[party in my plants] 189: Regret is Worse For You Than Cheetos ❤︎ Remembering My MIL Three Years Later Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

Today marks three years since my mother in law passed away, and in her loving memory I’m re-airing this touching tale of how my heart-filled engagement overlapped with her heartbreaking death and how that serves as an ongoing reminder to live the crap out of my days and share my non-crap food even more. It’s also updated with two major life-impacting lessons I’ve carried with me daily since experiencing Nancy’s death 3 years ago; to-do’s that I hope you’ll be inspired to do, too.

[party in my plants] 187: The Sweet Fruity Truth about Blood Sugar and Eating Plants with Diabetes, with Robby and Cyrus of Mastering Diabetes Jun 25, 2020

Show notes

This is only the third time in Party In My Plants history when I’ve publicly had a threesome - I interviewed TWO guests at the same time, you silly goose! I had an incredible hour talking with Robby and Cyrus which you will hear about in un memento. And for a conversation focused on diabetes, which I initially expected to be boring AF, I surprisingly and genuinely laughed a lot and have smiled thinking about since. Something that I found really cool about both Robby and Cyrus is that they were diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and, parallel to my story, they used that low point in their life to get really curious, learn more and dedicate much or their time to healing their bodies and then helping others. Their journeys fascinated me. Not only did we get into the sciency, brainiac stuff (how many of us can ACTUALLY define insulin and explain the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?) but we also got some great plant-y eating recommendations and fun backstories on both gentlemen. But the best take-home ever: you CAN and SHOULD, even and maybe especially if diabetic or insulin resistant, eat fruit, carbs and tons and tons of mangos. Orange you excited to hear? (sorry, hard to resist.)

Press play to hear:

How a diabetes diagnosis can merely be just an inconvenience
Yes, you can eat fruit with diabetes, here’s how
How two diabetics are defining the age-old advice
Why insulin ain't your enemy
Exercise is a diabetic’s BFF, here’s why
Intermittent fasting IS all it’s cracked up to be
Why the American diet leads to American medical issues
A much needed reminder, for myself too, that like actually PLANTS (*produce*) are where it’s at
And lots more!

[party in my plants] 186: Stop. Checking. Your. Likes. (Like, For Your Health.) with Susie Moore Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

Susie Moore is an incredibly successful and genuinely glass-half-full kinda beautifully accented gal. Our chat was a necessary breath of fresh air and was chock-full of the kind of life-changing wisdom that I think PIMP listeners crave like cookies. Soul cookies. Easy to digest. Susie’s an kickass coach, writer, TV personality, and author (her latest book is called Stop Checking Your Likes: Shake Off The Need For Approval And Live An Incredible Life). As we mentioned in this talk, she has done ALLLLLL of this and more without a single college degree. That, my friend, goes to show that lack of official credentials is way less harmful than lack of confidence and self-limiting beliefs. Listen to this episode and you’ll be motivated to quit checking yo’ damn likes and use that energy to instead challenge the negative thoughts swirling around in yo’ damn brain! Here’s what my podcast assistant Sinead says is one of my strongest interviews yet.

Press play to hear:

Why it’s time to change your beliefs around the things blocking you in life
The magic of the confidence-competence loop
Why success and failure are the same things just on different points on the timeline
Your life history doesn’t have to be in the driver seat of your life today
How to stop checking your likes and caring about what other people think
Stop taking yourself seriously: we’re all gonna die one day!
Why living a life you like shouldn’t be uncommon
How to challenge the beliefs that are causing you grief
Stop blaming social media… it’s not about the app
Your worthiness is inherent and non-deletable - accept it!

