This episode is extra special because today’s guest is the real estate agent who helped my husband and I find our first home.  I won’t get into the whole story about how we met her but needless to say, you never know who you can meet when you’re open to making connections. A random encounter led to us finding Lindsay. Not only did she seamlessly guide us through the homebuying process, making us feel comfortable every step of the way, we’ve also become friends!  Lindsay made a huge career change from software sales to real estate during COVID after realizing she was unhappy with the status quo. After taking all of the necessary steps, cold calling and putting herself out there she landed a job with the Kirsten Jordan team at Douglas Elliman where she is a rising star in the industry and contributed to over $35MM in real estate transactions.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing my decade long experience working to heal my relationship with myself and specifically my body image. I share how I knew it was time to make a change, what I was feeling and doing during that time period, the negative rhetoric in our society around “the smaller the better” when it comes to women’s bodies, and “less is more” when it comes to food, the small steps I took that led to bigger change, what I learned, and how I feel today.  Holiday gift guides  My Gift Guide: https://shopmy.us/haileydmiller/gift-guides Chairish  Tappan Collective  Morning quiet - using meditations from my oura ring or insight timer.

David Jacobowitz is a marketer turned chocolatier…well actually he impressively still does both. He is the founder and sole employee of Nebula snacks. As a self-proclaimed super snacker he found himself taking his sweet tooth to the next level, and maybe a bit too far during COVID….experiencing weight gain, poor sleep and inflammation due to excess sugar intake. It was through this that he had the idea to create Nebula a chocolate free of sugar, sugar alcohols and artificial sweeteners.  It took him three years of experimenting to develop his treat for today’s conscious super snacker - chocolate that delivers the flavor without the sugar.  Launched at the end of 2021, Nebula Snacks started with two zero sugar chocolate bars, a dark and an oat milk chocolate. While many enjoyed the chocolates, there was a plethora of feedback from the crew requesting smaller sizes and exciting flavors. Back to the drawing board, it took nearly a full additional year to create the new Nebula Zero Sugar Added Chocolate Bites!   He invites us all to join the sweet rebellion and fight for a healthier snacking future.    During our conversation we discuss:  Falling into entrepreneurship, his journey into the hustle life, and transitioning from marketing to launching his own chocolate brand  How his late night COVID chocolate binges, a passion for snacking and a spark of an idea and turning it into a business How he balances his time having a full-time job and being the only employee of Nebula snacks  Why he wanted to create a low sugar chocolate that’s free from artificial ingredients, which ingredients he uses and the trial and error creating the recipe - how he created the mint flavor is fascinating Gathering customer feedback to define the products and brand  The obstacles he faced in starting a business, embracing a learning mindset to navigate the food industry, and learning how to handle a “no”  The importance of surrounding yourself with likeminded people and how he leans on fellow entrepreneurs for learning opportunities especially around brand building  His future aspirations for Nebula snacks     Use code FIO at checkout at Nebulasnacks.com to receive 15% off.    LINKS:  Follow Nebular on Instagram Nebula Website   Follow Me on Instagram
