We will never fully be our own, but rather an accumulative effort of all that has, is, and what will take place.   As such, we perhaps find ourselves passing each other by, unknowingly connected through these indirect acts that propel us into the lives of those we cohabit this big blue marble with. We'll never know to what extent our reach has had or has. Or the extent to which someone has on us. But what we do know is with what energy and intention we release something with.   Be and do with empathy. The hot sauce we didn't know we were lacking, but desperately crave. New pod ep with Jaime Alvarez Sobreviela @mrkatandfriends. He's one for the simple life. Family. Space. Time. Surf. Cats. Art. And imbued into each and every one of his characters is a little piece of himself, but the rest is up to you.  Taking an empathic standpoint, he, in that moment, has allowed space for not only himself on the canvas, but you the viewer. Allowing those to perceive it in whatever state they themselves are in.    Like when you sidle along on the bus seat to make space for another. And isn't that what we've all come to realize? Acknowledging and giving space to another actualizes this framework in which there's enough for all, not just me.

Like Shrek once said. Onion layers. Also, fixate over something, live, and it will happen. Full stop baby. New GN'G ep with the one and only Mohamed Danawi of Illozoo. Sassy. Sweet. Powerful. Casual. Human. You can find Illozoo and Mohamed at - https://illozoo.com/ https://danawi.com/

Sometimes all I want to do is talk. About what I don’t know. Can we just talk? Do others also yearn for this? To have the desire and the means to give form to something, yet not know quite yet with what purpose or outcome. Isn’t that where the best things come from? Teasing this in the latest ep. Touching on the spectrum of I think it’s about time and well within our worth to feel better than shit and settling for “okay”. Steeze - by definition a person's distinctive and attractive or impressive style of dress or way of doing things. We are most definitely not in our steeze. So how do we get back to it? What tools do we use? What steps do we take? All field notes. Also, on being burnt, there’s a little more of that cool-aid to be had in one of The Cut's latest pod eps. For reference here ~ https://bit.ly/3aSbBML Here’s to finding our yellow brick road.

Honestly, I haven't written that much. I mean, that's practically the extent of it. I operate more so in the sphere of my Notion workspaces where a plethora of spreadsheets, client briefs and databases keep me fulfilled. That is until it didn't. And I think that with the 3rd extension of this lockdown here, it finally hit a point where last Friday night I really felt it; so entirely and utterly deprived of any and all human closeness. There hasn't been one interaction that hasn't been instigated through either work, networking, grasping for some form of proximity through a screen, fulfilling my due diligence in both profession and family ties. And knowing that for the most part we're all in the same boat. There's nothing to be done. And that all I want is to lean up against a warm body and talk, or just close my eyes. Anyway. Person to person. You and I. That's basically what I want to talk about. So here it is, season 4. We're doing this.

There’s no more body. You can WHATEVER. And my ankles need elevating. The takeaway of this episode is surrender. Surrender whether by choice or out of necessity. Surrender in this moment to seize the next. Acknowledge the skill and strength it takes to surrender, to ask for help, and to accept it. Time-bound, corporeal-based acts of surrendering heals physically, and translates on a conscious, as well as subconscious level, that you ARE. Instances of simply being is a step above surviving and the state before living. Sometimes we need to be the bud before the bloom. And sometimes we need another to help us realize this. Definitely a slower episode. Christina prompts a quick intentional movement sesh followed by a meditation and tarot pull. We went out to go in. Therapy served. Don’t know what I’d do without my bean. If you feel like you’re in this place, need to hit refresh, or just want to follow along during the meditation, this one’s for you. This is Ep 41 Bud Before the Bloom with Christina Youngi Kim.

