[party in my plants] 158: Now You’ll Know Your CBD’s…with Plant People founder Gabe Kennedy Sep 06, 2019

Show notes

Gabe Kennedy is as cool as a… bottle of CBD oil. He’s also a plant-chef, nature guy, remarkable analogy creator, and the brains and soul behind Plant People, a company that’s spreading the word about the power plants can have on the wellness of not just individuals, but a whole society. Sure, Plant People is one of the billion brands boasting the brilliance of CBD these days but his mission his to not just be a CBD company - rather, to showcase using herbs and other plants can make us better. And Gabe is not your average “ohhh lemme capitalize on this CBD craze” kinda guy either. He’s the kind of guy who saw through a back fracture injury he got while skiing and used the experience to recognize the value of herbs and hemp. Since then, he has been spreading the word while using part of his profits to plant trees in the U.S. His cause is now to mend people, mend the earth and connect with both. They say when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. In Gabe’s case, make balms, drops and lotions, heal others’ woes and replant whole forests while you’re at it!

Press reved up to hear:

What CBD actually does and why it’s so great
The difference between marijuana and hemp and CBD and THC
The best analogies ever spoken by a wellness guru ;-)
Why the health industry needs to think about overall environmental and societal wellness
How to cook to enhance CBD’s natural qualities
Why CBD is the answer for anxiety, inflammation, pain and stress
How Gabe Kennedy’s back fracture led to his discovery of the values of herbalism and cannabis
How Plant People is growing the forest and doing their bit for the planet
Why CBD oils should become a practice… just like your yoga or morning meditation
And more!

Show notes

This episode is like an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink-kinda-‘sode. In this solo chat, I spill an assortment of beans: some pinto - I mean personal - and some business beans. I figure that since we hang out while you launder, cycle, commute, hike, clean or road trip, we’re pals. So here’s an honest chat about my upcoming dwelling changes, the most exciting plant-party I’ve ever thrown, a second brand that’s brewing, and the stories behind it all!

Show notes

Nikole Goncalves is the gal behind the beloved and mega popular YouTube channel (which has over 560K subscribers and over 39 Million views) Health Nut Nutrition, and in this here episode, she gave me the BEYOND *nutshell* scoop on all things food, nutrition, and sustainable, approachable wellness. And Trader Joes. We recorded this chat on national avocado day and believe me, this convo was all I could have *avo* wanted. (OK, sorry for the *guacward* pun...) What I love about this chatty Canadian (yes, she did say sorry and yes, I did make fun of her accent) is that she had such a down-to-earth approach to healthy eating and happy living. Her relationship with food has never been a rocky one and so her words are confident and refreshing to hear. We talk about how she found her calling, what it’s been like running her vlog from the bottom now she here, her new brand for plant loving pups, meditation, smoothie recipes, body shaming, and her upcoming book debut. For a talk that’ll have you as much on board for hypnosis as it will get you drooling over dessert, press play!

You’ll go nuts over hearing:

Why it’s time to slow down and pay attention to how food makes you FEEL
How one of the best YouTubers in food and wellness got her start
One wicked smoothie recipe that’ll have you energized and ready to go
Forget all about diets and eat intuitively and healthier
Why listening to your body really is the way to go
What high functioning anxiety could look like and some methods for getting around it
What’s the deal with hypnosis and how to start doing it for a calmer you
The best puppy shopping spree products for your #HealthNutPup
The perks of morning meditation and no-phone blocks of time
And of course, yummy desserts to wrap it all up

[party in my plants] 155: Gettin’ Spicy with Dr. Josh Axe! Why Herbs Are The Unsung Heroes of Your Plant Party (and how to do Keto with plants) Aug 16, 2019

Show notes

Dr. Josh Axe is that dude (and doctor) who seems to have it all figured out. He’s a certified doctor of natural medicine, a doctor of chiropractic and a clinical nutritionist with a passion for helping people get healthy by empowering them to use nutrition to fuel their health. Men’s Health calls him a guru of all things ayurvedic medicine and ancient Chinese medicine, and when I feel like I need to find the culprits of anything that ails me or get the trusted and research backed lowdown on the latest popular plant or wellness trend, I visit his website A BUNCH. As do 17 million other people…a month. I love getting to sit down with a doc who can spill smart stuff on any topic I ask about. In this chat Dr. Axe dished out some wisdom on everything from deplorable keto diet mistakes (it’s NOT about butter fried cheese with bacon, thank you very much) to sneaky and yummy ways to up your herbs and spice intake (if you’re not already on the turmeric band wagon, we’ll getchu there!) and he even takes us a little into woo-ville when he talks about how poor emotional health can lead to major organ health! So let’s roll the tape roll because the doctor will get off his massively popular Instagram account and see..us..now!

Press Play to hear:

A heartfelt story on how Dr. Josh Axe fell in love with natural medicine
Tips to encourage your loved one to adopt (at least partially) some traditional medicine practices
Why the modern-day western medicine doesn’t have all the answers
How to do Keto the right way AND for the right length of time
Why herbs and spices are the unsung heroes of your plant party
Why your emotional health is so crucial for your physical health
How to understand your element and what that means for your body
Why personalized eating makes way more sense than one-diet-fits-all
And tons more!

