After Guru Jagat's sudden and unexpected death in 2021, Shabadpreet served as Guru Jagat's Chief of Staff, implementing Guru Jagat's trail-blazing vision and supporting the fruition of RA MA's physical and digital expansion from a wellness start-up to an internationally recognized global phenomenon.

A lot of holistic birth support focuses on mothers giving birth in real time — and obviously that is hugely important. However, there’s another aspect of healing that is equally impactful and necessary – healing our own birth stories. Today, we welcome Dana Penenberg, a holistic birth coach and radical birthkeeper to both mother and baby. Utilizing the modalities of craniosacral, somatic healing, inner child work and birth imprint healing — as well as drawing on her knowledge of pre and perinatal psychology — there’s really not many people doing work on this level. Compassionate and knowledgeable, Dana really opened our eyes to birth and the way it shapes us not just as we arrive into the world but over the course of our lives. If you’re a parent, expecting, or even if you have zero intention of having kids — there is something for everyone to learn and heal from in this episode.

Our resident astrologer, Danielle Beinstein, joins us for a deep and powerful conversation about the true meaning of astrology — to remember our humanity. As much as we can turn to the stars to help us reorient ourselves, it’s our connection to self, love, each other and the natural world that creates true change. Therefore, you’ll find this episode peppered with current cosmic themes but you’ll find more conversation around critical thinking, moving past cancel culture, rising above divisiveness, political events past and present, and growth and humility. Tune in for a conversation that squarely and maturely stares at current reality without losing sight of love and hope for a more peaceful future.

We’re excited to welcome Jason Schaefer, the owner of Holy Lamb Organics, a bedding and mattress company that carries on a centuries-old tradition of making beautiful textile products by hand. Combining heritage methods with pristine natural and organic materials and sustainable business practices, they bring a dedication to healthy living and the environment to a time-honored approach. Jason himself entered the organic mattress industry after his wife Mindy was having health issues. After swapping out the mattress, Mindy felt better overnight and by the end of the week, she was back to her normal self. It was a painfully obvious "ah ha!" moment, but it changed the course of their lives. Now they run Holy Lamb Organics, trying to help people find healthier sleep options and are both a wealth of knowledge and deeply passionate about their business. Tune in and we guarantee you'll be inspired to make the swap to organic wool for yourself, family, and our planet!

Today, we welcome Carolyn O'Hare, co-founder of Tiny Organics, to THE FULLEST Podcast. Carolyn is well-versed in building and managing companies, formerly running operations at brands like FIJI Water and Beyond Meat. However, now she has turned her talents to Tiny Organics, an early childhood nutrition company focused on shaping baby and toddler palates to prefer vegetables. Since the company started, Tiny Organics have raised $14M in venture capital and have grown to serve customers nationwide. A very impressive feat for a small but mighty team of eight people! All of this is to say that we got to talk to Carolyn about so many of our favorite things from the best ways to nourish our little ones, to the challenges and gifts of running a DTC business during COVID, and the art of balancing life as a founder and as a mom.
