The Melissa Ambrosini Show

In the US alone, 49 million disposable diapers end up in landfill every day — an eye-watering number. And some cloth nappies have their own problems too (hello, massive carbon footprint). So what’s the answer? Today’s podcast guest, Andrea Olson has one solution: Elimination Communication (EC) — a gentle method of pottying your baby from as early as birth by tuning in to their subtle communications. If EC sounds ‘new’ or ‘trendy’, it’s not — this is how parents pottied their children for millennia before diapers came along. So tune in to this eye-opening episode to find out how Andrea says pottying your baby in this way can not only make raising your child cleaner, easier and better for the planet, it can also help you cultivate a deeper connection with your child right from the get-go.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/401 for the show notes.My newsletter: melissaambrosini.com/newsletterMy instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acast.

Globally, there are lots of conversations going on right now about money — whether it’s crypto, becoming financially independent, creating passive income, *whatever*, we’re all talking about it (and maybe trying to attract more of it)... But how much do you really know about your relationship with money and wealth? And are your beliefs actually causing you to live in a state of constant scarcity, unable to make the positive impact on the world which you desire? To unravel these issues and help us all improve our relationship with money, I’m joined today by Lynne Twist — a fascinating woman who has devoted her life to bringing forth an environmentally sustainable, socially just, and spiritually fulfilled human presence on earth. In this episode, she’s sharing her insights on the relationship of people to money, the psychology of scarcity and sufficiency, and how our beliefs can unwittingly be holding us back from doing good in the world. If you are *at all* interested in money, wealth, healing humanity, and stepping out of the scarcity cycle, this conversation is a must-listen.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/398 for the show notes.My newsletter: melissaambrosini.com/newsletterMy instagram: @melissaambrosiniThis episode is brought to you by @blubloxofficial.
