t clean or nontoxic.

We also had some INCREDIBLE questions, so stay tuned to hear those and Tara’s answers!

We hope you enjoyed and would love to hear what you thought.

This week we’re back with a SOLO episode about a topic that’s been on our minds a lot lately -- taking credit for, and owning successes.

We cannot believe we’ve released 50 EPISODES, and we’ll be honest…it was a little bit uncomfortable to shout it from the rooftops and give ourselves a pat on the back. That’s what inspired this episode!

For anyone out there who’s side-hustling, working and pursuing their passions, or just making it through their day, here’s your permission to celebrate it and share your successes with others. We don’t do this nearly enough (especially as women!) and it’s SO important.

With all of that being said, we’re so excited to share some next steps that are happening with the podcast. We have a third member joining our team! Steph (who initially introduced Beck and I) will be joining the D&C squad and helping us bring on more aligned brands and grow even more. We seriously couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come. We have a feeling it will be bigger and better things <3.

We are so proud and excited about this episode and are so excited to hear what you think - let’s start normalizing these conversations together. We’d love to continue this conversation in our Facebook group and on Instagram. Our Facebook group is a safe space for anyone who joins, so don’t forget to check us out there. Click here to join!

OMG, it’s EPISODE #50!!!! How crazy is that??

Today we have the founders of BusyBeauty on the pod — Jamie Steenbakkers & Michael Leahy. Alison (their marketing manager) also tagged along which made this recording a record for how many people participated!

BusyBeauty is a wonderful brand for women on the go (which makes so much sense for our listeners!). After meeting in college, Jamie and Michael set out to solve the problem of long and involved beauty routines (and also shaving your legs in a dorm room). They created a waterless shave gel first and have since expanded their line to include wipes and showerless shampoo. Jamie is a beauty protege — the next generation inventor, the eye for design, the creator and the visionary. While Michael is a hustler — an expert at supply chain optimization, growth hacker, people, and cash flow manager.

The team is based locally in Boston, and we get into some great topics like how to manage your finances starting out as an entrepreneur, their biggest struggles, and their biggest successes.

Find BusyBeauty HERE and on Instagram HERE.

This week we have an absolutely AMAZING guest on the podcast. Kelli Tennant is a former TV host for the Lakers and Dodgers. Kelli recently launched her OWN podcast, The Platform Podcast, to have critical conversations that dive deep into the harsh realities of chronic illness, the inspiring stories of entrepreneurs and the powerful women supporting women movement.

In 2007, Kelli was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune disorders, which led her to the discovery of a non-toxic, holistic lifestyle. As her own advocate for over 10 years battling countless illnesses, she has become one of the leading voices in the health and wellness community, educating women on the latest healing modalities, ways to clean up their daily routine, and how to support and empower other women.

We dive deep in this episode and chat about…

-Managing a chronic illness while working full time,

-Letting go of the “people pleasing” mindset and doing what is best for YOU,

-Being a woman in a primarily male-dominated field,

-How time off of work shaped her mindset,

-How we can best support other women in our fields.

We’ll both definitely be listening to this one back – it was that good.

Follow Kelli on Instagram here, her podcast here, and her website here.

Hi friends! We’re back at it again this week with an amazing female founder for Women’s History month, Suzie Welsh!

Suzie is a BEAST at everything she does. She holds a BSN from the University of Virginia and a Master’s Degree in Nursing for health leadership from the University of Pennsylvania. Suzie is also an adjunct professor at Villanova University's School of Nursing, and a 200 hour certified yoga instructor. We mean…COME ON!

BINTO is the culmination of Suzie’s lifelong commitment to women’s health. Working in an IVF clinic for several years, she’s seen the fertility journey for what it can be: long, frustrating, overwhelming, expensive. She’s also seen her patients bloom with renewed purpose. When you’re on that journey, it’s hard to know where to turn or whom you can trust.

Suzie believes that there’s no magical formula for getting pregnant. There’s no pill you can swallow that’ll give you a guarantee. But you can get your body as healthy as possible, and be ready if and when you get pregnant. Suzie can help you with that—and that’s why she started BINTO (which, fun fact, stands for bun in the oven!).

What inspires Suzie is that there’s hope for women and couples on this journey. Each month, BINTO sends you a box filled with everything you need. The care they put into picking these products with their team of experts is absolutely next level.

We’re so excite to share this brand with you! Find BINTO here and follow them on Instagram here.

We just announced our amazing event, April 4th, with Silver Fern and Charity Lighten. Check it out at the link HERE and sign up ASAP!
