It's the final episode...

Notes from this episode:

Weekly THM newsletter: http://bit.ly/2lA3aPl
My incredible podcast editor, Eilise Bonebright: heyeilise@gmail.com

5 seasons, 130 episodes and so many incredible nuggets of wisdom gained in between but it's officially time to end That's So Maven. As sad as I am to share this, I also know that the time is right. It's been an amazing journey but all good things must come to an end and for the podcast, the time is now.

So in today's episode I'm getting honest about why I've made this decision (there are many reasons) as well as sharing about some big decisions in 2019 and how they will affect this next decade. No new humans to interview, topics to jump into or new wellness trends to explore.

Just me and the mic and my honest truth.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for tuning in. It's been a wild ride and I'm excited to see what's to come in the future. Onwards and upwards!

Is there anything in life more polarizing than body hair? This is particularly true for women who are often judged for having any ounce of hair on their bodies. What about for men? Why are they revered for their body hair and judged for removing it? Today on the show I'm chatting with Breanne Fahs a professor of women and gender studies at Arizona State University and expert on body hair all about it.

So if you've wondered what the deal is with body hair, is it healthy (spoiler alert: YES!) and why we feel so inclined to remove it, this episode is for you. On today's episode we also discuss:

Dr. Fahs' background and her interest in women + gender studies
Why body hair is so polarizing for people
The history of body hair + why women feel the need to remove it
Is body hair clean? The stigma around body hair
Her best tips for being confident with body hair
Her takeaways from challenging her students to grow out their body hair
...and so much more!

After 128 episodes it's probably no surprise to any of you how much I love astrology. We've chatting about astrology many times here on the show but never have we delved into the birth chart and looked at it from an applied perspective. That's why I'm thrilled to welcome Debra Silverman, a psychotherapist, astrology and writer to the show today. She takes a clinical approach to astrology where it's not just predictive horoscopes but how to get to know your inner self better and live life to your highest potential. She helps you get to know you as it is written in the stars. But we also discuss the importance of fate vs. free will and how to find what your true calling and purpose is in life.

Today's episode is a bit different. Rather than just explaining how a birth chart works, Debra is breaking it down for all of you by jumping into my birth chart and sharing some of my inner workings. I hope you enjoy!

On today's episode we also discuss:

Debra's background and how she combines psychotherapy with astrology
Her approach to astrology and how its different from others
What is a birth chart + how are you born with one?
Your sun, moon and rising signs
The 4 elements and what they tell you about yourself
The missing element and what it can teach you
Saturn returns and what you need to know about it
South and north nodes and how you can use them to live life to the fullest
...and so much more!

Episode #83 with Lee Vosburgh from Style Bee

Without question, sustainability is an important and pressing dialogue we all need to be discussing. It's part of the reason you have been seeing more posts about sustainability on THM and in my personal life I've found myself gravitating towards resources that are discussing it. One of the most relatable and empowering of these resources is The Good Trade, a website founded by AmyAnn Cadwell, a leading voice in the sustainability movement, an entrepreneur and social impact angel investor. She wears many hats, but educating the world on how to make more sustainable choices is the primary of them.

The Healthy Maven and That's So Maven has always been a place where we discuss health and wellness and how to take better care of yourself, but you cannot take care of yourself while ignoring the health of the planet. They are one and the same and need equal attention and respect. So today we are chatting about this parallel between sustainability and wellness and how to make everyday choices for sustainability and curb our fast fashion addiction.

On today's episode we also discuss:

AmyAnn's background and getting a degree in social entrepreneurship
Why she launched The Good Trade in 2014 and what inspired her decision
"The True Cost" and how fast fashion became so popular
How to shop more sustainably and her favorite sustainable clothing brands
How to prioritize decision making when it comes to sustainability
Everyday changes we can all implement to live more sustainably
Making sustainability conversations accessible and less scary
...and so much more!

Episode #119 with Sarah Polansky of Prismatic Plants

What is Sugaring Hair Removal? blog post

Medicinal mushrooms?! I know what you're thinking here...but hang with me! This episode is a juicy one. Over the last several years medicinal mushrooms (mushrooms that have benefits for our bodies...not of the magic variety!) have had a huge resurgence. But these incredible fungi are not new and in fact, are likely older than us. So what's the deal with them and are they really that great? Simple answer: Yes. But for the longer answer tune into today's episode with Jeff Chilton, president of Nammex, author of The Mushroom Cultivator and mushroom grower and researcher for over 40 years is on the show today sharing all of his mushroom wisdom.

This was honestly one of the most interesting conversations I've had this year on the show. Not only are we going deep into how mushrooms are grown, the benefits of different varietals (reishi, lion's mane, cordyceps etc...) but we're also discussing the importance of sourcing and what's really in some of the more popular mushroom products out there. On today's episode we're also discussing:

Jeff's passion for mushrooms and what started his 40+ year career In the business
How mushrooms are grown and the difference between mushrooms and mycelium
The nutritional benefits of mushrooms and how to consume them
Does it matter where mushrooms are grown? What about organic?
The different types of medicinal mushrooms and their benefits
How to determine quality of your mushroom products
Starting an organic mushroom farm in China
...and so much more!

