INSIDE AND OUTSIDE: Nature + Pop Culture News with Jessica Murnane

Anna David is this week's guest, and the woman has done a lot. Cliffs notes here: she's a best-selling author, writer, sex and relationship expert, online-magazine creator, and podcaster. You can visit the bio on her website to learn even more. I loved my talk with Anna so much – and a big shout to Brandon for introducing us.

Anna and I discuss why the publishing industry broke her heart, the realities of putting a book out into the world, her struggles with misophonia, and why she wanted to get to the root of peoples' petty issues.

If Ben Turshen's last name seems familiar to you, you're not crazy. Not so long ago, his sister was a guest on the podcast. And I loved my talk with Ben so much, I'm about to have the whole family on. Get ready Momma Turshen, you're next.

Ben and I talk about his path from corporate lawyer to Vedic meditation teacher, how our bodies and minds are inseparable, the difference between belief systems and spiritual experiences, and the danger of making your hobby a career.

Jennifer Syder is this week's guest. She's a writer, editor, and the host of the Creating Your Own Path Podcast. This episode got a little raw and emotional, and I'm so grateful that Jennifer was willing to share what she's going through right now with the hope that it might help someone else.

In this episode, we discuss what it's like growing up with a disability, how she learned that the process of grief is different for everyone, why it's important to cut yourself some slack during difficult times, and how it's OK if sometimes you just want to go to bed.

This podcast guest has been here before. But I just can't get enough. This week, I talk (again) to Ashlae Warner of…well, a couple different brands. In the episode, Ashlae reveals the new business and brand she's been keeping secret for a year. And it's pretty exciting.

We talk about how she felt blogging wasn't a sustainable career in the long term (anymore) and what she decided to do about it, the lengthy-red-tapey process of starting her new business, why she's kept it secret, and inside scoop on the other brand that has emerged from starting her new business.

A couple of months ago, I received emails from two brands that are changing the game in the feminine-hygiene category. Both were interested in being on the podcast and both were selling the same kind of product (natural tampons). But they were doing it in such different ways, that I couldn't decide which one to interview. They were both so innovative (and looked cool, too). So I didn't choose. I interviewed both. Two interviews about tampons?! Yes.

In part two, I interview the co-founder of Cora, Molly Hayward. Molly and I discuss how she found her partner and how it wasn't who she expected, the big difference between natural and organic cotton products, landing a deal with Target after only being in business for six months, and why it's her mission to make sure that every woman on this planet has access to safe menstrual products.

SO excited about today's guest! I'm talking to model, designer, and body positivity and mental health advocate Jada Sezer.

Jada and I discuss how her beginnings studying childhood psychology fueled her current mission, the difference between creating a brand and a company, why you need the right people to surround you to thrive, why she believes the body positivity movement is only the first step in empowering women, and how we must work on policies and become disrupters in order to create real change.

I've seen Lyme disease pop up more and more in the news over the last few months – and wanted to learn more about it. The first thing I did was pick up Ally Hilfiger's book (Bite Me: How Lyme Disease Stole My Childhood, Made Me Crazy, and Almost Killed Me). The subtitle of the book really grabbed my attention. But it also made me question if this was the work of a publisher doing their job to make me want to buy the book. I wondered if Lyme disease was really that serious. It is. After reading Ally's book and talking with her, I now understand the power of this disease and how underestimated it is by so many. It can not only affect the physical body of its sufferers, but can alter their mental state, too.

Ally and I discuss why her Lyme disease went undetected for years, how she landed in a psych ward at the age of eighteen because of it, how she began to heal by incorporating a new set of tools into her life, what you can do to protect yourself from Lyme disease, and the biggest lesson she's learned from living with a chronic illness.

I really wanted to have McKel Hill of Nutrition Stripped on the podcast. But I also didn't only want to talk about her cookbook (trying to mix it up…per your requests!). So I told her that if she came on, we'd need to explore topics outside of her new book. She was super down for this and knew exactly what she wanted to talk about…burnout and stress.

In this episode, McKel and I talk about how she experienced an extreme case of burnout and what she did to recover from it, how she's incorporated mantras into her workout routine, what the heck mantras are (if you're new to them), why working out isn't always the best for your body when you're stressed, and what she's doing to stop the comparison game in her life and career.
