EP. 139 - Season Finale Life Updates & What's Keeping Our Summer Fresh

In this long overdue episode, Toni and Michelle jump right into the heart-to-heart, with Michelle sharing vulnerably what it looks like to rebuild a life. They discuss how to create a new vision for the future, including how to start fresh, build new patterns, and find peace and joy.

Toni and Michelle also share about new challenges on the professional side, like navigating tech changes and AI, but also building up a team to allow them to maintain a meaningful mission. So if you’ve wrestled with anything from finding dignity in your work to preventing burnout, you’ll want to listen in!

And of course, this episode wouldn’t be complete without a “what we’re reading/watching/eating.” Toni and Michelle share everything from their favorite noodles, what they’ve been learning about gluten-free, and the book that everyone should read!

And to close it off, they share how much YOU the listener has meant and how special it's been to interact with (and even meet!) listeners.

GLOBAL HEALING

As plant-based eaters, we’re often more mindful about nutrients like B12, and about where our supplements come from, how they’re made, and whether a brand aligns with our values. Global Healing’s whole philosophy is about empowering your body to heal itself, with clean, potent formulas and education to support your journey.

Since 1998, Global Healing has been one of the only companies in the world to produce small-batch, artisanal supplements at a global scale. It has been owned and operated by its founder, Dr. Group, a world-renowned holistic wellness practitioner and educator. And what we really appreciate is how intentional they are about everything, from ethically sourced ingredients and rigorous testing, to small-batch manufacturing and truly bioavailable formulas. They take the “what’s actually in this?” question seriously.