Chatting with Tiffany Ima was something I had been looking forward to for a long time. Finally getting the chance to sit down and discuss her journey and experiences ended up being even better than I had imagined. Not surprisingly, we have a lot in common. Tiffany's journey has not been direct (is anybody's?!) and has evolved in a messy, beautiful and very public way. Nevertheless, the most important piece is that she showed up. period.

One of my favorite discussions we have on the show is about exercise addiction and how to use exercise to support your wellness and not as a tool to manipulate and change your body. As someone who struggled with exercise addiction, this part really hit home with me. But there is so much more!

On today's episode we also discuss:

Tiffany's journey and how she started off of a fashion blogger
How being diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder changed the trajectory of her message
From fitness trainer to body-positive activist
Exercise addiction and how to find a healthy relationship with exercise
The benefits of journaling and what "consistency" really means
Why so many creative women struggle with body image
Her best tips for confidence and what simple wellness means to her
...and so much more!

I'm so excited to share today's podcast episode with Taran and Bunny Ghatrora, the co-founders of an incredible company called Blume. I discovered Blume through a mutual friend and fell in love with their concept and how they are changing the game when it comes to period products and self-care. Self-care goes beyond face masks and baths (though I do love me a bath...and face mask!). Self-care is also about accessibility to products for something that 50% of the population experiences...periods.

From acne care, to menstrual cramp solutions and organic period products, Blume is here to solve these problems, and give back along the way. I'm so excited to be sharing this incredible company and their founders here on the show today.

On today's episode we also discuss:

How Blume got started
Accessibility to period products and Blume's partnership with Days for Girls
Puberty and the education for young girls on changes in their bodies
Societal stigma around periods and how to remove it
What's in our period products + the Pink Tax
Sex education and self-care - do they go together?
PCOS and educating young women on it
...and so much more!

You and I may never become Soulcycle instructors but something about Jera Foster-Fell's story will ring true with all of us: What happens when you accomplish your dream and then realize it isn't your dream anymore? From Soulcycle instructor to body positive influencer, Jera's story has taken many turns and she's chronicled it all over on her account Jera.Bean.

On today's show I'm chatting with Jera all about this journey and where she's landed now. We talk about life as an influencer, what a day in her life looks like now and being okay with change even as we confront our own identity.

On today's episode we also discuss:

How Jera fell in love with fitness
Soulcycle and her journey to becoming an instructor (hint: it wasn't easy!)
Deciding she was done with teaching and how to take the leap into another direction
Watching her body change and sharing this journey publicly
What her job actually looks like and the pressures of social media
Where she gets her positivity and confidence from
...and so much more!

THM article, How to Find a Therapist That is Right for You

Weekly THM newsletter: http://bit.ly/2lA3aPl

Check out the Green Beauty Shop!

This episode feels incredibly full circle for me. I remember following Gina Harney's blog all the way back in 2009 while a junior in college. In some ways this feels like the hay day of blogging. I would wake up, grab my coffee and check-in with my healthy living blogs each morning on my google blog reader. The Fitnessista was at the top of this list. 10 years later, Gina is on That's So Maven to chat all about her blogging journey and how the landscape has changed since she first started.

Gina Harney is a personal trainer and group fitness professional. She runs online programs and blogs about her journey over on The Fitnessista. She's also a Mama to two awesome daughters and a wife to who many of us know as "The Pilot". The thing that I love most about Gina is her transparency. She has taught me so much simply by sharing her experiences. From getting her breast implants removed to sharing her postpartum recovery journey, it truly is an honor to have Gina share the mic with me today.

On today's episode we also discuss:

Gina's journey and why she started The Fitnessista
How the landscape of blogging has changed as well as her perspective on health and wellness
The future of blogging and how social media changed the game
Diastasis Recti and her best tips for postpartum fitness and recovery
Why she got breast implants and eventually why she got them removed
Breast plant illness and how to know if you are being affected by it
...and so much more!

If I had a nickel for every fearful thought I experienced in a day I would RICH. In fact I'd probably be a billionaire. Fear...it's what our mind feeds on - or so we think. Though far more difficult, our minds can feed off love, but this means facing our fear and moving forward anyway. Today on the show I'm chatting with Koya Webb, a holistic health coach and yoga instructor all about facing your fears and how to turn obstacles into seeds of growth.

Koya is an internationally recognized yoga teacher, personal trainer, holistic health and wellness coach, author, motivational speaker, and professional fitness model revolutionizing the holistic living landscape. She is known as a “transformational specialist” when it comes to helping people reach their goals—by encouraging sustainable positive lifestyle changes. She believes the most important element in health is Self-Love; from this belief came the creation of Get Loved Up. Get Loved Up encourages clients to practice daily self-care and make healthy living a priority in a fun and accessible way. Get Loved Up aims to lower the number of people with chronic diseases associated with an unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle.

On today's episode we chat about:

Koya's journey and what led her to teach yoga
Radical self love and starting "Get Loved Up"
Increasing diversity in the yoga space and starting her own teacher program
Identifying fear and when the stories you tell yourself aren't true
How to find the courage to tackle your fears even when they paralyze you
What teaching yoga has taught her about life
...and so much more!
