In a world where too many women feel pitted against one another, I am constantly in admiration of Lauren as a friend and her ability to constantly show up for those she loves. We talk about how to make friends in the “real world”, how to be a caring friend, and her newest venture, co-founding The Good Glow. Listen to the FF & Friends episodes we mention featuring the other ladies of our friend group: Ep 24: Ashley La Fond (@ofspaceandmind) on Organizing Your Life Ep 27: My Friend, Emily Bina, on Losing a Loved one to Suicide Ep 52: My Friend, Julia Paliare, on Living a Balanced Lifestyle Follow Lauren: Instagram: @lvwhatley @goodglowco Website: thegoodglow.co (use code freckledfoodie20 for 20% off) Follow me: Instagram: @freckledfoodie Website: freckledfoodie.com TikTok: freckledfoodie Twitter: @freckledfoodie Youtube: Cameron Rogers / Freckled Foodie Pinterest: Freckled Foodie This episode was edited by Tim Flanzbaum Hosted on Acast.

On this episode, I talk to health and wellness expert Kate Spies about Well+Good’s predicted 2021 wellness trends. We discuss COVID’s influence and impact on the wellness industry, and the shift to more accessible fitness, telemedicine, teletherapy, and self-care. We discuss the pre-COVID exclusivity portrayed around products and services in the wellness industry, and how COVID has made people realize they don’t need these expensive things to feel healthy.

On this episode, Briana and I discuss the intense similarities of our pregnancies, our thoughts on maternity leave as an entrepreneur, and shifting our lives with surprise pregnancies. We dive into not feeling connected to our bodies during pregnancy, our feelings of loneliness and depression at points, and the pivotal moments that finally gave us that feeling of excitement. We talk about going into labor, how you set the tone for your delivery room, and what to expect postpartum. We also get into loss of identity during pregnancy and stances on putting our children on social media.

On this episode, Sarah and I discuss the behind the scenes of being a content creator. We talk about the monetary components, creativity required, and hours spent working for yourself versus at a corporation. We compare our experiences transitioning from corporate America to the non-traditional workforce world, our qualms with “adulting”, and the reality of burnout. We also talk about Covid’s impact on people’s ability to plan, and using planning as a method to combat anxiety.

On this episode, Aleen, Sami and I discuss the problems with the “new year new you” mentality. We discuss our intentions going into the new year, our mindset changes, and coming to the realization that there is more to life than having the ideal body and constantly dieting. We talk about our continually evolving relationships with working on ourselves, and finally getting to a place where we are not comparing ourselves to others, especially before and during pregnancy.

Before we have this conversation regarding cannabis, I must also acknowledge the racial injustice of the industry. As stated by the Last Prisoner Project, “no one should remain incarcerated or continue to suffer the collateral consequences of prohibition and the War on Drugs, which has and continues to disproportionately impact communities of color.” To donate to LPP, which is a nonprofit coalition of cannabis industry leaders dedicated to bringing restorative justice to the cannabis industry, donate here.
