Talia Pollock is the Founder of Party in my Plants, a company based on a simple belief: being healthy doesn’t have to suck. This inspiring conversation will make you want to do more with plants – and show you that it’s not as difficult as it might seem!!

A lot of people think they have to label themselves with a certain diet, but Talia believes that we can accomplish just as much – without putting ourselves in a box – by simply incorporating more plant-based foods into our current diet. You can still eat what makes your body feel good, but learning how to include more plants is just going to make you feel better!

We’ve been taking our Care/of vitamins and we feel great! They’re a unique monthly vitamin service that focuses on honest guidance, better ingredients, and personalization. You just answer a quick questionnaire about your goals, lifestyle, and values – then they will help you pick vitamins that are good for your body.

You can get 50% off your first month of vitamins by using the code ‘SHINE’ at checkout! Get started by taking the quiz.

We Chat About:

• Talia’s awesome job MCing at GOOD fest
• How Talia started getting into plant-based eating
• Studying to be a standup comedian
• Becoming a “health nut hermit,” and unhappy
• Why a plant-based diet doesn’t have to be vegetarian
• How to deal with cravings, healthily
• Holiday healthfulness

You may have heard us mention talking to a psychic medium in the past, and today we brought him on the show! Chris Medina isn’t your average psychic. He isn’t telling you about the standard life, love, and happiness – he’s receiving information (in an incredible way) and then sharing it with you so you can take action; he helps you knock through the fear so you can do exactly what you want to do.

We’ll be hosting a live event on November 17th! We’re collaborating with the Columbus Book Project, which encapsulates everything wonderful and creative in the city of Columbus.

• Where: The Barrett in Columbus, Ohio
• When: 5:30 - 7:30 on November 17, 2017
• More info can be found on the Facebook Event

A lot of us have issues with getting out there and making new friends, or staying consistent with our friendships… but, for some reason, we don’t focus on how this affects our health and well-being. Today’s conversation with Shasta Nelson completely re-shaped how we view friendship – and it’s never seemed more important!

Shasta is an expert on friendship and the author of two books, Frientimacy and Friendships Don’t Just Happen!. She’s also the Founder of GirlfriendCircles.com, which you can think of as a gym membership for your friendships.

We picked this topic because some of our listeners wanted to hear an episode about friendship – get in touch and join The Wine & Shiners Facebook Group if there’s something YOU want to hear more about.

We Chat About:

• How we learn (or don’t) about starting and maintaining friendships
• How loneliness is like hunger
• The 3 requirements for all healthy relationships
• How you can break up with friends
• Reflecting inward so that you can be a better friend to others
• Starting big conversations that improve important friendships
• How to make new friends

Maddy Moon is a transformational life coach, retreat leader, and the host of the Mind Body Musings Podcast. We talk about the harmonization – not balance – of our feminine and masculine energies, and it’s fascinating!! Femininity and masculinity in their purest forms, which have nothing to do with being male or female, are beautiful… but sometimes we make those energies impure by bringing in our own fears, insecurities, and experiences. But Maddy gives us tips for staying harmonized and pure so that we can be more successful!

We’ve been taking our Care/of vitamins and we feel great! They’re a unique monthly vitamin service that focuses on honest guidance, better ingredients, and personalization.
