Kate was my first podcast guest back in February and I brought her back today to talk about community in the wellness world (and so much more.) I love this conversation because Kate shares so many well articulated insights. We talk about the wellness trends we’re just not that into and why that’s totally fine. The overall theme was definitely that wellness practices are meant to be a tool, not a strict regime. The GOODfest will be in LA this coming February and I’m so excited to attend.

This week’s episode was such a pleasure to record. I was giddy with excitement to talk to Cassie owner of my favorite jewelry shop Zenned Out Jewelry. We talk less about her work journey and much more about her spiritual journey. She’s a wealth of knowledge about everything from crystals to astrology to meditation to chakras and so much more. I think we just skimmed the surface of her knowledge in this hour. This episode is rich with both useful tools and information about spiritual practices as well as enlightening stories from Cassie’s life. Enjoy!

Robyn is a guest I’ve wanted to have on the show pretty much since I started. I turned to Robyn’s blog the Real Life RD years ago when I was struggling and trying to heal my body and mind from disordered eating. She combines evidence based knowledge with empathy and wisdom to help women heal. Her work helped me realize that contrary to diet culture, eating more and moving less was actually what could help me feel better. In today’s episode we dive deep into hormones, periods, what happens when you restrict food, intuitive eating and self love. Robyn brings so much light, joy and knowledge to this conversation. I know you’ll love this episode.
