Her flower formulas treat everything from social jitters to heartbreak to body dysmorphia — her comprehensive collection will support you through life's seasonal shifts.

We are delighted to host New York Times bestselling author Jessica Lahey on THE FULLEST Podcast! For over twenty years, Jessica has taught sixth through twelfth grade in both public and private schools; she spent five years teaching in a drug and alcohol rehab for adolescents and serves as a prevention and recovery coach in a medical detox and recovery center. Her written pieces about education, parenting, and child welfare have been shared in highly recognized publications; she is the author of the New York Times bestselling book, The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed and The Addiction Inoculation: Raising Healthy Kids in a Culture of Dependence. Trigger warning: this episode may be sensitive for some listeners as we discuss generational trauma with alcoholism, the addiction lineage, substance abuse, resources to get help, and Jessica’s journey with sobriety. As you tune in, we ask you to reflect on the following: “Why is alcohol not working for you?” and “Is alcohol hindering your life?”

Our recent podcast episode with it-girl Jena Covello was such a success that it was only fitting to have her on THE FULLEST Podcast for a second interview!

Today on THE FULLEST Podcast, we chat with Dr. Jonathan Leary, a concierge wellness doctor and founder & CEO of Remedy Place. Dr. Leary graduated at the top of his class with a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine that provided him with an extensive foundation in anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, clinical nutrition, and rehabilitation. He spent a decade researching and developing cutting-edge techniques that optimize the body's natural ability to heal. Through his dedication to bringing patients back into balance, he founded Remedy Place, a social wellness club whose core foundation is empowerment through healing. As we learn in this episode, you don’t necessarily need a doctor to fix your pain; if you have the right tools and practices, you can take control of your health. Through his educational platform and fully inclusive club, he is shifting the healthcare system as we know it.

On this week’s episode of THE FULLEST Podcast, we sit down with Licensed Acupuncturist, Board Certified Herbalist, Lead Health Practitioner, and Co-Owner of Den Mother, Elisa Angelone. Den Mother is a healing house and social space offering myriad services designed to help down-regulate the nervous system to help up-regulate health and healing. They focus on creating a welcoming wellness space that counterbalances the stress of modern-day lives — tucked away on Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach, this sanctuary is the ideal place to unwind from the city chaos. Elisa is an East Asian Medicine Practitioner specializing in Japanese acupuncture and neuromuscular testing. Understanding the connection between the natural world, our physicality, and our inner world is a huge part of Elisa’s professional vocation — and as we learn in this episode, this has also played a significant role in the design and creation of Den Mother’s wellness space.

Giddy and fangirling over today's episode with creatrix, educator, and founder of Agent Nateur, Jena Covello. After being diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometriosis, Jena took a deep dive into the holistic and natural realm — swapping foods, supplements, and body care products with non-toxic alternatives. However, finding a natural deodorant up to par with mainstream offerings was nearly impossible. She took matters into her own hands and started cooking natural deodorant (free of endocrine disruptors) in her very own kitchen. Not only did it actually work, but her friends loved it too! Realizing she could implement these practices not solely in deodorant — but skincare in general — she had her ah-ha moment, and Agent Nateur was born! Ongoing trial and error, third-party testing and sourcing implications, financial hurdles, and pesky beauty industry regulations never hindered Jena’s success. Her unyielding hustle has landed her luxe, non-toxic skincare line to be highly recognized (kudos to h o l i ( m a n e ) being Erewhon’s #1 supplement sold)!

Many moons ago, we had the joy of hosting skincare guru Lauren Wolk-Goldfaden, on THE FULLEST Podcast. Today, she returns to our show, and plenty has changed since our last chat. This time around, Lauren has taken on two additional roles — she is now the mother of two and launched what she would call her third child, Mini Bloom, a clean, safe, and plant-powered line of essentials designed specifically for children's delicate skin. After years of working in the clean beauty space (she is also the Co-Founder of Goldfaden MD), Lauren was shocked when she couldn’t find nourishing, effective, worry-free products to use on her babies. So she took matters into her own hands, and Mini Bloom was born. Busy mamas will appreciate that every Mini Bloom product is gentle, effective, sustainable, natural, and free of chemical irritants and harmful substances. She takes the research portion out for you — there is no need to look into every ingredient, as you can trust that all Mini Bloom products are clean and non-toxic.
