On today's episode of the podcast we talk with field hockey and fitness coach Meg Shea! Meg is a passionate coach who started running small group workouts when she realized how much she missed coaching after her spring season and typical summer as a college coach was canceled due to COVID. We talk about her passion with field hockey and coaching and how she inspires people to show up, be authentic, and do their best.

Today I chatted with Kalypso - spiritual advisor, psychic, mystic, and (new) business owner! We talked about her journey with her gifts, the influence of her father in pursuit of her own business, the meaning behind the name of her business, astrology signs, and more! She also gave me a 3 card tarot pull and assured me that it wasn't as bad as it looked for me... LOL.

On this episode Sara's back with a solo episode and a shinny brand new logo (thank you @karissa.createsitall)! She keeps it very real this week and shares what she means when she says "making unemployment my job". She also talks about the pros and cons of being unemployed as well as some things that inspire her on the hard days.  Send this to your unemployed friend and follow on IG @theunemploymentpodcast.

In this episode we chat with health professional, nutrition advocate, and passionate AF human Hayley about the power of eating a whole food plant based diet for the health and longevity of ourselves, our communities, and our planet. We talk about our personal journeys through vegetarian and vegan eating and learning about nutrition from our mothers. We learn more about the work Hayley has been doing for the past years in reducing disparities in opportunities for health and wellness, including continuous access to fresh, healthy foods and nutrition education specifically in low income and primarily Black and Brown neighborhoods in NYC.

Hayley's call to action today is to promote plant based eating! Even if the thought of being plant based/vegan scares you try eating less red meat and cutting back on dairy - for yourself and the environment. Your body and brain will thank you!

Welcome back to today's episode! I just want to make a disclaimer that this podcast isn't just for unemployed people! I have only had one other unemployed guest (shoutout to Dani on EP #2 we actually both got laid off on the same random Wednesday back in April but go listen to that episode to hear more about it). I made this podcast because I’m unemployed and navigating work and life while “unemployed” is stamped to my forehead. I know I enjoy chatting with guests every week to hear what they’ve been up to in quarantine and in their work to inspire myself and to hopefully inspire others during this pandemic and beyond.

BUT BACK TO ALLIE. Allie is an eating disorder recovery coach, world traveler, and "ur self love bff"! In this episode, we spend some time fangirling over Melissa Wood Health and her MWH workouts, meditations, and mindsets (click for free 7 day trial) before we focus our conversation on her journey with meditation. Spoiler alert - she HATED it at first. 

Allie also has her podcast Fears to Freedom Radio where she talks about self love, sex, boys, eating disorder recovery and more so check her out on there as well as on Instagram @actually_alexandra. 

On today’s solo episode Sara shares that she plans to never wear a bra again, no matter where this life may take her! She talks about her unemployment routine post quarantine, books she’s been enjoying, and her coming out story. At the end of this episode she shares information about the Transgender Law Center.
