Active Ingredient Podcast

Ahhhhh Active Ingredient is officially back! I MISSED YOU and doing this so much. Truly. Today's solo is an update on what's been going on with me since taking space from the pod, what to expect from the show moving forward, some big fat learnings I've had during this time, the importance of actually applying the the things that you're learning and experimenting with them, giving yourself (and myself) permission to begin again (and again and again and again), remembering why we do any of this work to begin with and doubling down on the things that feel TRUE/continuing to shed anything that no longer fits. ALSO - at the end of the episode I'm introducing our new presenting sponsor, Autobiographer (!!!) Autobiographer is the first-of-its-kind app that uses an AI guide to help you capture and preserve your life story. The app encourages self-reflection and personal growth by prompting you to record meaningful moments and insights of your daily life which could not be more aligned to the mission of this show! They are giving all AI listeners 20% off your subscription with code ACTIVE20 at checkout. Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/autobiographer/id6469733133

Hiii!!! It has been a MINUTE but I am back with a little appetizer solo episode before fully bringing back the show in the fall (mid-September to be exact) and it just feels so good to be reconnected on here. I have seriously missed you/this and taking the space made it abundantly clear to me that this outlet is one I want to continue to pour into so THANK YOU for the space and for returning to listen. In this solo I'm getting into a little bit behind why I needed to take space to begin with, personal life transitions, slight energetic shifts that have felt like massive wins and what to expect from the show come September. Beyond grateful for you always. If you want to connect online - @activeingredient and @sophieiweill is where you can find me and if you ever want to move with me, I have some short yoga/body connection videos on my YouTube page here: https://www.youtube.com/@sophieiweillSENDING YOU SO MUCH LOVE and wishing you a beautiful rest of your summer!!! <3333xxSophie

This week's interview is with the incredible Maria Marlowe also known as the Acne Nutritionist who is a certified holistic nutritionist and founder of my now go-to probiotic called Glow Biome. Her skin nourishing recipes and insights have been featured in the New York Times, Vogue and so many other outlets. I am just such a fan of Maria's, what she does and creates and how she educates in such a thoughtful way on a topic that most of us (including me) have felt very helpless on. In this episode we're getting into where acne is coming from, what our skin is trying to tell us/how we can listen to the inner communication going on, the connection between our gut health and our skin health, the pros/cons of medication and most importantly we get into the mindset shifts that we can all gently work towards to move from a place of being at war or at battle with our skin to a more loving, nurturing and patient place to ultimately listen and then act on what we hear.*GIVEAWAY* - if this episode resonates with you, post the episode to your stories on Instagram tagging me (@sophieiweill) and Maria (@mariamarlow) and we will be selecting 3 listeners to receive Glow Biome which is the best probiotic for acne prone skin on the market that I have been taking for the past few months. Link to Maria's IG: https://www.instagram.com/mariamarlowe/Link to Glow Biome: https://www.kumaglow.co/products/glow-biomeLink to Maria's 3 day plan: https://mariamarlowe.com/clear-skin-plan/Link to Sophie's IG: https://www.instagram.com/sophieiweill/Link to Active Ingredient YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZKo8SEpPpcGXCsf_F-Uo2QLink to Active Ingredient's IG: https://www.instagram.com/activeingredient/

Today's solo is about taking the next best step towards where you want to go. So often when we're starting to get clear on where we want to be, the overwhelm sets in and paralyzes us to the point of not taking steps so I wanted to put together a little solo talking about the importance of self regulating, taking a breath and committing to the tiniest of steps.

This week's episode is not about our presidents but instead it's about how we can start owning being our own presidents of our lives/decisions. Today's episode is a short reminder that we get to make executive decisions, big and small, every single day and vote with our dollars/attention on the kind of world we want to see.

Solo episode on Howard Thurman's incredibly important quote and what makes you come alive. His quote and overall philosophy is truly the backbone of what I'm up to on this show and I just want to continue to bring that to the forefront as much as I possibly can. Hope you enjoy and if you did, it would be so helpful if you could give the show a 5 star rating wherever you listen!

This week's topic is about something that I've been thinking about for over 3 years and that is about the concept of shadow careers - what they are, why we do them and how to start choosing to step into what you ACTUALLY want to be doing vs. a "safer" periphery career. I also get into this week's tennis lesson that reminded me the importance of keeping your eye on the ball and only on the ball! Please take 2 seconds to give the show 5 stars right here wherever you listen! Click on the show and then quickly give it a 5 star - it helps the show a ton and keeps me going to know that it's resonating with you :)Link to YouTube where you'll find video podcasts + 5 minute reset movement videos by Sophie: https://www.youtube.com/@sophieiweillLink to Sophie's IG: https://www.instagram.com/sophieiweill/Link to Active Ingredient's IG: https://www.instagram.com/activeingredient/Link to Steven Pressfield on Tim Ferris: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/501-steven-pressfield-on-artists-journey-wisdom-little/id863897795?i=1000510784746
