I had such a great time talking with Lisa Zawrotny - she is a wealth of knowledge about productivity and more! I love her gentle way of encouraging 

Lisa is a busy person, and has learned a thing or two about productivity when she had young children and a mom with Alzheimers - she realized that she had something really valuable to offer the world. She now has a podcast, as well as he coaching. My FAVE thing that Lisa said around all of this was "Make space for what matters." in your head, and in your life. So powerful!

Wouldn't it be so great to feel free from clutter and overwhelm?
Lisa is SO accessible!

Therese (Tee) Forton Barnes also goes by The Green living Guru, because she is firm about not bringing toxins into our homes. She has been researching for years, and is finding that her mother and Grandmother were right about natural cleaners and food. 

She hosts a podcast called Green Living with Tee, where she talks to specialists about all the different ways we can remove toxins from our home, and why that's important. She very passionately states how we've all been trained to feel like we need a different cleaner for each part of our house, and how we are all just adding more chemicals, which have a lasting affect on our lives.

Tee also has a business called Tee's Organics, where she crafts toxin-free products that can be purchased. All of her links are below, but listen here for the full conversation!

This is Maine Community Solar's 2nd appearance on Grounded in Maine, and I couldn't be more thrilled!
We met Tony Napolitano in the fall when he told us about Maine Community Solar and why it's a great opportunity for Mainers, and other states where there's a Community Solar farm available to utilize - this time Tony's bringing his Business Partner/Cousin John, and they're 'debating' whether trees or seas are more worthy of a donation (hint: they're BOTH worthy!) in honor of Earth Month.
We talk about the benefits of having trees and ocean, and what we can do to protect them. We also, of course, talk about (Maine) Community Solar, why that's important, and how easy it is to sign up,  utilize renewable energy and get a discount on your electric bill (that's a win win WIN!)

Big thanks to Maine Community Solar for spending time with me, and for their constant dedication to helping people to participate in renewable energy and getting a discount on their electricity. They welcome questions about community solar any time, because education is top priority.

I stole this from Amy Dolan's Wider Tables website: "Amy Dolan is the host of The Feeding People Podcast, Founder of Sunday Supper Church, Strategic Consultant for the Chicagoland Good Food in Healthcare Initiative, and a Board Member for Pathways to Global Literacy.
Amy believes that when people gather around tables to listen, understand, learn and connect—solutions emerge and beauty unfolds."

Since I met Amy I have been obsessed with her podcast, and her Instagram feed. She has such a beautiful, curious soul and is so kind. Amy is a former Pastor who took her job very seriously, and has continued caring for her community in her Wider Tables business and Sunday Supper Church. Learn more by listening here!

Here's a favorite quote from Amy from our conversation: "the goodness of this world to me, exists around us, mutually caring for and loving each other, and figuring out how to do that day to day." How can you not love her?

Megan Gaul is the Owner of Partake Meal Planning and Wellness, and also is a weight loss coach with heart, because she doesn't say food are off limits; she knows it works, because she lost over 100 lbs 5 years ago. We talk about how her plan works, and tools she puts in place to ensure success. She talked about taking the next right action, instead of punishing ourselves for messing up.

Megan is also passionate about food waste, and uses meal planning to help be mindful of that. She says " By changing a few habits we can bring more healthy habits, and reduce our footprint on the world." She hosts a weekly meal planning session on Instagram, to show you how it works, and also offers a free meal planning guide.

We also talk about food journaling, something that I've struggled with in the past, and how to make it easier - listen here to learn all about it!

Nicholas Wasierski reached out when I sent out an SOS after my "tech" issues (cat) and had to schedule re-dos for 3 conversations, and it took me a bit to understand what his practices are - in my defense, there are so many... But when he said he was a Rite of Passage Guide, I expected it to be more of a wilderness guide - boy was I wrong, and boy am I fascinated with this now! I was so close to asking for more context (a bit of a sample session), but I thought it might be too. long for you all to listen to in one sitting. But I plan to, and you can, once you get a taste here, too!