Doing things a little differently this week. For our birthdays, Christina Youngi Kim, my Taurus sister, bday twin, and cacao queen extraordinaire is the one asking the questions. I know, right now, there are a lot of us trying to keep afloat our social agendas, or maintain a state of normalcy, by way of what our tech facilitates. Zoom calls, virtual events, online classes. But I’ve also heard the burnout in that a 20 person Zoom call is just tiring, and at some point, the novelty of the screen fizzles out in comparison to that in-person event. But right now that’s just how it is. Rather than hold my previous engagements and agenda to what is doable within the restrictions of this pandemic, I’ve just adapted it. My days are slower, gentler, yet there’s also more fear and agitation. Sometimes I honestly just feel bipolar. Instead of seeing all that we live for, as on hold, let yourself be molded to what allows you to continue forward, to what feeds you, supports you. I make an event out of my weekly phone calls with those in my life whom I hold dear. Morning check-ins whilst finishing up a yoga stretch. Afternoon coffee chats. Heck, I even jabber away in the shower to a friend, wondering if the steam is eventually going to screw my iPhone over. If we were still on landlines, the bills would be outrageous. Christina and I hold our mini-meditation sesh on Thursday’s. We intentionally breathe together, and slurp cacao. Those people you don’t feel the need to entertain, to “do” with, but can just “be” with, those are a gift. We’re thinking of sharing some of these moments on the pod. No strings attached, just a good amount of musings, tangents, debates, recipes, fangirling, planning.etc. It’s a weird, abstract feeling. Ever since we’ve been in quarantine, the number of steps with which we expand our sense of existence out into this world with has significantly decreased to, perhaps that 700sq ft apartment, alongside morning runs and the weekly grocery pickup. And yet, I feel that my own existence is becoming fuller. That there’s much to do, much to experience, laugh and cry about. That I come from two people who loved each other dearly, that I’ve been given all that I have, and that there’s so much adventuring to be done. Pandemic or not. Anyway, this has been a tangent in itself. Here’s an episode giving space to whatever we were in that instance. Just between two friends. Don’t forget to give yourself moments like these. P.S. Christina leads a killer meditation.

Today we’re sitting down with Patrick Kelly, perfumer, and founder of Sigil Scent. With only our senses as a means through which we perceive the world, touch, sight, hearing, taste, and smell serve as the footholds through which we understand and carve our reality. Patrick, a wielder of one of such senses, alchemizes tinctures, essential oils, and absolutes in the act of preserving the moments and places we wish not to forget. There are things we can be certain of. The crispness and tang of life, the suggestive smokiness of what was, and that, though not in the same way, the repetitive blossom and its wilt is the way of things. As such, it’s our home from which Patrick draws upon in bottling these memories for us to wear. That these earthly matters in their transmuted forms will be our remembrance, a premonition, and predecessor as we too, move throughout our cycles. Once it was clear what we were up against and everything went on lockdown, Patrick has been singlehandedly formulating sanitizing hand mists from out of his downtown studio. As of the last batch update, the sanitizing hand mists are composed of 190-proof organic, lab-certified gluten free wheat-derived alcohol, distilled water, a small amount of essential oils (less than 2%), 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, and pure bloody intention. Over $4000 has been raised for @lalgbtcenter’s food pantry and COVID-19 relief efforts as a result of Patrick and his work. This is Ep 39 Earthly Matters with Patrick Kelly.

Today we’re sitting down with Alisa Pospekhova,  the International Marketing Director at Hourglass Cosmetics and founder of Kindroot, functional, adaptogenic plant lozenges. All I can say is when you’ve found someone who’s also been held back at TSA for traveling with questionable adaptogenic and root powders, well you know you’ve crossed paths with a fellow herb nerd. This episode’s for those that have long been practicing herbalism and plant medicine as a means of service, to both themselves and their community. As we step into this period in which the relationships between our states of being are put under even further scrutiny, we’re realizing that we are not well, and haven’t been for a very long time. We carry it in our postures, how we manage our time, connect with others, perceive others, the wider world, and generally the way in which we go about running ourselves into the ground. Our world only a reflection of this. Obviously, this being said, the circumstances have left us feeling powerless, but that’s not to say we don’t hold influence when it comes to our well-being, educating ourselves, and seeing ourselves, thus acting, as a part of a greater community. If we haven’t lost all sense of time, then this should serve as the perfect segway for the week to come. We spill the tea in this episode (do people still say that!? Gen Z here but my baby sister’s more tapped in than me). Herbs, plants, apprenticeships, international business and marketing, more herbs obviously, recipes, and all that Kindroot has brought forth since its founding. In questioning something, there’s initiative, through initiative there’s strength, and strength gives us the means to keep going. And I think that’s what a lot of us forget when there’s no end in sight but uncertainty, that the keep-going-part is the hardest thing. So here’s an episode that’ll hopefully provide a few practices you can employ, a few herbs you can lean on, and remind you that certainty does not make all decisions, nor does it call upon strength.

