Today we are chatting with my girl, my internet friend, Maria also known by her social media handles as @livingplanetfriendly! 

Maria is a Western New York-based content creator and imperfect environmentalist who is passionate about the protection of our planet, sustainability, climate justice, and low-impact living.

Maria is a queen at content creation and shares all things from education on the climate crisis to influencing others to be conscious of their actions that impact the planet. She’s been doing this for a long time and recently got married!! So I felt like there is no better person to talk to about living sustainably when you live with other people! So whether that is your spouse, partner, family, or roommates we are talking about how to still live low waste when there are other people around who might not want to be fully zero waste.

Today we are chatting all things health with our very FIRST podcast guest, Jackie Daniel! Jackie Daniel is one of my closest friends and while she works in marketing for an environmental start-up, her biggest passion is discussing the truths behind the health and wellness industry and how changing your mindset around living a healthier lifestyle can benefit you in the long run. I always walk away from our conversations so amazed and motived, so I hope you feel the same! And remember, finding a sustainable health routine should be about returning to your life, NOT restricting your life further.

Kate is the founder of Dip Sustainable Hair Care which aims to playfully educate people about the environment while encouraging people to buy better, buy less, and shop small. She has been featured in Allure, Cosmopolitan Magazine, BYRDIE & in 2020 she was named a “Woman Of Courage” in Insigniam Quarterly’s issue celebrating female leaders who “think big, confront challenges head-on and never, ever take the well-worn path”. When she isn’t behind the scenes branding you can find her trail running, skiing or surfing (terribly!) and leading a genuinely eco-conscious life to help protect Earth’s natural playgrounds for future generations.

Kate fights the urge to change her hair regularly and has experienced many hair dramas & triumphs first hand.  This doesn't make her an expert on anything, except knowing that a good hair day can make a huge difference.

🎙IN THIS EPISODE

* Kate’s introduction & her journey with sustainability

* Out of all of the hair care options, how did Kate know haircare was the right path?

* Was there much difficulty in creating a product that is not only top of the line in its industry, but also holds such high environmental standards?

* Thoughts on the shift in the influencer and UGC creator space.

* Disinformation in the fragrances and clean beauty space

* Advice for someone who is interested in a similar sustainable business career path

Today we are chatting about the relationship between the wellness and sustainability online space as well as advice on how you can avoid the toxic trends while keeping the good ones. Our guest today is Brennan Kai who is a sustainability content creator & with a focus on food waste reduction. You may know her from her viral series “Eating Garbage” where she takes common items you would throw away and makes something delicious. While her main topic surrounds food waste, today we are talking about something a little different. Our topic is focused on the overlap between wellness and sustainability spaces online and how it can become toxic. In this episode we answer questions like what is the relationship between wellness and sustainability, how we view the term “crunchy”, & how can you avoid toxic trends but keep the good advice.
