The Chia Podcast

Jenna Chia
I'm a youtuber and podcaster plagued with a curiosity for all things sustainable, fair-trade & plant-based. I like to call it conscious living. One of the most exciting, empowering things we can do for ourselves is to take back our control. The control of what we consume, control of what we think. I've been plant-based, leaning vegan for three years with a recent interest in political fashion. It simply fascinates me how we can all learn to support businesses and institutions that lift up others instead of oppressing them. I like to call it conscious consumption. The Chia Podcast aims to educate and empower on the topics of food, fashion and technology, with a dash of humor and a sprinkle of sass. Whether you're an urban jungle freak or a green peace, grass-roots, kombucha brewing hippy, this podcast is sure to hold your attention. Youtube: Jenna Chia Instagram: @jenna.chia
Jenna Chia #12: Why all Mushrooms are Magical: A Brief Survey of Mushies and All Their Power
This episode has arrived! The podcast about all things mushroom! There's a wealth of information here from the function of mushrooms, their healing modalities, their solution to solving manmade problems, a discussion about magic and medicinal mushrooms, the philosophy behind them, and more! As thorough as I tried to be, this episode merely scratched the surface of what mushrooms are really capable of. I could have said more, but may this episode wet your palette to mycophilia. Please support Paul Stamets and all the work he and his colleagues are doing. It's so important. Watch Fantastic Fungi, listen to the podcasts he's been featured on, go down the rabbit hole of reading all the books to learn more! I mentioned Terrance Mckenna alongside Paul Stamets, and you can find all of his content throughout the web. The supplement company I mentioned in the podcast was Rainbo Mushrooms, a very wholesome company with an amazing story!

Jenna Chia #11: Why Twilight is Good but also Very Bad (Midnight Sun Review)
Please don't listen to this episode. It's exactly about what it says it's about. We are discussing Midnight Sun, Twilight has a phenomenon, calling out Stephanie Meyer, revisiting the actors ~where are they now~, reading some memes and getting more at peace with Twilight as its meaning has transformed alongside a woke culture. Basically, white girl realizes Twilight is inherently problematic and here's why. (Why also we still can't help but enjoy Twilight as an entity)

Jenna Chia #9 - Representation in Motherhood and Female Entrepreneurship
This episode is about finding your workflow as a mom. How can we make entrepreneurship as inclusive, nurturing and uplifting as motherhood can be? What's it like to become a mom? What does it really take? And how can we navigate the two? In this episode I recount what this past year of new motherhood has looked like and how I juggle it with my coaching business. I discuss all the ups and downs of the past year and what I have felt are the most important things to prioritize along the way. We talk breastfeeding, shame around motherhood, co-sleeping, post-partum life, being the only one in your friend group to be the one in said group in a traditional marriage with a kid, etc. Ultimately, how I am processing these transitions and making peace with my new role, regardless of my past conditioning and false preconceived notions around motherhood in general. Spoiler: You are allowed to create your life and business around your authentic energy. It doesn't have to look the same as the what you think business is "supposed to look like". The same goes for motherhood. Enjoy :)

Jenna Chia #7 - The Doula of You - Mother, Father & Sister Wounds - Healing Generational Trauma
Jenna Chia #7 - The Doula of You - Mother, Father & Sister Wounds - Healing Generational Trauma This episode was requested by a follower who wanted to hear me discuss father wound, mother wound and sister wound and how we can find modalities to heal from them. I felt like telling my story a bit about how father wound affects me and how I've been re-parenting and finding the motivation to break generational curses to transmute wisdom for my growing family. I also discuss the word "doula" and prime the listener for later discussions on the taboos surrounding birth, sex and death. After working through a lot of my own labor/birth trauma, I have become fascinated with advocating for womxn who will give birth. I hope you like this episode, please like, rate and subscribe!

Jenna Chia #5 - Finding Connection, Relationships & Loneliness Q&A
In today's episode, after fielding some questions from the Jenna Chia audience, I compiled a list of questions to answer. Some questions include: Why do we need people? How can we end bad relationships and foster new ones? How can I put myself out there and meet new people? How can I get over a break-up? How can I feel less lonely? This episode is meant to encourage you to prioritize self-work and to find a deeper meaning as to why we all should find whatever modalities we need to heal from past traumas. The path of personal growth and development is incremental and non-linear, but it is worth every step.