[party in my plants] 154: Your Healthiest Relationship with Booze Starts Here. with hypnotherapist, Georgia Foster Aug 09, 2019

Show notes

My guest today hits the nail right on the head when she says “we live in a drinking world.” Georgia Foster is a hypnotherapist originally from Australia, who has spent many years living in London and as such, she knows a thing or two about the prevalence of drinking cultures. Georgia’s aim in her work is to teach people how to establish healthy relationships with booze and to learn how to drink less rather than have to break up with that glass of vino forever. In this chat that has truly stuck with me at all of my drinking events since, we dive into how our anxiety and specifically, our inner critics, are the biggest enablers of over-drinking. If you know your inner critic is ruining (or running!) your life, don’t freak out! Georgia had more than a few practical tips to retrain your brain and rely on that happy hour drink a little less. What I liked most about this conversation is that Georgia is by no means the booze police and that her cool-as-a-cucumber approach is ACTUALLY realistic because no, she’ll never tell you not to enjoy a good party, she’s just helping us all have happier inner dialogue so our critics don’t run rogue.

Press play to hear:

The difference between an alcoholic and someone who is trying to drink less
The drinking personalities: perfectionists versus people pleasers
Why your inner critic is encouraging you to pop bottles and pour that extra glass
Why switching up your drink of choice is likely to turn you into a hot mess
Why weddings can cause pressure to drink too much and what to do about it
How getting anxiety in check directly relates to better habits around drinking
How drinking allows us to spend time without our inner critics and can therefore lead to overdoing it
What your tipsy self is trying to communicate with you
Techniques to stop anxiety and prepare for healthy nights out with alcohol
And more!

[party in my plants] 153: The Wow and Why of Weaving Wellness with Work, with Abbi Miller Aug 02, 2019

Show notes

My guest today is a Holistic Nutrition-turned-Business Coach and yoga teacher-turned-productivity preacher who’s obsessed with showing ladies how to weave wellness with work, dodge burnout, and get the good shit done. Abbi Miller’s roots are in yoga but somewhere along the way through her table top poses, cobras and proud warriors, she realized that to be the proudest warrior of all, you have to be able to flow through your work day by balancing your overall wellness. While running her holistic nutrition + yoga biz for 11 years, she’s well versed in the self-employment juggle of feeling exhausted, hangry and face-palming every time you look at your to-do list. That’s why, through private coaching and mentoring, public speaking, transformational events and luxury yoga retreats, Abbi help ladies optimize their life so their health and work flourish like a well-watered-chia-pet. Her combo of wellness with biznass is nothing short of, well, magic. Which is a word she uses a lot. So much so that I would be highly supportive of you turning Abbi’s use of “magic” in this chat into a kombucha drinking game.

[party in my plants] 152: The One About the Greatness of the Great Outdoors! Sanni McCandless talks adventuring with Alex Honnold, eating plants in a van, and building a life of meaning Jul 26, 2019

Show notes

Today’s guest calls herself a life & transition coach for the outdoor-minded, and I call her nature’s walking billboard. (Meaning, she sells the effects of nature, hard.) You might’ve met Sanni McCandless in the Oscar-Winning documentary film Free Solo, which captured the emotional story of professional rock climber Alex Honnold attempting to conquer the first free solo (a look ma, no hands type of climb) of a famous 900-metre vertical rock face called El Capitan's at Yosemite National Park. While it’s impossible to not be on the edge of your seat while Alex is on the edge of a cliff with just his fingertips and no safety net, when I watched the film, I found myself even more locked into Sanni, his girlfriend. When the film ended and I was able to stop clenching every muscle in my body, I searched for Sanni on the interwebs and was not surprised to find that she’s a passionate entrepreneur compassionately driven to helping people create more tailored, intentional lifestyles. This deep dive with Sanni definitely inspired me to get outside more. She crushed this interview with insight on taking time off work to travel, revamping our routines to create more meaning, eating more plants, appreciating the outdoors, and designing our lives to make the most out of them. For an inspirational interview that’ll inspire you to get up for sunrise, stargaze at night, or bravely hop on a bike more, hit play.

[party in my plants] 151: An Inspiralizing Trick for Summertime Plant-Partying! With Ali Maffucci of Inspiralized Jul 19, 2019

Show notes

Hey there! I’m hard at work over here on some really exciting upcoming things so I’ve chosen to re-air the very first ever interview I did on this here podcast 3 years ago woohoo. This is the prefect chat to resurface because it’ll serve as a powerful reminder of how and why to use your spiralizer -- my top summer kitchen tool (outside of my blender of course). It’ll also be a little ridiculous to hear my first ever interview when I was just a wee podcast hosting baby - I really should bring more games into my interviews nowadays, that was so fun. Anyway, here’s my chat with Ali Maffuci, the queen of turning plants into noodles. She’s the founder of the mega-brand Inspiralized, creator of the Inspiralizer tool (which I use to make my veggie noodles), the author of three bestselling cookbooks, the maker of two children and the inventor of the spiralized sweet potato BUN. This is quite the inspiralizing chat:

In this super INSPIRALIZING show, you’ll learn:

Exactly how to spiralize 13 different fruits and veggies from A-Z (literally from Apple to Zucchini)
Mind-blowing ways Ali adds spiralized plants to baked goods, desserts, and even cocktails
The inspiring story behind Inspiralized and how Ali keeps creativity swirling around in her head
How spiralizing has helped Ali shed 30 lbs.
The birth story of the SWEET POTATO BUN (yes BUN - like a burger BUN. Made of sweet potato noodles!)
The secrets to not crying over onions and slicing a pepper in 1 shot
And so much more!