Today we’re sitting down with Lauren Popish, fellow podcaster and founder of The Wave, a podcasting studio that is catering towards your every podcasting need. So I’d say, for most of us, it’s been around a month in which our earthly foundations have been shaken to their core, Lauren being no exception. Trading the East coast for the West right before this all went down, she’d only just launched The Wave in what seemed the most kismet of moments given that her day job for a real estate company that she worked under as product manager just laid her off. So we go from moving across the country, to losing the stability of being employed, to basically having to pivot big time with this new podcasting studio because, I still can’t believe I am saying this, we’re in a pandemic. After having adjusted the pod’s scheduling a bit, Lauren’s the first guest that I am interviewing during this time. It’s perhaps more of a reactive episode in that we’re all just coping day by day, hour by hour. Sustaining this emotional rollercoaster we’re all going through calls for presence, meaningful movement, intentional consumption, but most importantly, connection. So why not brew a little something up, breathe a little deeper (I feel like all I’ve been doing lately is telling people to breathe!!), and tap into someone who’s feeling out her days and getting reacquainted with her voice. Realizing that small can be good, cozy is something deserved, and that any wave, big or small, is still a wave. This is I am The Wave with Lauren Popish.

On March 9th I announced the pod was going to take a break and that we’d be back March 23rd. It was the Full Moon in Virgo, spring break, Mercury in retrograde was ending, people were eyeing their horoscopes and I was gearing up to hold a little cacao ceremony. I used to do track, so I know every second counts. Fourteen days later and it really does feel like that. There are indoor protocols to washing hands after touching certain things and drinking herbal teas every twenty minutes given the nature of the virus never mind going outside safe for an early morning run and buying resources when needed. This episode with Travis Pied, founder of Lume, is reminiscent of a time when “wellness” was more so a lax term, shiny branding, an optional powder for the pantry, yet in releasing this episode I do find that it carries an important message. Travis, growing up in a familial setting in which a parent struggled with chronic medical conditions, experienced a shared effort in supporting, healing, and connecting as a community. From this, has stemmed a vision in which Travis took a very much loved staple, our Granola, and infused it with vitamins and adaptogens. Here you had a guy spending his college nights in the kitchen, concocting herbal, adaptogenic and vitamin and mineral-rich snacks in bountiful amounts. There was the lavender incident among many other questionable infusions. His roommates were the guinea pigs. But you know what, soon they started to feel and see the effects of what the crazy herb kid was DIYing. This episode conveys with it a degree of luxury and earnestness with regards to our well-being, is an ode to the human spirit, and that in times like these we pull together in a sense that goes above and beyond physical proximity.

Plates clattering, cutlery clinking….that is, if you use cutlery because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love some good finger food, or using their fingers in general. Nothing beats a good slurp either. And you know what, pass the chocolate while you’re at it. Extra dark. We need to consume energy before we expend it. What allows you to wear the pants in the relationship between mind, body, and soul? Introducing a new segment, Eating with Intention, in which we’re invited into the domestic musings of each guest as they go about their kitchen habits, brewing up an elixir, or plating their next meal. For this inaugural episode, we’ll be sitting down with Liz Smithers, founder of Laka Living, yogi, and first-time momma. With a baby, a business, and hubby, presence, and efficiency is key. She eats for brain oomph, beauty, detox and sleep on a budget. Staying true to one of Laka’s main tenants, listen in on how this lady “Eats the Earth.” This is Eating with Intention with Liz Smithers.

Today we’re sitting down with Joey van Koningsbruggen, founder of Jimmy Joy and Sapiens. Food and fuel. Sometimes we just want the fuel. No grocery runs, no need to think about what to eat, what the meal’s going to be made up of. Heck are we being healthy, am I bothered, do I even have the time or dime to intentionally put towards what’s going on my plate!? Joey kind of threw me a curveball here in that he was helming this whole other nootropics business, Sapiens, besides Jimmy Joy. So, though we mainly discussed the elephant in the room here i.e. food, it’s benefits, the drawbacks, overall lifestyle, and longevity, you know, the whole spiel, note that the guy’s also got the brain on the mind. See what I did there. Anyway, listen in on how Joey went from prepping and blending his own concoction of eggs and whatnot, to providing, and I quote, “Easy and tasty nutritionally complete meals that give you more time and energy to do what you love.”   What goes into our mouth is a tricky subject. Often fraught with emotions of all kinds, safety, symbolism, self-worth. I do want to put a disclaimer out there that this episode more so focuses on the efficiency of a meal, rather than the partaking of what we traditionally perceive to be the preparation of a meal. This being said, this episode may come as triggering to some listeners. This is Ep 34 Lifestyle Longevity or Longevity of Lifestyle with Joey van Koningsbruggen.

