#12 - Matthew Sutton: Be More Active and Less Passive
I'm excited to have Matthew Sutton join me on episode 12! Matt studies Applied Mathematics-Computer Science and plays on the Division 1 NCAA team at Brown University. Most, if not all, top competing athletes are told they need to give up so much for their sport. In recent years discussions and awareness have been surfacing about athletes mental health and how we can do better. I believe Matt is a leader at this table. We talk about finding other outlets in your life - you are not just one career -, meditation/journaling, and being more active than passive in your life.

#7 - (Pt. 2) Callie Dunham: full yogi nomad mode and no more pharmaceuticals
On this episode Callie Dunham dives into her experience of a spontaneous move to a Costa Rican community. If you have not listened to her part one, I suggest you take the opportunity to do that now. Though, here in part two, we explore her new business Wild and Sovereign, and how she was led to cultivate the product line sold. The topics that are spoken about are really eye opening to the power of plants, and how toxic pharmaceuticals can be for us. Callies is devoted to lending her hand out, in order for people to take the leap toward a better and more grounded life; it is truly inspiring. Some other topics that are touched on are why calories don't matter, eating organic is a privilege, and becoming a yogi nomad.  Callies Socials Wild & Sovereign IG: @wildandsovereign Personal IG: @calliemaa Mauras Socials Instagram: @lilmauradat  Netflix documentaries:  1.
