I'm joined by the powerful and magical force that is Florencia Fridman, co-founder of Cacao Laboratory (my favorite cacao brand that has changed my life) and cacao guide/educator. In this episode we're talking about the medicine of cacao and working with the plant to help heal and open your heart, calibrating to new levels of peace, learning to receive (why is this so hard lol?), how shifting from caffeine to cacao has helped me so much with creating from a grounded place and we get into all things building an intentional and rooted brand while also thinking of scaling to serve the masses. A very complete AI episode <3 Love love it.

Topics Covered: Postpartum depression, psychedelics and ketamine therapy, pre/pro/post biotics, gut healthy and gut diversity and building a supplement brand in integrity. This week's episode is with Anabel Gonzalez, founder of the recently launched hyper intentional pre, pro and post biotic brand called Good Bacteria. Anabel founded Good Bacteria after a profound postpartum recovery that showed her how deeply gut health shapes healing. Her work bridges science, design, and lived experience to explore how reconnecting with our bodies and our environment can help restore balance, vitality, and a healthy gut.Link to YouTube for Video Podcast: HERELink to Good Bacteria to try for yourself: HERETo connect with Anabel: HERETo connect with Sophie: HEREFor more podcast clips/intentional reminders: HERE

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/