Today we are sitting down with Lindsay Berman, property manager, dog mom to Peggie the Papillon, and the behind the scenes lady at Dark Horse Organic. There are fundamental things that bind us and to this earth, our physical vessel and the food we consume to nourish it being two of them. And yet, so many of us have had, or do have, a very distorted relationship with the two. Some make the argument that this warring on ourselves is more so prevalent in the West where it’s nothing but a manifestation of privilege. And yet, that begs the question, why must a state of privilege, where food and water, and all that is necessary to live comfortably and deservedly so, foster an inwards turmoil where we start viewing the tools we have been given as unworthy, not enough, or something that will harm our being in some way. Lindsay addresses the ill-fitting human we’ve all seen staring back at us in the mirror, and the fear, stress, or shame surrounding said human’s plate. And then we start to discuss the things she’s interested in, how she invests and expands out into the world around her, and you realize that you’re listening to someone who is making peace; finding that in letting go, she found herself. And that’s not something you can find in a mirror, on a scale, or on a plate. We’re born into a state of abundance, and through a well-cultivated, if not entirely intentional, capitalist culture and prescribed way of living, we are made to feel otherwise. It can’t be taken, but it os our’s to give. This is Ep 33 Ancient Wisdom Modern Times with Lindsay Berman.

Happy New Year!!! We're ushering in 2020 with our first guest of the season, Michael Ventura, founder of design agency Sub Rosa, Corvus Medicine Practitioner, and author of the book, “Applied Empathy: The New Language of Leadership”. Empathy, is perhaps in its truest form, the separation of one’s ego, to the best of our ability, in relating to that of our neighbor. It was Alfred Adler (1870 - 1937), Austrian Psychotherapist and founder of The School of Individual Psychology who, in the simplest of terms, gave me my earliest understanding of the concept, “Seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.” Through the toil and discomfort of being in the human skin, many of us come to realize and understand the children we are, therefore the child, essentially, sitting across from us; whether that be the middle-aged man in a boardroom, our own partner, or the youth still defined by the body of one. A cognizance of oneself optimizes our capacity to connect with one another; a relearning of one of the many languages we seem to have lost along the way. I won’t say we’ve cracked the code, but to be practiced in empathy makes for an invaluable asset both in career and personal affairs. Michael’s track record only serving as a further reflection of this, with the likes of Google, Nike, and The Obama Administration amongst his agency’s clientele. And yet, perhaps more importantly, it may be that we’re coming to see our neighbor for the very first time. This is Ep 32 Conversations Had In Public with Michael Ventura.

We LOVE lists. Crossing out your to-do’s. It’s delicious. But when we contemplate these daily tasks, our long-term checkboxes, the five-year plan, our dreams, is it a reflection of ourselves? Or merely a compilation of that which we hold ourselves accountable to as an immediate consequence of comparison? This dialogue with Ahmari, as much as it communicated on the spectrum that speaks more so to the juggling act that is study, work, internship, having a social life; it holds the zest of someone who didn’t just find herself there. She made it so. Through intentionally allowing herself to have that space. There’s a difference between being stuck in the confines of an endlessly jam-packed schedule rooted in comparison, and an endlessly jam-packed schedule rooted in authenticity. This girl has a twenty-year plan, holds late-night DIY denim sessions, is a self-taught multi-linguist, and, without a doubt, is going to slay the courtroom in style.

