October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we are grateful to bring you this conversation with Judy King as she shares her experience with the disease. Her mother, who passed away from metastatic breast cancer, was the first in her family to be tested for the mutation in her BRCA gene - a mutation that drastically increases the likelihood of developing breast cancer. As a result, many in her family also chose to get tested, including Judy. After Judy also tested positive for the BRCA mutation, she decided to undergo a preventative double mastectomy to hopefully block the cancer from ever appearing. She has chosen to authentically share her journey of health with us and so many others, in the hopes of continuing her mother's legacy of life-saving education.

This week we break down MK's bachelorette weekend and discuss the importance of continuing to foster community as adults. XOXO, Molli & MK

When Jera Foster-Fell started her Instagram account in 2014, her intention was to create a space for connection and accountability as she worked toward new fitness goals. Over the last 5 years, the account has evolved right along side her. From her journey to become a SoulCycle Instructor, to sharing life post-Soul as her goals and vision has grown and changed; Jera authentically connects to her community and inspires joy and healing in all her spheres of influence. 

This week we bring you our conversation with Dr. Jess Hinojosa, a PhD educated scientist who took her love for the earth and her passion for environmentalism to...a big oil company? As Dr. Jess explains, what we need right now as we continue to combat climate change is by galvanizing our spheres of influence (work, home, local and federal governments) and demand larger scale change. She gives us the basics of climate change and a road map for what we can do to help reduce some of that carbon footprint.  

As her birthday fast approaches, Molli let's us in on her theme for this new year of life and we chat about the long but worthy word of getting a PhD in ourselves.  XOXO, Molli & MK

This week, we talk about how we've lovingly and compassionately called bullshit on ourselves recently. WE'RE DONE! We're dropping the old tired stories that have kept us in the repetitive cycles. We're sharing the habits and behaviors we've adopted over the last few weeks that are keeping our vibes high! XOXO, Molli & MK

We're back! And we can't wait for you to hear our interview with Pete Roller. In addition to being a Bay Area lululemon ambassador, Pete was also one the driving forces for the formation of the San Francisco chapter of Back on My Feet. Back on My Feet is a nonprofit organization that works to combat homelessness through the power of running, community support and essential employment and housing resources. Pete describes how his search for community and connection in a new city led him to Back on My Feet, and how his time volunteering with the organization helped him clarify his values, and find alignment in all areas of his life. After you give the episode a listen, please check out Back on My Feet and ways to get involved! We will see you out there!

Time flies when you're having fun and you're figuring things out! We blinked and suddenly we've been thriving for 6 months. So we wanted to take a pause and reflect on this ride and what we've learned so far. Here's to the next 6 months!  XOXO, Molli & MK

Here's your recipe for how to listen to this week's episode: First, follow Chef Laura Lea of @lauraleabalanced on Instagram. Next, pick out a delish dish from the plethora of healthily reimagined southern comfort food she has concocted. Then, press play on this interview as you get to cooking and get inspired by this chef's story. Ever since Chef Laura Lea found healing through holistic cooking, she has been on a mission to empower other women to find their own healing through food. In addition to being a phenomenal chef and author, Laura Lea is also a thoughtful entrepreneur who has carved out a meaningful career and purpose filled life by trying things, trusting her intuition, and surrendering to the timing of her life. 

A quick comment Molli made the other morning helped MK see the rest of her day through a lens of miraculous abundance. It's easy to let ourselves focus on only noticing the problems or the things that might not be going according to plan. Can you challenge yourself this week to notice the miracles that are happening every moment? How does it change the energy of your days? We'd love to know how a fresh perspective feels for ya!  XOXO, Molli & MK

Listening to Makshya Tolbert speak feels like listening to a beautifully written piece of prose, which is one of the many reasons we feel fairly certain we'll be reading a book written by her some day soon enough. In our conversation, Makshya opens up about her journey from the classroom to the farm, the lessons she has learned from tending to the land, and the regenerative nature of grief. There is so much healing and wisdom in her words and insights. You can follow along with Makshya on Instagram @processdaily, as she continues to farm, cook, create incredible ceramic pieces, and share her beautiful words with the world.

Inspired by our friend, and former guest, Jenny Gaither's Instagram post from earlier this week, we chat today about some of the obstacles we encounter in our quest for inner peace and the liberation that comes from letting ourselves off the hook and trusting that we are enough, and we are exactly where we are supposed to be. XOXO, Molli & MK
