Financial freedom expert Kate Northrup is on the show & I'm so psyched for you to hear this episode because she is so smart & insightful.

We get into the nitty gritty financial freedom as well as her personal daily money and health practices.

Illustrator Mari Andrew and I met serendipitously in January. I told her how much her work meant to me and she agreed to do the podcast. In this conversation, we covered “rejection as protection”, her creative routines, money in NYC, feeling vulnerable and raw during breakups, transitions, her specific way of practicing gratitude, and her useful body image advice.

I read Sara’s first book The Way of the Happy Woman years ago and loved her approach of orienting your life with the seasons. I find her to be incredibly present, grounded, and wise so I was excited to connect with her. This conversation was nothing I expected. We talked about grief, change, and heartbreak in a deep way.

Rachelle and I met in her cafe, Supernatural, last year. We covered her path to herbalism, her thoughts on kava, current wellness trends and dangers with that, her style (which I love), anxiety + herbs that help it, body image, heartbreak (and the herbs that can help), and at the end we talk about a productivity tip that’s been extremely useful to me in the past few weeks since the episode.
