  • The toxin talk we should be having and an approach to low-tox beyond your IG feed with Lara Adler
    Dec 5 2025

    Welcome back to the show. Today, we're diving into a topic that has become increasingly noisy online: environmental chemicals, toxicity, and what it truly means to support our long-term health.

    To help ground this conversation in evidence and context rather than fear and marketing, I'm joined by Lara Adler, an environmental health educator and advocate who has spent the last 14 years deep in the research behind environmental exposures and public health.

    In this episode, we unpack the widening gap between individualized "wellness culture" and the larger systemic issues — like air and water quality — that have the biggest impact on communities across the country. We discuss why certain health narratives online have "lost the plot," how privilege shapes access to wellness solutions, and what practical, meaningful actions each of us can take at home without falling into anxiety or perfectionism.

    This conversation brings nuance back into a space that desperately needs it — and I think you'll leave feeling informed, empowered, and focused on what truly matters.

  • Staying healthy, happy and sane this holiday season + giving the best gifts
    Nov 26 2025

    In this pre-Thanksgiving episode, I'm sharing the habits, mindset shifts, and grounding practices that help me not just survive the holidays—but actually enjoy them. This time of year can feel magical and stressful all at once, so I'm walking you through the tools I use to stay calm, present, and connected, even when life feels chaotic.

    I'm also diving into intentional gifting: how I'm approaching Black Friday with more mindfulness, how I choose meaningful gifts without getting swept into the overwhelm, and the little luxuries, hostess gifts, men's gifts, and friend-gifts I'm loving this season. I'm also sharing the charities closest to my heart and how I'm thinking about giving beyond my own circle this year.

    Whether you're hosting, traveling, cooking, or curled up on the couch, I hope this episode helps you feel grounded, supported, and inspired as we head into the holiday marathon together.

  • Unlocking your strengths, aligning your career with your purpose, and finding your flow with Tianna Soto
    Nov 21 2025

    If you've ever felt burnt out, confused about your next step, or pressure to be "everything to everyone," this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.

    In this conversation, I sat down with Tianna Soto. Tianna is a keynote speaker and mental health educator known for making wellness feel human, hopeful, and actionable. With a Master's in psychology from Columbia, experience as a Women's Health journalist, and certifications in yoga, reiki, and somatic anxiety coaching, she bridges science and soul to help people manage stress and rebuild resilience.

    During our conversation we explore what it really means to live in alignment with your strengths, navigate burnout with compassion, and allow your life path to unfold in nonlinear and unexpected ways.

    We talk about the power of positive psychology, how to shift out of "fixing" yourself and into understanding yourself, and why embracing your multi-passionate nature might be the exact thing that unlocks more joy, confidence, and clarity.

    Tianna also opens up about her winding career path — from psychology to media to becoming a full-time speaker — and how following sparks of curiosity (even when they didn't make logical sense at the time) led her exactly where she's meant to be.

    What We Talk About
    • How positive psychology differs from toxic positivity
    • Why focusing on strengths builds confidence and resilience
    • Navigating a nonlinear career path with trust instead of fear
    • The mindset shift from FOMO → JOMO (joy of missing out)
    • Stress cycles, burnout, and how the body signals overwhelm
    • The vagus nerve connection and what to know about stress physiology
    • How to evaluate your current "season" of life — lifestyle, energy, values
    • What it really means to live well (hint: it's simpler than you think)