Nicholas is also an Herbalist, and quotes Hippocrates saying "Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food." 

The 2 of these practices go together well, and serve his message that I added below - this is the message he hopes you'll leave this episode with more knowledge and curiosity of: 
Humans' connection to the natural world. 
Sustainability with how we manage our energy.

Kadin stepped in after I had a rough week technology-wise, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to see what he's up to!

Kadin is a Sophomore at Kent State University, studying Public Relations, and is hoping to represent musicians. Last summer he worked on a farm and learned a lot about the difference in eating locally grown food vs what is often found in grocery stores, and is looking forward to working there again this summer, because working with the earth is good for you.

Kadin is very passionate about being an activist, and standing up for what you believe in, and talks about how he practices sustainability in his activism for Autism and Climate Change, etc.

You can find Kadin on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083352067155
And his writing is available here: https://www.thesportscol.com/author/kadin-mcelwain/

I have so many things spinning inside my head at any given time, so I did some thinking out loud for this week's episode. 

One thing is that I'm hoping this podcast is providing value to you. Could you please get in touch and let me know what you love or don't love? If you could leave a rating or review somewhere, that would be so helpful, if other people are looking for a great podcast about sustainability-

The Menopause Panel Project is ON! I'm looking for people - women and men - to be part of the panel, and questions that you might have around menopause! Send me messages of ideas, or if you're interested in being part of this. I'm so excited to hear how different- or similar peoples' experiences are!

And lastly, I'll be moving soon, and am curious what your sustainable priorities would be in a new (to you) home? I'll plan to put solar panels on if they're not already, and heat pumps; I've got a composter, and will definitely be having a garden. What else should I be considering?? I recently learned about a company called Solar Pro, and met with them - they said you can LEASE solar panels, and have them installed at no cost; you just pay the monthly charges for a number of years. That's such a cool offer, to not have the huge investment to start out, then you can bank up your savings and pay them off--  I love that!

I also mentioned some really awesome upcoming episodes, including one with Connor Tyson (Coach Connor, from the sponsor ads), and his super great service, offering understanding of finances as a form of personal sustainability!
Thank you so much for listening! Please give feedback on any or all of these points- I love getting to know your sustainable goals and what you're up to in general!

I'm obsessed with Nicla Marinelli's business, The Runaway Italian, and Nicla's accent, her knowledge of the area, and the thought of "Secret Italy!"

Nicla grew up in Rome, but moved to the UK, and eventually back to Italy, but to the south, this time. She worked in travel for many years, and has an extensive travel blog, but left the Tour Guide gig to start the kind of travel she would feel proud to be a part of; being more mindful of what is used, and also to cater to people who prefer a different kind of tour - off the beaten path, and hands on experiences, to remember with all your senses. It sounds so fabulous to me!

Nicla goes into depth describing her business in this episode - listen in to hear all about it! You can also check out her website for more details and package information:

Wade Brill and I met in a podcasting workshop with One Stone Creative once or twice about a year ago, and have been supporting each other on Instagram since - Wade had a fun idea to interview me to talk about sustainable practices, and we agreed  then to do a podcast trade - AND we did them back to back, like real podcasters! It was so great to get to know Wade better, and to hear some of her story and what drives her, and her work and podcast fit so well into my pivot this year to learn more personal sustainability tips with her podcast Centered in the City where she talks about mindfulness and meditations and other health-minded practices to calm the nervous system in this busy world.

Wade lives in Seattle, WA, but grew up in New York City, and had a farm in her family's close connections for many years, so she has a strong connection to farm life - and she has great stories to share about it.

She talked about her passion for travel, and her conflict of trying to be more sustainable, but also the pull to travel, and I know there are others who must share those feelings. And she also brought back a European habit from a recent trip that she talks about - hear more here!

You can find Wade on her websites here https://www.wadebrill.com/
and here https://www.centeredinthecity.org/
