Today I'm diving into a solo episode providing an update on life, spirituality, and how cycle syncing (or cyclical living) has changed my life.  This solo episode of The Other Way explores how embracing your natural rhythms can be a game-changer, especially within a patriarchal society that often overlooks the unique needs of women - and the cycles of nature.

According to the British Journal of Cancer, one in two people will develop cancer at some point in their lives. In the United States, 1 in 2 women and 1 in 3 men will get cancer in their lifetime.
1... in...2...people!
When we think about longevity, living longer AND healthier is the goal. What are the science-backed ways to optimize our health and outsmart cancer? How do female hormones play a role + what to do about that? + so much more

Welcome back, community! I am really honored to bring on my next amazing guest: Sara Avant Stover. This week's episode is perfectly timed with her latest book which is NOW live, Handbook for the Heartbroken. Today we're talking about the messy stuff —heartache, health issues, money troubles—and how they shape us. 
I so deeply appreciate this powerful conversation because Sara touches on not just the pains we face but also those "second arrows" e.g. the broken dreams that follow loss, the shame that follows a fall from grace, and everything in between. These are conversations that are often not covered in our "highlight reel" focused society but these are the openhearted conversations that in my opinion, we should be having. 
Trigger warning: today we will be covering miscarriages, abortions, betrayal, bankruptcy and more.

 About Yasmin & Kaya:

Yasmin Nouri and Kaya Purohit are the vibrant co-founders of Beeya Wellness, where they fully vibe with the power of food as medicine!
In their heart-to-heart chats with other women, they discovered a major problem that affects so many of us: hormonal imbalances. They got deep into talking about the struggles with PMS, hot flashes, breast tenderness, bloating, acne, and so many other relatable topics.
Totally driven by their shared vision, they set out on a journey to find a natural, effective, affordable, and accessible solution to these super common concerns. Their own personal experiences with seed cycling lit the spark that led to creating this simple yet amazing method to support hormones and, put an end to the whole hormonal imbalance scene.

Hi everyone! Today I'm speaking with Joe Hollier, Co-Founder of Light -> a minimalistic, non-addictive smartphone alternative. 
For those of you who have known me for a while I've been on a long-time mission to become more intention with the information I'm taking in and to cultivate more focus and flow into my day. Partner that with my long-time meditation practice and over the past few years it has become obvious to me that my phone... as convenient as it is... is definitely part of a larger problem.
This year I "upgraded" to a Lightphone and started to set more serious boundaries with my phone. I noticed that on retreats/vacations/weekends when I don't have a traditional smartphone on me I feel more focused, intentional, and peaceful. On days when I am on my phone a lot I feel overwhelmed, more anxious, and "rushing" non-stop. I also found it more difficult to participate in things I loved: reading, learning, and tapping into that state of "deep focus".
Well, it turns out I'm not alone. According to recent research: 

Y'all, IDK about you but I don't feel good feeling so distracted - I want more peace and a sense of calm groundedness in my day-to-day. Enter Light - and this conversation.

About Joe:

I'm a multi-disciplinary artist and entrepreneur. I studied design at the School of Visual Arts and graduated as the valedictorian. I started a design studio & skateboard company called Five on That, working as an animator, film maker, and illustrator mostly. I was also selling and exhibiting my painting and collage work. The Smithsonian commissioned a short film called "Diary". Other clients include Nike, CNN, the Lincoln Center, Debbie Millman, Office of Paul Sahre and Sagmeister & Walsh. Print Magazine recognized me as one of the top 20 visual artists under the age of 30 in 2014. I was invited to participate in Google’s inaugural incubator in 2014, which is where I began building the Light Phone with my partner Kai. In 2016 I received the A.D.C. Young Guns award. In 2020, I was named one of Forbes 30 under 30 for consumer technology products. I love my cat, walking the bridge, reading, camping, piano and the color yellow.