[party in my plants] 185: How Healing the World Starts with Healing Yourself. This is Emotional Wellness with Brittany Piper Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

My guest today is one of my most cherished friends, Ms. Brittany Piper. You might remember her from episode 118 which I called “A LESSON IN SAYING THANKSFORGIVING US PAIN TO TURN INTO PURPOSE (AND TO TUNE US INTO WELLNESS)” -- it dropped on Thanksgiving, hence that brilliance I came up with right there. Brittany is a powerhouse speaker, an international activist, trauma specialist and a healing + wellness coach. She’s fits the bill of the most “practice what she preaches” er as she’s herself has overcome not just one, but many of the most horrific events any of us could imagine: sexual assault, eating disorders, the death of her brother and alcoholism and uses her experience to help others harness their hardships and grow through whatever trauma we go through so we can do amazing things. I’m going to cry just reading this intro.

Britt and I chatted a few weeks ago as she ate a humongous granola bowl, sitting in her closet at 36 weeks preggo! The day this airs is actually four days past her baby boy’s due date.

I planned this to be kinda a lighthearted chit chat about life being pregnant in a pandemic la la la but it quickly became a profoundly moving exploration into how to be strong and tender at the same time. I quickly shifted focus to grilling her on ways she suggested we work through trauma and thrive. Umm, hello timeliness. Thank you so much for lending me and my show your ears today and I hope this chat hits you right where you need it. As I love to say, the world is better when we’re our best, and really, we can’t care for others if we’re not caring for ourselves.

[party in my plants] 184: Cock-Blocking Joy & Quarantining on an Island (Nantucket!) with Georgie Morley May 28, 2020

Show notes

My guest today is Georgie Morley, a coffee-loving creative and photographer, the host of the Chasing Joy Podcast, and the caring human behind her platform that inspires joy and personal growth through compassion and self-discovery. She loves to share tips, tools and lessons learned all inspired by her own path towards personal growth, wellness, and spirituality. And coffee. Georgie to coffee is me to plants. She lives in my favorite place on earth, Nantucket, the 14 x 5 miles long island, exactly 30 miles out to sea off the coast of Cape Cod. You know when you’re doing a meditation and you’re told to close your eyes and envision your happy place? Mine has been Nantucket since I started going there in the womb. I love that place so much it genuinely makes me cry thinking about, which I do on a honest to god daily basis. So Georgie’s there, and I feel like her Nantucket-essence just radiates out for us all to catch glorious whifs of. We’ve known one another through the interwebs for half a decade but haven’t really deeply connected until I was on her podcast last month and now when we did this flip the mic a doodle do in one of my new fun types of episodes called LAUGH WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL.

At the time of this recording I was eating some of my matcha mint chocolate chip date balls from page 275 of my BOOK WHICH IS OUT NOW FOR YOU TO BUY, and Georgie was of course, sipping on coffee which she told me after she drank black and used a v60 or chemex to make it? No clue what that means since I don’t drink coffee even though I was a barista for a whole summer ON NANTUCKET but if you need info on college look up @georgiemorley because she is the coffee pro.

Press play to hear:

How to lean in to what’s easy for you
How to embrace your talents instead of running from success
Lessons from the pandemic
How to stop cock-blocking yourself in business and creative goals
Why self discovery will make your life so much easier
Notes on crying in the car
Self care tools and advice for depression sufferers
The deal on coffee, cafe culture and why both are so great
Why we should try to achieve goals without even telling anyone!
Some awesome things to do on Nantucket

[party in my plants] 183: A Practical Chat About The Healing Magic of Mushrooms, Cannabis & CBD with Jenny Sansouci! May 21, 2020

Show notes

Jenny Sansouci has been in this wellness game for a loooooong time. I pat myself on the back for being going planty before it was really cool in 2008, but Jenny started her own platform way back in 2006. Not that it’s a comparison game. We know Jenny now as the brains and passion behind Healthy Crush, and now the author of her new spectacular book, The Rebel’s Apothecary: A Practical Guide To The Healing Magic of Cannabis, CBD and Mushrooms, and as an amazing messenger on how to support the health of those dealing with cancer based on her experience of being right there with her father, CBD, shrooms and cannabis, research and hope in tow, as he’s battled pancreatic cancer.

