Kicking off 2025 with one of my favorite people EVER and who has greatly shaped my perspective on health, wellness, and how to navigate life's challenges with grace...

Introducing Ava Nouri - Registered Dietitian, Holistic Health Coach, and Host of The Loving Wellness podcast.

In this episode, Ava and I talk about how to navigate making new friends, keeping the old, learning to let go when a relationship no longer serves you, how to have the hard conversations, ways to be a better friend (to others & yourself) ...the list goes on.

The pleasures in life are meant to be savored...but how do we balance pure indulgence with making 'healthy' choices?

This week I had the chance to speak with Christy Goldsby, the founder of Honey Mama's, a health-conscious refrigerated truffle bar brand, to discuss the joys in indulging in our sweet tooth in a healthier way.

Tune in to learn more about the founding story of the brand, how Christy's struggles with autoimmune disease inspired her to dive deeper into how food impacts our mood, ways that indulging our sweet tooth (with a healthier alternative) can spark joy, and how Christy finds her endorphins!

This week I'm thrilled to have Mike Indursky, founder of the sustainable skincare brand Hear Me Raw, on the podcast this week to discuss lessons he's learned through leadership.

Prior to starting his own company, Mike served as the President of Bliss Spa and was formerly the Chief Marketing Officer at Burts Bees.

In this episode, Mike talks about...

• Why learning to be agile and continuously reinvent yourself will serve you well in your life
• How building a career in marketing has shaped his perspective on storytelling
• Qualities of a good leader (hint - it starts with taking care of yourself!)
• The importance of learning to trust your gut, and how to harness the strength of your intuition
• How Mike leverages optimism and a positive attitude to be a great leader
• Mike's decision to launch a company with his daughter and what's next for Hear Me Raw
• How Mike defines happiness & what brings him endorphins!

The global wellness industry was worth $6.3 trillion in 2023, and there's no doubt that this figure will continue to rise alongside the mental health crisis and loneliness epiedmic we continue to live in.

In this climate, how do we define wellness? How can we filter through the noise across media outlets? How can we develop sustainable structure around our wellness routines?

This week Hannah Margaret Allen, Executive Editor at MindBodyGreen, dives deep into the wellness landscape, sharing some hot topics she's thinking about in this industry, how MindBodyGreen editorializes content around wellness, and how she finds joy in daily life.

This week I got to chat with a dear friend, tuning in all the way from Amsterdam, Ximena Pineda! Ximena is a content strategist, brand storyteller, and most of all, deeply creative soul.

Beyond her work, she's incredibly world-traveled. From growing up in Guatemala, to moving to Europe for her studies, and since then living in 6 countries, across 3 different continents, Ximena is no stranger to adventure.

In this episode, I had the chance to dive deeper into Ximena's background, why she values speaking 5-7+ different languages, how her global footprint has shaped her perpsective on building deep, authentic relationships, and how she see's the intersection between language, identity, and connection.

Make sure to subscribe to her Substack, "The Leap Club" to stay connected with Ximena!
