The Other Way

What if aligning your daily routine with your hormonal cycles could transform your productivity and well-being? Today I'm diving into a solo episode providing an update on life, spirituality, and how cycle syncing (or cyclical living) has changed my life.  This solo episode of The Other Way explores how embracing your natural rhythms can be a game-changer, especially within a patriarchal society that often overlooks the unique needs of women - and the cycles of nature. Today I'll be covering: Life, business, and spirituality updates (including my deepening meditation practice and how it's been shifting my life!) Cycle syncing: what it is, how it works, and how "feminine" productivity and "feminine time" can look like I walk through each phase of the cycle with TIPS!

Welcome back, community! I am really honored to bring on my next amazing guest: Sara Avant Stover. This week's episode is perfectly timed with her latest book which is NOW live, Handbook for the Heartbroken. Today we're talking about the messy stuff —heartache, health issues, money troubles—and how they shape us. I so deeply appreciate this powerful conversation because Sara touches on not just the pains we face but also those "second arrows" e.g. the broken dreams that follow loss, the shame that follows a fall from grace, and everything in between. These are conversations that are often not covered in our "highlight reel" focused society but these are the openhearted conversations that in my opinion, we should be having. Trigger warning: today we will be covering miscarriages, abortions, betrayal, bankruptcy and more. What we cover: Finding course when you’re trying not to drown Facing shame and rejection head on and accepting that as part of the journey Leaning into self-acceptance instead of spiritual bypass Faith and identifying your true voice as a navigator Rituals around finding your footing again The initiation of grief - grief as a means of cultural initiation  + so much more  About Sara:Sara Avant Stover (she/her) is the author of three books; a teacher and mentor of women's spirituality, empowerment, and entrepreneurship; and a Certified Internal Family Systems Practitioner. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa and Summa cum Laude from Columbia University’s all-women’s Barnard College, she had a cancer scare, moved to Thailand, and embarked on a decade-long healing and spiritual odyssey throughout Asia. Since then, she’s gone on to uplift tens of thousands of women worldwide. Sara has been featured in Yoga Journal, The Huffington Post, Newsweek, Natural Health, and on ABC, NBC, and CBS.  To connect with Sara: IG: SaraAvantStoverFB: Sara Avant StoverLI: Sara Avant Stover SaraAvantStover.com

Hi everyone! Today I'm speaking with Joe Hollier, Co-Founder of Light -> a minimalistic, non-addictive smartphone alternative. For those of you who have known me for a while I've been on a long-time mission to become more intention with the information I'm taking in and to cultivate more focus and flow into my day. Partner that with my long-time meditation practice and over the past few years it has become obvious to me that my phone... as convenient as it is... is definitely part of a larger problem.This year I "upgraded" to a Lightphone and started to set more serious boundaries with my phone. I noticed that on retreats/vacations/weekends when I don't have a traditional smartphone on me I feel more focused, intentional, and peaceful. On days when I am on my phone a lot I feel overwhelmed, more anxious, and "rushing" non-stop. I also found it more difficult to participate in things I loved: reading, learning, and tapping into that state of "deep focus".Well, it turns out I'm not alone. According to recent research:  Checking phones has become so prevalent that more than 40 percent of consumers said they look at the devices within five minutes of waking up, according to a 2016 survey by Deloitte.  Fifty percent said they check them in the middle of the night.  “The brain starts learning how to switch rapidly from one task to another to another,” says William Klemm, senior professor of neuroscience at Texas A&M University and author of Teach Your Kids How to Learn. “It becomes a habit. But this habit conflicts with focused attentiveness.”  Y'all, IDK about you but I don't feel good feeling so distracted - I want more peace and a sense of calm groundedness in my day-to-day. Enter Light - and this conversation.   What we talk about:  Joe and Kaiwei's journey of creating a "light" phone in the era of "more is more" (more apps, more features, more addiction) What it was like building towards a very polarizing vision: the challenge of fundraising in an era where smartphones were all the rage & VC's were looking for "hockey stick" growth The power of community: bringing customers along the journey of building a complex, multi-year hardware tech product (How crowdfunding made all the difference) The research behind going light + the benefits seen from case studies like schools that went 100% light phone and the benefits seen from customers What "actually" makes smartphones addictive? Why "screentime" often isn't enough Joe's own journey of cultivating an "intentional" life (as an artist and multidisciplinary designer) What Joe predicts the future of social might look like AND tech companies he's loving these days + so much more!About Joe:I'm a multi-disciplinary artist and entrepreneur. I studied design at the School of Visual Arts and graduated as the valedictorian. I started a design studio & skateboard company called Five on That, working as an animator, film maker, and illustrator mostly. I was also selling and exhibiting my painting and collage work. The Smithsonian commissioned a short film called "Diary". Other clients include Nike, CNN, the Lincoln Center, Debbie Millman, Office of Paul Sahre and Sagmeister & Walsh. Print Magazine recognized me as one of the top 20 visual artists under the age of 30 in 2014. I was invited to participate in Google’s inaugural incubator in 2014, which is where I began building the Light Phone with my partner Kai. In 2016 I received the A.D.C. Young Guns award. In 2020, I was named one of Forbes 30 under 30 for consumer technology products. I love my cat, walking the bridge, reading, camping, piano and the color yellow. To connect with Joe: IG: thelightphone&
