High On Feminism

Where Are They Now?! 

We're catching up with past season guests in the heart of Barcelona for a little in-between-seasons break, and our first return guest is none other than Season 3 alum, Melissa Alam, Founder of ALAM Digital.

Originally based in Mexico City by way of Philly during her first visit to the HOF mics, Melissa has since made her way to Cairo, Egypt in search of the soft life. From making new friends and navigating the Cairo dating scene to adjusting to a more halal lifestyle, Melissa continues to expand her digital marketing agency abroad, while keeping travel and culture at the heart of everything she does. Whether you're a longtime HOF listener or joining us for the first time, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes the most exciting chapters in life are the ones we never saw coming. 

Take a listen to Melissa's first HOF episode as well - Season 3, Episode 8 - where she talks pivoting from corporate agency life into freelance entrepreneurship and how that leap opened the door to both personal and professional discovery. Listen HERE.

Collaboration, not competition. This is a philosophy that sits at the heart of Juno House, and at the center of Natalie Batlle’s founder journey.

Joining Jess for the final episode of High On Feminism Season 5, Natalie, Founder and Brand Strategist of Juno House, shares the story behind creating Barcelona’s first members club designed by and for women. An idea that was sparked following her move from the U.S. to Spain and her decision to step away from the corporate world, Natalie has slowly helped crack the code for redefining work-life balance. Natalie challenges the notion that women must choose between their personal fulfillment or professional/creative ambition, and she’s built a space that empowers other women entrepreneurs to do the same through Juno House.

As a fellow ex-pat, Natalie reflects on the cultural differences for women founders in Europe vs. the states, and how Juno House blends this “New York-meets-Barcelona” energy. Sharing insight on her goals for 2026, both personally and professionally, that includes stepping more into her creativity where she feels the most energized, and expanding upon Juno House’s offerings to become the global movement she’s always intended, HOF ends the season but kicks off the New Year with an episode full of intention, promise, and reinvention.

Leaving corporate life to build something slower, more intentional, and deeply needed is no small leap, but for Kornelia it was the right one.

Joining Jess for another episode of High On Feminism, Kornelia Grönvall, Founder of Solia Retreats, shares how stepping away from a career in sales, management, and leadership led her to create Solia Retreats in 2025; an idea that began as a small hobby and quickly grew into a source of energy, inspiration, and community. Designed for ambitious women who want to work hard without burning out, Solia’s one-day retreats offer space to pause, reconnect, and reset.

Kornelia reflects on hosting her first retreats, including a December experience centered on self-love, grounding, and intention-setting for 2026, complete with yoga flows and journaling. She also opens up about what’s ahead: new retreats focused on kick starting the year, women’s health, and moving through ambition mindfully. Looking ahead to 2026, Kornelia is focused on growth with intention, learning to say no to what isn’t aligned, creating space for what feels right, and continuing to build Solia Retreats with care.

Stepping out of the darkroom and behind the mic can be a daunting experience, but for Award-winning photographer Mariana Arrieta, the transition comes naturally! 

Joining Jess for Episode 6 of High On Feminism, Mariana talks her Basque and Mexican roots, and how she weaves memory, culture, and emotion into every frame of her photographs. From Tanzania, France, Cuba, Mexico, Italy, the US, and more, Mariana shares how film has long been a way to understand the world, preserve the past, and stay connected to her roots. From her father and grandfather’s love of the craft, to learning the way a roll of film can reveal hidden truths, Mariana opens up about archiving her family’s history and the deeper meaning behind every image she captures.

Bonjour from Barcelona!

We're back with another amazing episode focused on blending humor, healing and hard truths. 

French native, filmmaker, scriptwriter and founder, Anne-Cécile Ville, joins High On Feminism to chat her new media & film company, BF Media Lounge, everyone's friendly neighborhood eggplant, Boris, and the importance of rewriting your narrative. 

A year into her Juno House journey, Anne-Cécile shares how years of burnout, self-doubt, and grief led her to reclaim storytelling as a tool for transformation. From her new book Reboot Your Story (2025) to the making of her first film The Penis Conundrum (2026), Anne-Cécile is challenging outdated narratives and rewriting her own through comedy, community, and compassion. From discovering that there is such a thing as positive masculinity (cue Boris), to breaking down internalized misogyny, and the importance of choosing joy, not just survival, Anne-Cécile and Jess teach us that it's never too late to reimagine your worth.

In Episode 3 of High On Feminism Season 5, Jess sits down with Ani Linares, founder of Yaksok, for a bilingual episode rooted in language, culture, skincare, and identity.

The two dive into how skincare rituals differ across cultures, why traveling opens up the mind in unexpected ways, and how speaking someone’s language, literally or metaphorically, is a radical act of connection. From sunscreen lessons passed down by her mother to product development rooted in Korean skincare rituals, Ani opens up about breaking into the beauty market, and creating space for Latinas and women of color in global beauty.

After an extended smoke break, High Talks is back!

Bringing to the forefront conversations around cannabis, and led by women in the industry, High Talks host and HOF creator Jess Poulin sits down with three powerhouse women leading the charge in cannabis wellness: Leah Heise, Sara Payan, and Laura “Nurse Laura” Barrett. With deep experience spanning regulatory law, patient advocacy, and cannabis education, these industry experts explore the growing need for evidence-based information in cannabis spaces. Discussing the lack of consumer education in dispensaries, the importance of terpene-based shopping over just focusing on THC percentages, and how informed choices can drive both customer wellness and business success, Poulin continues her commitment to supporting womxn in cannabis and destigmatizing the plant among female consumers.

Touching on broader systemic issues, including the medical industry’s ongoing exclusion of cannabis as a legitimate tool for pain management, and when it’s appropriate to start cannabis education for youth within a harm-reduction framework, Episode 6 of High Talks "Creating A Safe Space For Education in Cannabis," is a must-listen for anyone invested in cannabis as a tool for wellness, education, and change.

The High Talks panel series is a part of the High On Feminism (HOF) brand and podcast, focused on women entrepreneurs and creating a safe space for women to learn about and consume the cannabis plant. For more HOF content, & even merch, visit highonfeminism.com.
