Grounded in Maine

Oh boy, she might be embarrassed when I say this, but Megan is kind of like a celebrity to me, and this was a BIG deal, and so extra fun that she loves to talk about chickens and thriftiness. We met by total chance on Linkedin, commenting on a post of fellow podcaster Jeremy Enns (if you have any thought of podcasting, check him out here ) about our unknown super power, and Megan's answer got my attention, and I reached out...
Megan is the Co-Founder of One Stone Creative, a Business Podcast Production Agency, is the podcast host of The Business Podcast Blueprint Podcast, and hosts a monthly workshop, sharing valuable tips for people in all podcasting roles. The podcast and workshops are so relatable.
She also has chickens and makes things last as long as possible, and has a secret tip for the best pie crust! Interested? Listen here!

Jenny was the first person I asked to be a guest on the podcast over 2 years ago, and we've had life stuff that has just conflicted, so this moment, finally getting to sit down and talk homesteading and sustainability and record it for me was just everything.
I met Jenny through a friend on Facebook and I just instantly loved her. I first went to her house to pick up a couple of gourd birdhouses from her, and her chickens at the time ran up to my car to greet me. The first time I actually met her, she showed me her beautiful place, with some furniture she had just thrifted and was fixing up - she's always got big projects under way - and we talked for a long time (she also has a NY accent that just makes you feel embraced). She is just full of smart tips to make life enjoyable. I'm going to have her back to go over the list of 23 Frugal Tips list, because she said she learned every one of them as a child!

Jenny also has a tiny house on her property that was just featured on a Tiny House show, and is trying out renting it this year - learn about it, and her, when you listen!

Have you heard of Sustainable Interior Design? I think I had heard the phrase, but in my head I assumed it meant buying expensive, really well made products. While that is probably an option, it's not possible for everyone, and isn't the only way to look at Interior Design.
Enter Elizabeth Byler, Founder of Eden Environments, who wants to serve those who want to just be really mindful of what they're buying and using, and making it more sustainable personally. This was an eye opener for me, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it! And the story of how they got to this point was completely inspiring. Please listen to the episode to learn more - they can say it better than I can!
Elizabeth has a bunch of links to be reached at - they do virtual assessments, too!

I met Katharina in a Facebook group for podcast guests and podcast hosts, and I did not expect this conversation from our initial messages. I am in awe of Katharina Hellman's passion for sustainability, and the way she is offering coaching! Have you heard of Climate Change Coaching? Me either! There's a very small group of people training to provide this really important work right now, and I'm so glad that we connected, so that I'm aware of it! Listen to the episode with Katharina to learn about Climate Change Coaching, and why it's important!

Asia Sharif-Clark is a beautiful soul with so much sparkle - you'll see - I think sparkly fits perfectly! Asia has worked in many capacities in her time, and learned so much - including the benefit of having something grow in your space... Now her focus is teaching people about those benefits, and to make it easy enough to become a reality. She's passionate about finding a place to grow something, whether it be a small garden, a container garden, and having fresh produce to eat - I may have taken her on a little tangent about schools... She's offering a kitchen herb garden workshop coming up on March 18 on Zoom - I took her February workshop, and now I have little cilantro babies growing beside my desk, and tiny little oregano and basil, too! Listen to the episode to get all the deets!
Asia is just such a wealth of life experience and knowledge, and I can't wait for another chance to hang out with her. I highly recommend following Asia on Instagram, for a feed full of green!

Crystal McIntyre and I met not too long ago on Instagram - I had noticed a calendar of hers on the website of a store in Squamish, BC. When I asked about it, I was directed to her Instagram, and the rest is about as you might expect. But then I learned about Human Design. And Spirit Bears. And sustainable book publishing. Are you thinking "what's Human Design?" I was, too. I thought I had an idea what Spirit Bears were, but no.  Crystal taught me so much that I had never even heard of - learn with me by listening here! Or watch on YouTube(you can see her adorable cat Winnie!)

Crystal is author and illustrator of the children's book Bear Extraordinaire, and has illustrated 2 other books. Check out her stunning artwork here!

This episode with Carmen was so beautiful, and a little long (we were totally geeking out about our love for dogs), so I opted to cut it a little short, to save some money. If you want to geek out with us, I'll be posting the FULL video interview on my new YouTube page ! Carmen was so easy to talk with, and has so much to share - I couldn't bare to not share such wisdom in one form or another.
Carmen is an author of now 11 books, and Created her own publishing company, Wag Away Publishing! Her most recent book is titled I Chose You: Imperfectly Perfect Rescue Dogs and Their Humans. it's the first of a series of 3 books about rescue dogs! We talked about how we could incorporate rescuing dogs into the sustainability subject, and decided it's totally legit. She also had some fun surprise sustainability surprises for me - listen to hear more!

Publishing episode 30 last week felt like a really big number, so I felt called to recap a bit, and ask for some feedback (and I was on vacation and dropped the ball on recording). What a trip this has been! I've had some really wonderful conversations about sustainability!
Has there been an episode of Grounded in Maine that you loved? Hated? I'd love to know if I'm creating content that you love or not, so I can keep your listening ears! You know who else would love to hear if you loved a conversation? My podcast guests!! I've listed their contact info in my show notes each week - except for two, they're all very social, and I bet it would make their day if you sent them a message, or gave a follow - if you're uncomfortable doing that, you could just let me know(it would make my day, too). I've seen a few friends that have followed a couple of people, and if you could see the smile I feel when I see that... 
Do YOU have something you'd like to share?? I'd love to chat sustainability with you!
Thank you for listening each week!
