Morning Matcha

Our resident astrologer, Danielle Beinstein, joins us for a deep and powerful conversation about the true meaning of astrology — to remember our humanity. As much as we can turn to the stars to help us reorient ourselves, it’s our connection to self, love, each other and the natural world that creates true change. Therefore, you’ll find this episode peppered with current cosmic themes but you’ll find more conversation around critical thinking, moving past cancel culture, rising above divisiveness, political events past and present, and growth and humility. Tune in for a conversation that squarely and maturely stares at current reality without losing sight of love and hope for a more peaceful future.

We’re excited to welcome Jason Schaefer, the owner of Holy Lamb Organics, a bedding and mattress company that carries on a centuries-old tradition of making beautiful textile products by hand. Combining heritage methods with pristine natural and organic materials and sustainable business practices, they bring a dedication to healthy living and the environment to a time-honored approach. Jason himself entered the organic mattress industry after his wife Mindy was having health issues. After swapping out the mattress, Mindy felt better overnight and by the end of the week, she was back to her normal self. It was a painfully obvious "ah ha!" moment, but it changed the course of their lives. Now they run Holy Lamb Organics, trying to help people find healthier sleep options and are both a wealth of knowledge and deeply passionate about their business. Tune in and we guarantee you'll be inspired to make the swap to organic wool for yourself, family, and our planet!

Today, we welcome Carolyn O'Hare, co-founder of Tiny Organics, to THE FULLEST Podcast. Carolyn is well-versed in building and managing companies, formerly running operations at brands like FIJI Water and Beyond Meat. However, now she has turned her talents to Tiny Organics, an early childhood nutrition company focused on shaping baby and toddler palates to prefer vegetables. Since the company started, Tiny Organics have raised $14M in venture capital and have grown to serve customers nationwide. A very impressive feat for a small but mighty team of eight people! All of this is to say that we got to talk to Carolyn about so many of our favorite things from the best ways to nourish our little ones, to the challenges and gifts of running a DTC business during COVID, and the art of balancing life as a founder and as a mom.

On the podcast this week, California artist, designer, and surfer, Serena Mitnik-Miller joins the show.

Equally, if you’re a small business owner, Serena generously shares about her journey and it is both inspiring and comforting to know that even the most successful founders face the same challenges such as working motherhood, a post-pandemic world, and balancing our personal and professional lives day-by-day.

In this episode, we welcome Jason Hommel to the podcast. Jason grew up ski racing in the Sierra Mountains of Lake Tahoe. As an athlete, he understood the toll that the sport can take on the body and the need for recovery. Eventually, this led him to discover the many benefits of copper on the body and to author the book The Copper Revolution: Healing with Minerals. As you’ll hear, minerals are an essential nutrient that we’re all lacking due to soil quality degradation, even if we’re eating an organic, whole foods diet. In particular, copper is a mineral with over 200 healing benefits. Today, we dive into the ancient origins and the reasons we need copper more than ever — plus treatable symptoms and the best ways to add copper to your practice. If you’re interested in deepening your knowledge of copper, make sure to join Jason’s Facebook group!

Birth and death are polar — but equally important parts of life — and yet, there is nowhere near as much financial, medical, and social infrastructure and support for navigating the end of life as there is the start of life. Today’s guest, Liz Eddy, is the founder of Lantern — a company that offers free, custom roadmaps to make sure you or a loved one have everything in order. In this episode, Liz tackles some less spoken about aspects of death and helps us reframe it from something to be feared to something that can actually be empowering. In fact, studies have found that by facing our death and getting everything in order has brought people more peace. This is a really powerful conversation that everyone can benefit from and reminds us that there is an opportunity for us to face our death with care, consideration, and conversation.

Like us, upon hearing this you probably have a thousand questions. We did our best to ask Hilary as much as possible about the Records in this episode — and we learned so much!

In this episode, we sit down with Olivia Amitrano, the founder and creator of Organic Olivia — a vibrant online ecosystem and apothecary built on traditional wisdom, modern herbal medicine, and a brave willingness to explore our opportunities for growth and personal responsibility. Like many wellness entrepreneurs, her journey began as a young child when she found herself at the doctor’s office more often than most, dealing with everything from unbearable stomach pain to chronic cystic acne. She knew deep down that there had to be other options but was told over and over again that diet and lifestyle had nothing to do with her worsening conditions. Organic Olivia was born as Olivia started to seek alternative solutions — only to discover how seemingly separate issues were interconnected at their root. We discuss all of this and more including: - Olivia’s top three herbs for health and well-being - Daily practices that cost nothing and do a lot for our physical, emotional, and mental health - The insane impo

There’s a Blue Bottle coffee shop in most LA, SF and NYC neighborhoods — but it wasn’t always that way.

If you’re an entrepreneur or looking to turn a passion into profit, this episode is full of real words of wisdom from a person that has learned by doing; as James said himself, his early days growing his business was his MBA.

Both of these films explore sovereignty and what it means as individuals to claim authority over our own lives. As a long time fan of Foster’s, we were excited to have him on the podcast and dive into the deeply important issues such as the history of power and corruption; the neverending swing from the right’s position of “freedom” to the left’s position of “fairness” — without making actual change; the death of mainstream media in favor of truth media; and the positive possibility for a no regime future. This is an episode that advocates for truth and freedom. Please share.
