"To move with empowerment and strength and to move into what we need next, we need to have compassion for ourselves...From that compassion and that space, your tools start to be built." This is Devon Loftus, founder of Moon Cycle Bakery. Through MCB, Devon is helping people reframe and find celebration in a notoriously terrible time of the month. With ingredients like cocoa, ginger, lemon, these thoughtfully made treats act to complement each phase of the cycle. 

"Being a plant-based woman warrior is answering the call of how to live with zest and spunk and vim and vigor and uncompromised health. It is not being dependent on medications or others. It is independence and power and strength and being fierce to the guidelines of eating this way, but allowing it to be a process where guidelines get wiggly now and again.” This is Jane Esselstyn - cookbook author, RN, researcher, and plant-based expert. In today's episode, we talk about CUVA, avoiding the dreaded "vegan-splaining," and how we can fuel our power as women with the whole food plant-based diet. Listen along!

"When we reward noise, we lose substance. When we force linearity, we sacrifice exploration...When we don’t have trust, we can’t take risks." This is Liz Juusola, Strategy Director at Red Antler. In today’s episode, she and I dive into the idea of energetic equity and what leading creative work through a feminist and consciousness-oriented lens looks like. 

“You need to always save 10% for yourself…10% of yourself in a relationship, 10% with your friends because we get hurt all the time. Life is not fair, the universe is unkind. So even if 90% gets broken, you still have your 10% to rebuild, to grow.” This is Cyrus Veyssi, content creator and beauty expert. In today's episode, Cyrus and I dive into the complex conversation of the influencer's place in politics, cancel culture, and how brands can foster more authentic relationships with marginalized influencers. Listen along!

"Every single day we have the choice to either opt in or opt out. You have to continuously opt in to learning, to excavating, to analyzing what you thought the world was like versus what it really is; what you believed your role was versus what it really is; what work or contributions or actions that you historically did versus the ones you have to do now."

This is Aurora Archer, founder and CEO of Bellatrix Group, and the co-host of the Opt-In Podcast. Tune in as we discuss What it truly means to opt-in, how to find the quiet, and what owning your identity looks like. Listen along!

“‘The opportunity train only comes around once.’ You have to get on the train when it comes around because if you don't, it may not come around again. That is the jumpstart that I need to follow my gut and follow the thing that I know I want to do. We are living in 2020…we don't know what could happen at any time…That urgency really makes you present." Mae Karwowski is the founder and CEO of Obviously, one of the leading influencer marketing agencies in the country. In today's episode, Mae and I discuss the future of influencer marketing, the value of the nano-influencer, gut instincts, and how Mae is staying grounded. Listen in as Mae Karwowski describes her job in crafting the future of Obviously and therefore influencer marketing as a whole. 

“Figure out your morals and values and ask yourself if you are living in alignment with them. Because if you know what matters to you, it makes making each decision really easy and clear. Whose morals and values are you living by? Are they yours?"

This is Kristen Joy, wellness and meditation coach and founder of Voluptuous Life, a company that offers empowerment coaching for women featuring energy work, nutrition, meditation. Kristen is an expert of the soul. In today's episode, we dive into the sixth sense and the potential of what we can achieve when we become totally and utterly full of ourselves. I hope you will listen along!

“Your relationship with the food is more important than any food you put into your body.” Today I interviewed Sports Psychologist, Ph.D. Candidate, and Founder of Optimize Potential, Hannah Stoyel, on all-things disordered eating. We chat about the most important relationship any of us will have in our entire lives - our relationship with our bodies and food. As young women, this relationship is sabotaged early on by the passing of intergenerational fat-phobia and the multibillion-dollar diet industry. Topics include the normalization of disordered eating, the dangers of restriction, and where the line between disordered eating and "clean" eating lies.

"Find an accepted social paradigm and then bust through it and say, 'How can we do this differently and turn it upside down?' So instead of saying, 'No we will not hire felons,' I said, 'No, we will only hire felons.'" This is Margo Walsh, the founder of MaineWorks. With a mission to provide an alternative to the exploitative day-labor default that so many previously incarcerated people fall into, Margo started the first-ever company that provides full-time work with benefits to ex-felons. In doing so, she has created a community that is rooted in hope. She has given a second chance to people who are so often stigmatized and stamped by their crimes for life.
