Lara's thoughts on food and mindfulness following her interview with Meg Trainer of Bounty Kitchen. Plus, specific tools you can use to begin tuning into your own body – so you always know how and what to eat!

Meg Trainer is the founder and co-owner of Bounty Kitchen, a restaurant in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle that celebrates the local bounty of the Pacific Northwest region. While working at restaurants to pay her way through college, Meg discovered a passion for the food and beverage industry.

Meg and I talk about her journey as a restauranteur and busy entrepreneur struggling to prioritize her health and wellbeing while growing a thriving business and community.

As the Beauty Director of Town & Country magazine, Jamie Rosen is part of a dramatic shift at the 170-year-old title. While the hottest new lipstick and beauty serum are still part of the conversation, the content that Jamie creates and oversees strongly links beauty with health and wellness.

Jamie and I talk about why “ingestible beauty” and “anti-aging” are creating buzz in the beauty industry, and how Jamie keeps self-care front and center as a busy working mom in New York City.

Whether because she lives in Denmark – where cycling is a way of life – or because she’s an avid cyclist herself, Dr. Vivian Lord shares a powerful analogy between riding a bike and self-care. And riding this particular bike just might change the way you approach your health.

Vivian and I also talk about the importance of understanding your body as your hormones shift in midlife, and why addressing stress now has a big payoff later (ie, during menopause).

Lara gives listeners a preview of her season 2 guests and discusses what being a 'woman on the rise' means to her.
