Everything Women Need to Know About Amino Acids, Protein, Strength Training, and Smart Supplements (Liz Plosser)

On today's episode I'm chatting with Dr. Jill Blakeway, best-selling author and functional medicine practitioner. She’s the Founder of Yinova Centre in New York and is known as one of the top functional medicine practitioners in the city. She specializes in the field of fertility, so it was really interesting to discuss how functional medicine can be used to address fertility issues. Dr. Jill also talks about the really widespread health issues that are particularly common amongst women like imbalanced hormones and insulin resistance. We discuss Dr. Jill’s new book, Energy Healing in-depth. She traveled around the world, both to Eastern energy healers and to top universities doing research in this field. She was commissioned to write this book for the skeptic, so her findings are very much science-backed and will definitely pique a new interest in energy medicine!

On today's episode I'm chatting with Lauren McPhillips, founder of This Renegade Love, a no-filter online space that celebrates the 'renegade life' of turning passions into reality and providing people with actionable steps for business and brand-building. Lauren talks about her life before This Renegade Love and deciding to quit her job and then getting into blogging and content creation. We talk about cultivating a community online through actionable steps and finding your niche. We also get into Lauren’s latest venture, The Renegade Sessions, a four-week workshop series for self-employed women. She takes us through every step from pre-launch testing, to how you can take your business from online to offline. We also chat about creating an email list and diversifying platforms for content creators. Since Lauren has worked both for the brand and as a content creator, she’s full of great tips on the do’s and don’t’s of social media, what brands look for when working with creators, and why its important for creators to not rely on just social media as their main source of income.

On today's episode I'm chatting with Ashley and Mark, the founders of Obé Fitness, a streaming platform which provides a boutique fitness experience for people at home (but believe me when I say it is completely different from any other streaming platform that’s out there). Ashley and Mark’s entrepreneurial journey is truly fascinating because they both used to be Hollywood talent agents before founding Obe. We talk about how they transitioned from working in Hollywood to entering the fitness industry. Ashley and Mark get into details about launching a business from inception to launch. We really get into the nitty gritty, going over how they got instructors on board to how they managed to expand so rapidly. This episode is brimming with lessons for entrepreneurs, and Ashley and Mark provide lots of actionable advice.

On today's episode I'm chatting with Lindsay Ellingson. Lindsay is a supermodel (and former VS Angel), and the co-founder of clean beauty line, Wander Beauty. Wander Beauty is all about streamlining makeup routines and downsizing makeup bags. While their products are beautiful and ‘Instagrammable’, they pride themselves on efficacy (something I can vet, having tried the line). Wander Beauty has been trying to answer the question "what is missing in the beauty world?”, and really addresses the main pain points that women have when it comes to beauty products. Lindsay talks about getting into modelling and then transitioning from supermodel to entrepreneur. Today's episode is a class in entrepreneurship. We go over the whole story, step by step. From having the idea of a 'travel beauty' company to surveying potential customers, then launching with one (yes, just one) product to achieving their first major milestone. It’s a great episode for any budding entrepreneur because we get into the nitty-gritty. We also get into Lindsay’s best skincare tips and tricks, productivity hacks, morning routine, and so much more.

On today's episode I'm chatting with Meagan Williamson. Meagan is a Pinterest consultant who’s workshop I attended last year and who helped me quadruple my blog traffic in just a few months. When I did her workshop, Meagan told us about the time she sold an engagement ring on Pinterest and made a ton of commission, a concept that was lost on me, since up until that point, I used Pinterest to plan my dream house. Moral of the story: Pinterest is the most powerful tool that small business owners can have in their arsenal. Pinterest tends to be one of those things that may mystify and confuse you. You may have heard stories about how great it can be, but you never quite understood how. This episode breaks it all down with actionable tips about how you can take your Pinterest game (and business) to the next level.

On today's episode I'm chatting with Dr. Natalie Mulligan. Dr. Natalie is a naturopathic doctor and eating disorder specialist. We previously spoke on episode #16 about all things alternative medicine related, including natural healing modalities, supplements, how to get off birth control and so much more. Since Dr. Natalie is an eating disorder specialist, on today’s episode, we decided to do a deep dive into the topic. We go over what is considered an eating disorder, common misconceptions around it, and the impact of personality types. We also talk about how to spot an eating disorder and approach someone who you think might have one, the impact that eating disorders have on hormones, a healthy approach to weight loss, and so much more. Eating disorders tend to have a lot of stigma around them, and this conversation is educational and you will most certainly learn a lot.