Jenny wasn’t didn’t always have a crush on health. What blew my mind is how Jenny overcame issues with alcohol, party drugs and a dusk-til-dawn party lifestyle. Way back when, she was the first person to dismiss meditation and she used to show up at work hungover. (Which sounds like my own personal nightmare.) Through hard work, an obsession with information and perseverance, she changed her lifestyle and became the well-known wellness gal she is today. Unlike me, Jenny is a research fanatic and I applaud her dedication to learning directly from scientists, doctors, mycologists, herbalists, and so many incredible experts in the cannabis and mushroom fields and then sharing it all with stories, so we less research-inclined can eat it all up!

Press play to hear:

How mushrooms and CBD can help you heal
How Healthy Crush became what it is today
An incredible story on quitting drugs, alcohol and the party lifestyle
How to support a loved one through cancer treatment
The Rebel’s Apothecary: Who it’s for, why it’ll help, why it’ll change your life
The deal on supplements and why they *could* help sick loved ones

[party in my plants] 182: The “Fiber is Sexy” ‘Sode! With the Globe’s Favorite Gut Doc: Dr. B (Will Bulsiewicz) May 14, 2020

Show notes

Well, I had the poop doctor back on the show! My earlier chat with Dr. B. was such a breakout HIT that it’s about time I bring him back again. And this round two was as good - if not better - than last time. You let me know. We started off this talk by clarifying right off the bat that Dr. B is more of a tummy doctor than a butt doctor. From there, we got straight to his main point: fiber is SEXY ok? (I originally disagreed but he convinced me in the end.)

Dr. B’s new book, Fiber Fueled (which is a cousin to my book as we share the same publisher and hit bookstores within 3 weeks of each other!) will change your life and educate you on how the gut actually works. During these times when the coronavirus has the world shut down, it’s important to know that most of your immune system lives in the gut. In other words, hurt the gut, hurt your immunity! Dr. B.’s goal is to get his information out there to convert the processed food eaters to see the value of plants and start taking better care of their gut health. I think you’ll be convinced. And highly entertained. And maybe blushing if poop is not a topic you usually engage in discussion around.

Press play to hear:

Why fiber IS so sexy
Why your need to eat as many different plants as possible
Diversity, diversity, diversity! For health, health, health!
Why fiber fuelling will change yo’ life!
How your poop in the window to your gut health
The average American diet is 60% processed foods!
Why gut health is where it’s at
Did you know: Your immune system lives in the gut!

[party in my plants] 181: EFT Tapping for the Win! And for the stress-zapping with Jessica Ortner May 07, 2020

Show notes

If you’re a follower of my work (and self) and a listener of this here show, then you likely know I’ve just made a comeback after spending months in a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad slump. I was depressed, overwhelmed and swimming (like doggy paddle treading) in anxiety that, of course, as our stress does - it turned physical. Tapping, what we’re talking about today, was pivotal in me pivoting out of my overwhelm ocean, my pity pool, my hot mess hot tub….

Here’s my interview with Jessica Ortner, skeptic-turned tapping expert, bestselling author of The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss and Body Confidence, and co-creator of the massively popular and internationally celebrated Tapping Solution. It’s intentionally my first interview back in MONTHS and I hope my passion for tapping, the very thing that helped me lure myself out of the low-vibe lazy river, is palpable. Here in this chat, Jessica spills how tapping can help us with basically everything keeping us down, how tapping impacted her personally, and exactly how you, yes you, can do it right now...without your houseplants thinking you’re weird. And by right now I mean in like 50 minutes because at the end of this episode Jessica and I do a tapping meditation together which you and your clean hands can do along with us to feel better now.

In this COVID crisis, anxiety, depression and new emotions they probably need to invent words for are flying off the charts so this episode is my gift to you so you can experience just a little more ease in your everyday life.

Press play to hear:

What the heck is tapping and why did it help me so much?
Why tapping is the practice to use during corona times
Tapping vs. meditation: What’s the difference?
How tapping can help you become motivated, reduce stress, settle anxiety, cure insomnia, lose weight, love yourself and even see financial success...
