Welcome to an important conversation on Finding Joy in our health and, more specifically becoming besties with your hormones. Today my guest Dr. Anna dials it all in for us. Dr. Anna is a pharmacist, an expert in gerontology, and a faculty member at USC.
Hormones can challenge us at any age, so in this episode, Dr. Anna and I discuss why they matter so much. We also talk about the alarming increase in rates of autoimmune disease among women and the importance of three factors when combatting the symptoms and side effects of menopause and perimenopause: stillness, movement, and nutrition.
Listen in to learn why our hormones are so important to our overall health, how our gut health is related to our hormones, and which natural remedies Dr. Anna recommends.

Fran Maier’s advice is gold. As the CEO & Founder of BabyQuip, the country’s leading baby gear rental service, Fran is a powerful female entrepreneur and established trend-spotter, so she has a lot of great information to impart.
Today's episode is taken from my Instagram Live Finding Joy Every Day series. I had a great conversation with Emily Raiber, of Emily Raiber Media & Digital Marketing. She leverages social media to promote her clients' personal brands for maximum growth.
This week’s guest, Esther Crawford, was the CEO and Co-founder of the Squad app when it was acquired by Twitter back in 2020. I admire her transparency as she talks with me about her journey to break the cycle of poverty that she grew up in and why her curiosity has driven her forward at such an impressive speed. We discuss what it’s like to consider selling your company and what happens after your business gets acquired. She is aligned, grounded, and a deep thinker. It was a pleasure to sit down with her and explore the entrepreneurial journey with her.
My guest, Melissa Vitelli, had a successful career in fashion photography but she found her herself being drawn to the food industry through her hobby of vegetable gardening. She joined together with her sister-in-law Lauren and Jar Goods was born. They initially found success at Farmer’s Markets and this led them directly into the arms of Whole Foods.
After struggling with acne and skin sensitivity as a teenager, my guest Bethany McDaniel, CEO & Founder of Primally Pure decided to dive deep into the power of real food & natural ingredients. In her deep research and self-education process, she uncovered the knowledge that there were a lot of toxic ingredients found in deodorant which led her on a journey to make her own. She found something that worked for her but unfortunately, her hubby wasn’t too excited to try it so she had to get busy and find another way to win him over. This is when Primally Pure, was born.
