  • Episode #5- Dr. Chantal Lunderville

    Dr Lunderville is a board certified physician, womens health specialist, and medical director for several aesthetic medical spas and holistic practices. She attended UCLA and UCSF for her medical training. Initially Dr Lunderville started with a fellowship at UCSF in womens health focusing on reproductive justice and health care, she also has her masters in health policy, but left due to feeling burnt out and disillusioned with academic medicine. She saw how the modern healthcare system wasn't serving women in a rich and whole way to support wellness and balance, as well as herself feeling a lack a health and experiencing depression. She began injecting botox and filler as a concierge practice in the Bay Area and has grown over the past 5 years to exclusively overseeing nurse partners, trainings, and fostering women business owners through online courses, retreats and conferences. Her passion is helping her nurse partners grow push through self doubt, take risks, and step into roles as leaders and entrepreneurs.

  • Episode 1- Zoe Schroeder Nutrition

    Zoe has always had an interest in fitness, but after struggling with her own weight gain (and subsequent weight loss attempts, different diets, sketchy "fat burning" supplements, and strict meal plans) in college, she switched her major to nutrition and loved the process of applying what she was learning in her classes about nutritional sciences, the human body, and why we need what we do , she applied the principles to herself, as a sort of practical application case study. That is truly where Zoe's passion for nutrition and fueling the body stemmed from. Fast forward a few years after becoming and working as a Registered Dietitian in several different areas (in-patient clinical, out-patient for hospitals, contracted with the Air Force, and one-on-one nutrition counseling for weight loss), Zoe decided to start her business to help other women do the exact same thing she was able to do: lose fat and keep it off in a healthy and sustainable way. Zoe counts herself as blessed to have the platform and opportunity to help so many clients reach their goals without extreme dieting, giving up their favorite foods, or endless cardio.

  • Episode 28- Michelle DeWolf Health Coach

    I have been health coaching since 2017 and have an 80% success rate of my clients meeting or exceeding their goals. Health coaching was born out of my culinary school to answer the questions my culinary clients had always been asking. I started on a Master's program to become a Registered Dietitian and found myself in a hospital setting right away working on low-sodium diets for a sick population. While I know this is valuable work to be sure, I really wanted to work with people long before they found themselves in a hospital. This is where things pivoted to Health Coaching. This is the job I saw myself doing. Back in 2017, it was not a movement yet. Today my practice is about keeping it real in this saturated health & wellness world we find ourselves in. I empower people to make dis-ease less welcome in their bodies. Making lifestyle changes and using food as medicine to correct our habits when we get off track. Together we build a full toolbox to draw from for our own self-care, nutrition, and well-being no matter what life throws at us.

  • Episode 26- Row House

    Row House is a national boutique fitness franchise. We deliver instructor-lead rowing-based group fitness classes. What makes rowing so special at Row House is that we are able to deliver high-energy music-driven group classes that combine rowing intervals with floor-based strength exercises for all fitness levels so there is always a place for you in our boat. We feed off of each other’s energy and pull together to push to new levels.

    The Row House concept began in NYC in 2014 by our amazing founders Debra & Eric who had a vision for revolutionizing the way people view indoor rowing and designing a workout that people of all different fitness levels could benefit from together.

    I was fortunate enough to come across Row House in my search to open a boutique fitness franchise. I purchased 3 licenses and opened the first Row House in Northern California in Belmont in 2018. I now own two Row House studios in the bay area with my other location in Santa Clara.

  • Episode 24- Lunaescent

    Raana had a very non-linear life! As a child, she constantly moved between two continents. She experienced a revolution and a brutal war. She started multiple businesses, designed clothes, modeled, went to law school, worked as an attorney, and eventually started her own law practice. She is a mother of two teenagers and a wife. She cares about the environment and women/human rights. She loves smart design and architecture. She believes that small decisions can lead to big changes.

    Raana has always been a problem solver and inventor. As a preteen, shehad a notebook where she would draw and describe her latest inventions. It was called "My Book of Inventions." When her son was diagnosed with eczema and she could not find a suitable applicator to apply his steroid medication, her inner inventor kicked into action. She needed to know exactly how much medicine she was putting on his skin. However, using her fingers for application made it impossible to measure how much was getting absorbed by her fingers and how much medicine he was receiving. To make matters worse, the steroidal cream caused dermatitis on her own fingers which made everyday tasks painful. At the same time, she was frustrated by how inefficient her fingers were for applying the skincare products (especially oils and serums) and how much product was being wasted. These two personal needs, plus hearing similar stories from others, are what led to LUNAESCENT. After several redesigns, LUNAESCENT is now a multipurpose and versatile tool that is ideal for effective and hygienic application of skincare, as well massaging, depuffing, and more.
