Seeking Sustainability

In this episode, I conversed with the co-founder of United By Blue, Mike Cangi, to discuss the story, mission, and progress of this incredible company. Topics include everything from conscious capitalism, removing plastics from the supply chain, to cleaning waterways.

"What can I do, if I'm just one person?" is a question that many of us have probably pondered over, maybe even feeling a bit powerless in the face of the world's huge and daunting issues. In this episode, I discuss (more like rant into my microphone) about how fear has often been paralyzing and prevented us from taking action to help the Earth.

2021 is finally here! Let's all take a deep sigh of relief- and gratitude- that we are in a new year. With that said, let us not forget the work that still needs to be done; this year is absolutely crucial to making this planet a better, cleaner, safer place. Join me as I chat with Kevin J. Patel, founder of OneUpAction, "an intersectional youth-led organization working to provide resources to youth advocates." Let's all take a page from Kevin's book, and work hard this year to make the world a better place.

Well folks, it's been a while since I've posted an episode, but I'm realizing (just now, as I'm typing this) that this is my TENTH episode! Woohoo! As always, I hope you enjoy this conversation, and make sure to check out (and buy!) some of TERRA-TORY's products (seriously, they're the prettiest soaps I've ever owned). I hope this conversation and Kimberly's story inspire you to embark on your own creative endeavors and use the ups and downs in your life to guide you to whatever you were destined to create (for Kimberly, it was soap. For me, well.... I'm figuring that out).

If anyone else has baked multiple loaves of bread in the last couple of days to cope with their election anxiety. . . . yeah, me too. But alas, I am here with yet another distraction that can take your mind away from the election- a new podcast episode with Sam Hartsock from Remake! Based in San Francisco, Remake is an organization whose mission is to put an end to fast fashion.

It's almost election day, folks- so, just as a reminder, please go out and vote! This episode features Danielle Elsener, a fashion designer whose work is centered around zero-waste design. Strategic, intelligent, and forward-thinking, Danielle is an incredible designer, and her work is undeniably innovative. I hope her work, in addition to this conversation, inspires you to rethink the way that you design.

If anyone else felt emotionally hungover from watching last night's Presidential (if you can even call it that) Debate, you're not alone. My friend Ayia and I sat down to talk about the utterly confusing catastrophe that was last night's debate and discuss some key moments that really stuck with us. Ah, but fear not! We also conversed about ways in which you can practice self-care while trying to emotionally navigate these stressful times. This episode is more of a (very) casual conversation rather than an interview, so it's a different style/format, but hopefully still equally as informative and entertaining nonetheless. Enjoy!
