In this episode of Motherhood Unstressed I am speaking with author and filmmaker Sasha Sagan about her new book "FOR SMALL CREATURES SUCH AS WE" which was inspired by her viral essay for The Cut, “Lessons of Immortality and Mortality From My Father, Carl Sagan”. Sagan is the daughter of late astronomer/author Carl Sagan and writer/producer Ann Druyan. Some of the topics we discuss: How becoming a mother prompted Sagan to tap into her secular upbringing in the hopes of finding a non-religious worldview to pass on to her child The power of secular rituals to process and understand the passage of time What it was like growing up as the daughter of Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan Nurturing a childlike sense of wonder as an adult for greater perspective and happiness  QUOTES "Those questions, our place in the universe, reckoning with our own mortality, those deep philosophical questions about existence, there's just nothing that's more interesting to talk about, to wrestle with" "So much of the book is a love letter to my parents... they both were comfortable with asking a question to which we do not know the answer and looking for evidence"  "Everything we consider traditional is new on the scale of human history...so I think there's a way to carve out the parts that are meaningful to us without feeling so beholden that we're in a position to go through the motions about things we don't really connect to"  RESOURCES: Get the Book: "For Small Creatures Such As We" IG: @sashasagan Website: https://www.sashasagan.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/SashaSagan CONNECT: Leave a review on iTunes (why do you love the Motherhood Unstressed Podcast?)

Check out some of our most popular past episodes! Alex and Carlos Pena Vega Poet Kate Baer Seth Godin "Somebody Feed Phil" Phil Rosenthal  The Way of Integrity with Martha Beck Heart Mind Coherence Meditation  About the Author: Sasha Sagan has worked as a TV producer, filmmaker (she co-wrote and produced a film with best friend Kirsten Dunst, which was screened at Tribeca and closed Cannes in 2010), editor, writer, and speaker in New York, Boston, and London. Her essays and interviews on death, history, and ritual through a secular lens have appeared in New York Magazine, O Magazine, Lit Hub, Mashable, The Violet Book, and elsewhere. She regularly speaks on ways science can inform our celebrations and how we mark the passage of time. FOR SMALL CREATURES SUCH AS WE is a moving tribute to a father, a newborn daughter, a marriage, and the natural world—a celebration of life itself, and the power of our families and beliefs to bring us together. PRAISE FOR FOR SMALL CREATURES SUCH AS WE: “Read her work; you’ll have a deeper appreciation for your every step, every bite, and every breath.” —Bill Nye, The Science Guy “This lyrical exploration of how we can find beauty in the natural world comes from the daughter of Carl Sagan, so it's no wonder Sasha's reverence for the cosmos shines through on every page. It's part memoir, part history, part reflection, and all a wonderful gift for your favorite reader.” —Good Housekeeping “Wonderful. . . An elixir for people facing personal crises in a secular world.” —Wall Street Journal “A look at life, the cosmos, and finding magic in our daily lives.” —New York Post “Like her parents, Sasha has the passion, brilliance, and ability to spark curiosity, skepticism, and hope, through the written word. Open mind required. No faith necessary.” —Boing Boing “[Sagan's] view is wide in scope and she draws connections between many fields of science, history, and pop culture. She's not afraid to speculate about the future, including the future of humanity. Her poetic, engaging prose will resonate with many readers, as will her refreshingly breeze and open-minded approach. While some writers today dwell on threats to humanity as if an apocalypse is already upon us and all our children will live horrible lives, Sagan suggests that, regardless of what's to come, we should make the most of the little moments we have on our little corner of the pale blue dot.” —Undark Magazine “A gorgeous collection of essays. . . Birth, anniversaries, fasting, atonement: She approaches these subjects with wonderment and a generous window into her extraordinary family history. . . Sagan writes with stunning clarity and absolute joy. . . For Small Creatures Such As We is a marvel. It dazzles and comforts while making us consider our own place in the vast universe.” —BookPage “From birthdays to funerals to the changing of the seasons to lunar cycles, [Sagan] thoughtfully explores how to blend science and spirituality. An eye-opening book for those who might question traditional religious celebrations but feel connected to the community, rituals, and comforts they provide, this is a refreshing, intelligent examination of faith, religion, and the many wonders of science worthy of celebration.” —Booklist, starred review “In Sagan's astonishingly beautiful and wiser-beyond-one's-years debut, her lineage bursts forth on each page like a literary and scientific big bang. . . [Sagan writes] 'We can be sure that our ancestors, all of our ancestors, contemplated Earth's place in the universe with awe.' For Small Creatures Such As We very much deserves to be read in the same way. . . A wondrous journey exploring how rituals and celebration connect to life's greater meaning.” —Shelf Awareness for Readers  “Welcoming and tender. . . Charming and appealing, this thoughtful work serves as an uplifting, life-honoring celebration of human existence.” —Publishers Weekly

In this episode, Ozone Therapy expert Micah Lowe explains in simple terms how ozone therapy improves your body’s intake and use of oxygen, activates your immune system, increases energy and stamina, and improves cognitive and athletic performance.  Ozone is one of the most misunderstood oxidative molecules, but in reality it is an incredibly strong oxidant that alters your body at a cellular level and helps your mitochondria make more antioxidants. Tune in to find out how it helps heal chronic conditions and optimize health. Some of the topics we discuss: Ozone therapy for immune system support, athletic recovery, wound and skin care, pain relief, increasing energy and decreasing brain fog How high-quality ozone generators and ozone kits (like show favorite Simply 03) work, and how to incorporate it with the rest of your health routine QUOTES "So, there’s a whole world of ozone that you can dive into. There’s ozone for municipalities. There’s ozone for wine making. There’s ozone for pools. There’s ozone for hot tubs. There’s ozone for aquariums, and then there’s medical ozone. They’re all different." "Ozone is actually similar to exercise in that it signals a pathway called the NRF2 pathway, where it’s actually good for you, so, this can be good in terms of athletic performance because it’ll help people to recover faster. It’ll help them to diminish the effects of those workouts that are really tough.” RESOURCES: https://www.DrsOzone.com  Simply O3 Home Ozone Kit Honest O3 Oxygen Rich Cosmetics  IG @micahforhealth YouTube: DrsOzone Harvard Study - Wu X, Hu X, Hamblin MR.

In fact, women weren’t required to be in clinical research until 1993, and women are diagnosed on average 4 years later than men for the same disease. That’s why my guest this week, Priyanka Jain, created Evvy, an at-home test that aims to close the gender health gap by discovering and leveraging overlooked biomarkers in the female body - starting with the vaginal microbiome.  Some of the topics we discuss: The importance of the vaginal microbiome as a marker of female overall health The existence of the gender health gap and how to begin to solve it with data Metagenomic sequencing and analysis for indications of fertility and infertility  QUOTES "I think every woman has their own version of the story of being misdiagnosed, or under diagnosed or misunderstood at the doctor's office" "Women weren't required to be in clinical research until 1993...this is actually a data problem." "As we started doing research on where to start, the vaginal microbiome became so clear that it was such an important biomarker and marker of health generally in the female body that we had never looked at before" Resources: Website: https://www.evvy.com  IG: evvybio Providers interested in learning more can contact Evvy directly at providers@evvy.com  Connect with Motherhood Unstressed: Leave a review on iTunes (why do you love the Motherhood Unstressed Podcast?)
