Bri and I met virtually attending Podfest Expo in May, and knew nothing about each other then, but I learned quickly that she and I were meant to meet - for many reasons, but she has a soap making business, and that's a project that has been intimidating to me. She's also very smart tech-wise, and has helped me streamline some of my processes- I couldn't be more grateful for that! Bri, AKA The Clever Biotch shares secrets and recipes with us, so we can all get started and have healthier cleaning options for ourselves - listen here!

I felt like a total imposter even asking Laura Marston to be on the podcast, since I'm so new, but she is so generous, and said yes before I was even live. What a lucky person I am to have been able to have this conversation with her! Laura is so knowledgeable, and so passionate about helping her community make those changes to ditch the plastic in any way that we're able - her store, GoGo Refill, is a low-waste lifestyle mecca in South Portland, Maine - the first of its kind in Maine and New England, and also has the GoGo Van, to bring refill options to areas outside of the city (like mine!), to make it that much more accessible. The products will save you money, and you get high quality, eco-friendly home and body products that will keep plastic containers out of the trash, recycling bins and off the roads! Learn more by listening here!
Check out the awesome store at: https://www.gogorefill.com/
Follow Laura and GoGo Refill on Instagram @ https://www.instagram.com/gogorefill/ or on Facebook at GoGO Refill. If you're in the area, please go to the store - if you're in my area, visit the farmer's market and get some products from the GoGo Van!

Rebecca Lewis may look like a very unassuming Physical Therapist, but to me, she's a sustainability super star. She's trying sustainable actions, one by one, to see how she can be more mindful of her footprint on the earth, and responsible for what she uses and tends to. It started in 2021 soon after she moved into her house, and was diagnosed with Long Covid, and was bed bound for months; she needed something to feel productive. It started with a loaf of bread, and then yogurt, and knitting, etc. Rebecca teaches us that some changes can be  small or simple (cloth napkins!), and make a big impact. She also talks about courage to try new things. Listen, and hear more!

A quick intro to Amy and how the podcast came about. I want to learn new ways that I can be sustainable, and improve my skills, so I'm going to talk to different people who may do things in a new way, to see what inspires me. I think there are others out there who may be on a similar path, so maybe we can learn together? Join me and my guests, to learn new ways that we can care for the earth, and live a more sustainable lifestyle
Thanks to the folks @10Kdollarday and @Focusrite for inspiration and equipment
