In this week's episode we talk with Austin Mullen about his passion for skydiving and how he has found not just so much freedom and joy through jumping out of airplanes but he has also found community and a sense of purpose that he had been deeply longing for. We talk about the importance of mindset and taking care of your body and prioritizing who you spend your time with and how you spend your time in order to break through dark times of isolation and depression. Austin has a history of traveling all over the world and trying new things from photography to surfing, skiing and now skydiving. His life went on hold in different ways, as many of ours did, during the pandemic and he vulnerably opens up about what it was like to feel directionless and purposeless, and how making certain changes and prioritizing his health has truly changed his life. This is a good one!

In this episode we talk with Madi Rowan about creating her dream life. A few months ago Micayla's brother was on the pod, and this week we talk to her sister-in-law about her transition from playing full time basketball most of her life to now being a full time blogger and clean beauty advocate. We talk about how Madi and Devin met in college playing basketball and how they continue sustaining their life together as a married couple who moves all over the world consistently. Madi knew when they graduated college that she wasn't going to work a "normal" job as Devin's career as a professional athlete would be taking them to new places. She has grown her lifestyle blog over the last six years and has a career which she is super passionate about in clean beauty. We talk about creating her dream life while working within the company of Beauty Counter and how much the mission means to her. Tune in to hear more about Madi's health journey and how switching to safer products as changed her life. If you love manifestation and magic, AND know the importance of working hard--this episode is for you!

Kyle Jacoby is an environmentalist and farmer in New England. In this episode his philosophical interest paired with Micayla's curiosity created a space to chat with open minds about where the concept of meaning comes from. They touch upon the power of nature and the beauty of connecting with it's "perfection" as well as the simple yet profound choice to stay curious and allow questions to lead to more questions rather than steadfast answers may just be one of the most crucial things we can do as humans today.
