In this special episode of Meathead Hippie, Em highlights two (out of many) of her most favorite clips from The Body Awareness Project Part One: Skin which is all about addressing the root causes of skin issues by looking deeper into our bodies.

Lauren provides several steps on how to listen to your own body’s intuition in order to understand its place in your healing journey. In addition to Lauren’s piece, Diane Sanfilippo talks about the importance of knowing what we are putting on our skin with beauty and skin care products. Diane provides a great amount of useful tips on how to get rid of the harmful ingredients that are problematic to our systems by replacing them with ones that will work best for YOU. “If we know that there is something that we can change with our personal care, it is just another step that can prevent ourselves from using harmful products.”

#60 with Rosa Jad on a Social Media, Millennial, Self-Worth, and Body.
With a lively and upbeat personality, it’s no wonder Rosa Jad’s job title is actually labeled, “Radio Personality.” The way Rosa delivers her messages is real, leaving no room for important thoughts to be filtered or left unsaid. In this episode of Meathead Hippie, Rosa and Em talk about how the most important quality to pertain in a friendship is authenticity, and Rosa exudes exactly that by being authentic in her own skin. In addition, Rosa speaks on her own struggles and day-to-day challenges she faces as a Arabic Muslim living in the States. “Anytime somebody conforms to what society claims as acceptable, you automatically gave up yourself.” Other topics that are discussed in this podcast include: How to balance your personal and professional lives, a body image mindset, instant gratification in today’s world of technology, and dealing with regrets throughout life. Rosa said it perfectly when she stated, “If you are true to yourself, you give off an aura that make all people feel like they can be themselves around you.”

#59 with Em: Make Magic Every Day.
A monologue on making magic. On empaths in business. On the smallest acts. On feeling SO DAMN MUCH ALL THE TIME. On what is ours to carry and what is not. On worrying about others when we can't quite figure it out ourselves.
On making magic every day.
