Maya French co-founded Koia, the plant-based beverage juggernaut, at the tender age of 23. With no prior experience in the Food & Beverage category, she brought the brand to 25m in annual sales and secured herself a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 List. So when she decided to step down from day-to-day operations in 2020, some were left scratching their heads… what they didn’t know was that Maya has always listened to her intuition, and thus knew she had to follow her heart - and her gut! - to achieve the next best steps for herself, personally and professionally. What has followed has been an amazing road paved with white hot stones of success, which Maya shares about on today’s episode.

Your skin is your largest organ, so if you are taking pains to know and be careful with what ingredients go IN to your body, you are missing the mark if you aren’t being careful about what ingredients go ON your body.  Many companies these days try to trick consumers by marketing toxic products as green - with misleading packaging and more. Today, we are interviewing New York based fashion stylist, beauty and lifestyle blogger, on-air style expert, and mom of two, Liz Teich. Liz calls herself an “accidental” beauty expert, as she started her career styling, but now gets as many interview and media requests for clean beauty. After a fortuitous stint styling for a major beauty brand, this mama has made it her business to KNOW what is green and clean, and what isn’t. And luckily for us, she shares what she has learned with us all!

• You want learn more about green washing.
• You want to know what clean beauty products actually work!
