Full show notes here. I'm excited to introduce you to another one of my friends from the Ram Dass retreat. If you haven't heard about the retreat or Ram Dass yet we talk all about both in this episode. My guest today Jonathan Leland gives a great background of Ram Dass and how he started following his work. Jon, much like Ram Dass is one of the smartest, most fascinating people I've ever met.  I've been excited to have him on the podcast since meeting him. He has such a creative, unique and inquisitive approach to life which comes through in our conversation.  Some of you may remember the animal meditations I shared in my past newsletter. These are just one small example of the innovative and inspirational things Jonathan does. We explore topics like community, psychedelics, death, and the inevitable changes of life and learning to re-love every new and changed moment and situation. He beautifully describes this as the 'dance between change and love' in life. The whole conversation is so rich and nourishing for the soul. I hope you love it as much as I do.   — Show Sponsors — — Aaptiv — Try it FREE for 30 Days Enter the code "LetItOut" at checkout I 'm loving Aaptiv so much.

Full show notes here. Sarah Britton of My New Roots was one of the first food blogs I started following over 7 years ago. Sarah didn't know it at the time but she was my holistic habits mentors - teaching me from a far everything from how to cook quinoa, to the wonder that is nutritional yeast and other kitchen tricks I had never heard of. Now, years later, her blog has become hugely popular, she's become a mother to a beautiful baby boy, has written two books, and her business has expanded beyond what she had ever expected. In this conversation we explore topics you may expect like healthy habits both in the kitchen and in everyday life. But we also talk about things you may not have expected like manifestation, travel and living abroad, and our mutual love for Abraham Hicks. There is something for everyone in this conversation and honestly we could have talked for hours more. Take a listen and let us know what you think in the Facebook Group. If you loved the episode and have more questions that we didn't cover post them there . I've also got a couple events coming up I hope to see some of you at!

I love today's episode with comedian, writer, and actor Andrew Michaan. As usual it's a long meandering conversation covering everything from relationship and to body image advice, to creativity, to spirituality and God. You may remember hearing about him on the episode I did with his girlfriend Andreé Vermeulen and ever since that episode aired I've been excited to share this conversation I recorded with Andrew. He's not only super talented as a performer, as a person he's super wise and fascinating. We talk about a bunch of things that inspire us from the beverages we're into, to the tools he uses to stay productive and creative. All the notes for everything we discuss are in the show notes and be sure to check out our sponsors (also below), they help keep the podcast alive.

FULL SHOW NOTES HERE I love today's conversation but I hope it isn't an entirely a self-serving time for me to geek out about something I love. When I was 8 years old I became obsessed with Rent, the musical by Jonathan Larson that became a super hit in the mid 90s. Meanwhile across the state another kid, today's guest Danny Kornfeld also knew every word to the original broadway cast recording and fell in love with the show. Cut to 2016 and that young Renthead is playing the staring role in the show's 20th anniversary tour and today he's talking to me all about how that dream came true. Danny Kornfeld is a talented actor and his staring role in Rent comes after extensive performance experience, studying theater at Syracuse University, and moving to New York City to pursue a career in the theater. It was incredible to get to hear about what led Danny this role as well as explore the reflections that art have on his life and how they've inspired him to be himself more fully in real life. He is so thoughtful around his approach to his work and what it brings to the world. One of his favorite lines from Rent is “Give in to love, or live in fear". In my latest newsletter where I sent my recent reflections on love. The relevance of this line now in our current world shows the relevance Rent still has socially and politically 20 years later. I'm grateful the podcast allows me to connect with interesting people with similar interests like Danny and I'm real excited to see him perform tonight (on the day this is published I'm going to the show here in Detroit). I know regardless of your relationship to the piece you'll enjoy this tangental conversation, but warning, it might make you a new Renthead too... — Show Sponsors — — Aaptiv — Try it FREE for 30 Days Enter the code "LetItOut" at checkoutI 'm loving Aaptiv so much.

Today's episode is with the very wise Dr. Christiane Northrup. She's an OBGYN who has been the leader in holistic female health since the early 1990s. She's been featured on Oprah several times and her many best selling books have helped shift people's approach to health (like the bigger picture 'health' that expands beyond the physical), especially for women. For long-time pod listeners you may remember that I interviewed her daughter Kate Northrup as one of my first guests on the show. Dr. Northrup is so wise and gives such interesting information about sex, pleasure, and relationships as well as so much more in this episode. In our conversation we cover her background and her past work, why it has been so important and how that has led her to the work she is doing now and her latest book she wrote. We cover her wisdom gained on 'getting older', the changes in the medicine and wellness industry, the importance of embracing sexuality, the interconnectedness (in our bodies and beyond). She lists so many good resources in this episode, especially books, so be sure to check out the show notes below.If you have any questions for Dr. Northrup or myself tweet at us or reach out to us in the Facebook Group here.

While I love meeting new people though the podcast and recording our first conversation, what I might love even more is leading deep conversations with my real life friends. For some reason having the microphone between us allows the conversation to go into directions it likely wouldn't if we were just hanging out in real life. Since we're recording I can ask the deep life questions I might be too embarrassed to ask out of the blue or during brunch. While Katy was home over the holidays she spent a couple days with me and I made sure we spent some time recording since she's one of the most fascinating people I know. This conversation covers navigating female friendships in our twenties from us talking about our experience of sticking with each other through moves, careers, and lifestyle changes. Katy's a stylist who spent time working at Vogue and assisting some of the top stylists in New York City so we talk about style and how to work yourself out of a slump in the way you dress. Katy is one of the most adventurous people I know so we discuss risk taking, her extensive travels, moving around and navigating all the changing that occurs in your twenties. We get a little "inside baseball" with our college life and friendship at the beginning and a bit throughout so you'll get to know me more in this episode and I even reveal some big life news in the middle of the episode that I've been waiting and excited to share. I hope you like this episode as much as I did. — Show Sponsors —Charlotte's WebI'm super excited to share with you one of my new favorite products.

I met Misty on a beach in Hawaii. She was [is] so beautiful, engaging, and talented that she would have been wildly intimidating yet she was also warm, kind, and sweet so I felt immediately comfortable around her. She's someone who, when she talks to you is completely present making you feel like you're the most important person in the room rather than looking around for the next best person to talk to. Getting to know Misty more I realized we had a lot in common when it came to our tumultuous relationships with food and our body image. I never would have guessed that seemingly confident Misty would have struggled in the same way I did with this but she did and does... We had a really long, meandering, raw, vulnerable conversation about everything from her own eating disorder and body image struggles, to where she's at now healing it all so I thought it would be a perfect conversation to air for National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. While some of this conversation is heavy on the body image and eating front, that's not all we spoke about. Misty is a super successful and talented musician so we talk about her career, writing process, and advice for aspiring musicians, as well as her current and future projects she has in the works. I think you'll find this entire conversation to be a delight, I did. — Show Sponsors —Charlotte's WebI'm super excited to share with you one of my new favorite products.

full show notes. BONUS EPISODE! Today on the podcast the two founders of the incredible Good Fest. I’ll be speaking at this radday of wellness in Philly on April 22nd and when I met the founders I knew it was a perfect fit because they were people I wanted to hang out with all the time. Not only will I be there but so will tons of past pod guests like Jess Murnane from last week’s episode, Jordan Younger aka the Balanced Blonde, Talia from Party in My Plants and more.
