*This conversation is from our pre-Corona recorded episodes but clearly the subject matter is so relevant during this time! Loss. It’s a topic on our minds now more than ever.

Nowadays, we don’t always equate science with healing. Science can save our lives (the greatest innovations have occurred inside of science labs), but it can also be driven by big business and controlled by government regulations. The story you are about to hear is one of scientific innovation, brilliant healing power, and how the two merged together. Welcome to the podcast, our first ever woman scientist, Dr. Annabelle Morgan! Dr. Annabelle has a PhD in Cell and Developmental Biology; she’s a mother of 4, and wife to Grammy Award winning reggae artist, Gramps Morgan. Dr. Annabelle is a cancer researcher, a consultant to both medical science businesses and government, and most importantly, a mother who took her science chops and her powerful intuition, and used it to cure her son of tragic brain-related injury using hemp-derived compounds that she herself made. Now, she works to merge science and the natural space through implementing cannabis and/or plant compounds in general into current modern medicine. Mo

Let’s talk about finding intimacy in the middle of quarantine- to some of us, that is a major challenge right now! Under one roof for many more hours a day than most of us are used to, lines and boundaries are blurred in our romantic partnerships. Finding ways to connect romantically might not seem possible right now…or maybe its something you’re really craving but don’t know how to approach. Whatever the moment is for you, we know many intimate relationships are trying to find their “new normal” during a very abnormal time. That’s why we brought on Rachel Ballard, a marriage and relationship strategist and the host of the “How to Like Your Husband” Podcast to chat with us about all things intimacy and partnership!Through Rachel's authentic content, supportive Facebook community and a hilariously funny podcast - Rachel shows you how to put in the hard work for a successful partnership.Rachel will shine a light on how you can generate loving energy when you’re not sure there is any, and (re)discover the f

Brand messages, content expression, and launch strategies suddenly shifted. Companies quickly pivoted their offerings to virtual spaces and groups are gathering remotely! We have all had to face quick pivots!What we know is there’s stress in the air and a good deal of financial insecurity so anchoring in our authentic brand purpose and strategic messaging is critical. We want the tools to manage our energy and our output so we aren’t merely reacting but instead we are creating for the longterm of our businesses and our selves!  And that’s why we brought in an expert to dive deeper into the topic of branding and marketing in the time of corona. Welcome to the podcast Hillary Weiss, brand consultant, speaker, copywriter and founder of Statement Piece Studio @hillaryweiss.com.

In honor of Infertility Month we are releasing a very special conversation between Randi and Stephanie Cartin, founder of Social Fly and Co-Host of the Entreprenista Podcast.

The Going Beyond podcast is on a mission to unpack  the human emotional, mental and physical experience during this unprecedented time. We want to understand the collective trauma so we can normalize it, dispelling myths and unnecessary confusion around it. We want to provide more connection to our bodies, our emotional life, and with humanity.  Randi has spent years exploring her own life trauma (both big and small) and has done this work most closely with her long-time therapist- so who better to bring onto the show? Kristin Miscall, this week’s guest, has taught Randi about how trauma works, how to explore it within the body, and how to understand our own responses to it. This understanding is critical at a time when the collective and individual nature of trauma is effecting us all.Kristin Miscall has had a private psychotherapy practice in New York City  for over 20 years. She specializes in treating trauma, eating disorders, co-dependency and addictions. She is also the leader of the Undoing Whiteness a

During a time in which many of us feel powerless, here at the podcast, we encourage you to take this time to focus on your overall health and wellness. We know that our strength (body, mind and spirit)  are key components to our immunity and to protecting ourselves to the best of our ability. But we are operating in a system that has empowered the “professionals” and disempowered the individual- how can we re-establish our confidence in our own bodies, our own wisdom, our own intuition? How can we turn to the natural medicines and practices that have allowed a stronger sense of well-being to prevail? We’re curious about the habits we can establish during this time and how they can sustain us for a lifetime of healthy living.For this explorative and upbeat conversation, we welcome two brilliant women to the podcast: Jillian Sommerfeld, a positive life activist, internal strategist for Human Garage LA  and a Wellness Expert/Brand Strategist for a variety of nutrition and wellness brands and Luba Andrus a pharma

We are excited to have Sara & Misasha, the co-hosts of the Dear White Women Podcast on the show today!