Today we’re sitting down with Ahmari Alford. College student. Double major in anthropology and international studies with a concentration in the Middle East and North Africa. Pre-law track. Interning at an International relations firm whilst working the stationery retail circuit (can you hear my little artist heart going badump badump!?). Pure human dynamo in the form of a Man Repeller muse and total style maven. We talk a little on the ways in which we are shaped and molded, how our geographical locations play a part in this, and the performative and personal dialogues we hold with ourselves whilst engaging with the world around us. As an academically accelerated individual, what does that compartmentalization look like? Education, extracurricular, community service, a multitude of sports, friends, internships, work, health. Jokingly, but not so jokingly, I suggested Ahmari throw running the podcast in there too. So when there’s so much feeding your identity, how do you make sure you’re still showing up as you? From the mind and heart of someone who’s transitioning into womanhood, I like to think of this episode as a precursor to the New Year. That through Ahmari, we see the endless multifacetedness within us, and all we have to do is answer. This is Ep 31 Yellow Brick Road PART 1 with Ahmari Alford.

Ep 30 PART 2 with Puno Dostres coming through!! So at this point I assume you’ve had a right earful of all that this versatile woman has done, is doing, has planned. If not, then why are you here!? You don’t just skip to the end of a book, or google how the movie ends! Anyway, a term I picked up during the editing of this ep and have been using an obnoxious amount since has been “hustle porn”. And, if in true Monday fashion you’re already feeling overwhelmed, you feel this describes your day-to-day down to a T, then let me leave you with this. You have permission to step away from it. And know that you are entirely worthy of that. Puno reminded me of this and is doing so for many. This is Ep 30 Slashie This Way with Puno Dostres.

Today we’re sitting down with Puno Dostres web designer, digital creative, entrepreneur, and founder of ilovecreatives, People Map, Made With Map, and proud mama of Muad’Dib the cat. So your Pinterest boards, they equal having your shit together right? You got your home decor, the dream office, snazzy style references, maybe a pet board; and obviously the lifestyle that’s going to facilitate all of this!? Cue Puno. Unbeknownst, you may have heard this one’s contagious laughter from a distance (unmistakable once committed to memory), or perhaps you’re a little more intimate with the comings and goings of the queen slashie herself. It’s almost been five years since Puno first graced my then-teenage self’s screen, looking to youtube as a form of escape and community AKA vlogs. I saw someone who, in the light of day, had her shit together in the way that only my Pinterest boards spoke of. This chick had her ducks in a row. But the grass is always greener on the other side, and that’s not what we’re here to preach. Fast forward five years, Puno mentions that people from the outside looking in, say that the way with which she’s set up and navigates her life, almost seems like magic. And it is a little. But the good news is is that we don’t need to go all the way to Diagon Alley to stock up on the stuff; you already got it. It’s your essence, your zest. Before we get into what you’re bringing to the table, it’s about whether you want to be sitting at the table at all!? God forbid I look at the entirety of my life outside of career and finances, and see myself worthy of such. Honestly, this episode was as much of a rabbit hole moment for me, as it was in somewhat delivering a cohesive podcast ep. What can I say, it’s easy to get lost in other people’s brains. So there’ll be two parts. From Houston’s suburbs, her time at Activision and spearheading the Call of Duty franchise, to being a keynote speaker at the recent Girlboss Rally, and the exploration of self via the Meisner acting technique. Basically, threading together a dialogue through which we question the ecosystems of work-life-play and how it should fit around us, not us it #sustainableslashie This is Ep 30 Slashie This Way with Puno Dostres.

Today we’re sitting down with Kitty Travers, founder of La Grotta Ices, teacher at The School of Artisan Food, and someone who’ll put your childhood frozen treats to shame. Now I realize that releasing an episode all about ice cream in October may not seem like the most “duh” thing to do, but it is when said ice creams are seasonal, local, and this months’ flavors happen to be Bergamot Cream, Rye Rum Raisin, and Nectarine de Vigne. Halloween who!? From London to New York and back again, with many Italian layovers in-between, I can’t think of a better way than to rein in this season’s chill with a few well-deserved scoops of brain freeze à la Kitty. She operates from out of her “ice cream shed”, macerating, steeping, churning out ice creams that taste of an ecosystem in its entirety; provoked by the use of whole foods, the pits and leaves, the unapologetic value of fats, and smatterings of herbs. Hint, tomatoes, and seaweeds have a place in these palettes too. Attention all earbuds on how to serve with intention, navigating the tastebuds of children all too easily bedazzled by branding, and how beyond what turns up on your plate, the farmers market makes for a place of human connection and presence.
