Topics: Navigating Heartbreak, The Creative Process, Pivoting, Movement and Taking Up SpaceWe have Teya Kepila on the show also known as @theturmerictimes on social and she is just such a ray of light. Teya is an incredibly talented ceramicist and artist based in Brooklyn who I highly highly recommend following if you love nourishing, regulated content which is quite rare these days. I've been following her work for a few years now and you know when someone online just really resonates with your soul? That is exactly how I've felt about her and having this conversation solidified that resonance so much more.In this episode we are chatting about heartbreak, body acceptance, shifting identities, movement, how to find and protect the spark that makes you come alive, we get into her creative process and about giving yourself permission to be an artist. I deeply deeply enjoyed this conversation and hope you do too.Link to the Active Ingredient YouTube Channel for video podcasts (videos are released on Thursdays): https://www.youtube.com/@sophieiweillLink to breakup YouTube video we reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQyyVjjh1YcLink to connect with Teya: https://www.instagram.com/theturmerictimes/Link to connect with Sophie: https://www.instagram.com/sophieiweill/Link for more Active Ingredient clip reminders: https://www.instagram.com/activeingredient/Link to my brand building agency: https://www.nudenationrelations.com/

In this solo episode, I’m talking about creative clarity and creating what you deeply crave/what you actually want to see in the world and having the courage to do it. Whether it’s a business, a product, experience or art, this is a lil reminder episode to get honest with yourself on if you're the one to actually create it and if the answer is yes, it's your encouragement to plz go for it <3 ilyyyyyLink to my IGLink to Active Ingredient's IGPiano PianoNude Nation

If you have been trying to figure out how to build and market your business in alignment and struggle with doing that on social media, this episode is for you. This week, I'm joined by Harry Doull, the founder of Keap Candles, which is a NY-based Benefit Corporation started in 2015 and was inspired by a philosophical question: In an always-on world, how can we reconnect with ourselves and restore our balance with nature? Through artistry and regenerative practices, Keap’s candles have evolved to create what they couldn't find anywhere else: all-natural luxury candles that don't sacrifice scent quality or performance.His biggest message to the active ingredient community is this: if you're finding a sense of internal misalignment with social media in business and or in your personal life, it is possible to operate without it (as we have been for the past 5 years) — and in fact grow a stronger, more resilient business in the process.In this episode we are getting into building and marketing in alignment, alternative ways to connect and grow your community in a nourishing way, the power of candles and the element of fire and committing to your own inner vision even if it clashes with the norm. Keap is offering all Active ingredient listeners 10% off your first order when you use code FINDYOURWHY at checkout - my favorite scents are Wood Cabin and Wild Figs.*GIVEAWAY* We will also be gifting a candle to 1 active ingredient listener who rates and reviews the show on apple and spotify - all you have to do is submit your review and send a screenshot to my personal IG and you enter to win! I'm currently burning my candle and it really is a goodie. Time Stamps:07:14 - The decision to get off of social media entirely17:35 - Building offline connections with your community and the impact on the business24:16 - The future of social media and alternative platforms emerging30:07 - The bigger role candles play in building connection 40:38 - listening and acting on inner guidance and long-term vision in business55:27 - natural candle making and what makes Keap different Links: To connect with me: @sophieiweillTo check out Active Ingredient clips: @activeingredientNude Nation Piano Piano CeramicsKeap Candles

In this solo episode, I'm chatting about what it feels like to be in the brew phase of an idea. The space between the idea/download and the execution of it where things are alive inside of you but not yet in the world.

To figure out what your Human Design is get your Human Design Chart HERE​In this episode, we're getting into Human Design as a tool for self understanding/acceptance, trusting when things feel easeful/downstream, following your own curiosities and of course we get into each one of the designs and practical next steps for each one.
