143: Women's Empowerment from WCorp's Geeta Sidhu-Robb
I had a whole different idea of where this conversation would go with Geeta Sidhu-Robb, and I am thrilled to have been wrong about that! I was so happily surprised at the direction, talking about taking your power back, and how menopause is a GIFT to women, because for possibly the first time in our lives, we are forced to put our own needs first - and that was definitely not a thought I had about menopause... Not too long ago Geeta was a newly divorced mom of 3, homeless without a solid plan. Today she is the Founder of WCorp, helping businesses worldwide to certify as supportive to women in many aspects, and has now spoken at the United Nations TWICE and won an award as a thought leader and empowerment coach! Geeta also hosts a podcast called Activate Yourself, and it's nice to have her voice more available to keep in the empowered frame of mind. I am such a big fan of Geeta now! I just loved this conversation, and I couldn't wait to share this with you! You can find Geeta on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/geetasidhurobb/ She's also on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/geetasidhu/ She has her own membership called WComm (just $1/month!): https://www.wcomm.world/offers/TZpyLnPs/checkout If you want your business to become WCorp Certified, learn more here: https://www.wcorporation.org/start?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacIhCfhbyr6pQXVGHeRUGmUUhQoeGj4lEUIogceOPUc65mdYF4G_rp1xerGzg_aem_OREzjnrYU-R1qRLSZ9IpKg You can send me messages(this is new!)!

142: Holistic Veterinary Care with Dr Marlene Siegel
After speaking with Dr Marlene Siegel, more than ever, I want to clone her and help every caring pet parent get the best possible health care for their fur and feathered babies. If you're a pet parent like me, you've probably wondered from time to time if you're giving the best care to your pet. Dr Siegel will set things straight, from her 40 years of experience studying and treating different animals, and heartbreaking and heart warming stories. Dr Siegel always knew she would work with animals, but didn't expect what happened when her daughter was young on her horse to change her veterinary practice forever. Her business (she sells food and supplements because it may be hard for some of us depending on where we live) is called EvoLove Adventures, and you can find all her offerings and education on her website below. Dr Siegel grows her own food forest to offer the healthiest, cleanest, most nutritionally dense foods to her own family - animals included, and explains what she's growing, and why we should be, too. She talks about the chemicals and contaminants in our food and WATER that we take in, and the virtually 100% cancer rates as well as other health issues in pets, and how we can avoid the heartbreak with her 6 Keys to Health and Healing Pets Naturally (free E Book available on the website!) and her Empowered Pet Parents Course. The message she wants people to take from this: "There is a proven path to healing. The Empowered Pet Parent Course gives you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take back control of your pet’s health. Address the Root Cause, Not Just Symptoms. Support detoxification. Reduce inflammation. Build resilience."

141 Micro-Homesteading and More with Brittany Hansen
I loved meeting Brittany Hansen so much; it was such a gift spending time with her because she is a very well-rounded person! Brittany lives in Idaho with her spouse and children on 1/3 acre, and she is homesteading - or as she calls it Micro-homesteading, but it is totally effective! And some cool tips for city folks were shared, because she is using every inch of space, and has created a sharing community where she is, so she can access locally grown or made items, and offer some in return. We get to learn about raising QUAIL! I've heard of quail here and there, but have I actually seen a quail? Nope. Tasted their eggs? Nope again. Brittany's kids have an allergy to chicken eggs, and learned that quail eggs can be a good option, so she is raising her own quail to feed her family! (Check out my promo posts for this episode, because Brittany shared pictures with me!) I've been told since talking with her that quail might be a way around zoning with chickens, too... Brittany is immersed in the sustainability world - She is Co-Owner of Viiision, which, my understanding, is like a PR for companies to share their transparency of sustainability progress so that customers will see them to support them (Brittany, please correct me if I'm too far off!). AND, since we talked, she has started her own podcast, called "Who's Going to Fix This?" Talking about world issues, and who is taking the steps to make change happen. Brilliant! Only a couple of episodes in, and I'm hooked! Brittany's message she wants you to remember from our conversation: "If we want to change the world we have to lead with that change. If you want more sustainability adopt little changes that interweave that into your life until it becomes a part of you." I feel like if anyone walks the walk, it's Brittany.

140: The True Cost of Fashion with Victoria Scholz
I love so much that there are people in the fashion world who find fault with it, and have ideas how it could be made better - Victoria Scholz is that person, and her opinions feel so spot on to me - at least, a lot of the things she talks about are things I've noticed and wish someone would fix. Victoria's brand is called House of Dodos, and she just a couple of weeks ago completed her Masters in Sustainable Fashion. She's learning a lot about the history of fashion, and also finding ways she would change it. The message she hopes you'll take from this conversation: "Together we can change fashion, through fashion we can change the world."

139: Ms Thrifty Rose's ThriftNics with Alyce Rose
I briefly met Alyce Rose/AKA Ms Thrifty Rose/AKA Auntie Outside this January at Podfest, and I saw a post of hers where she advertised her 1st Wednesday Thrift Nic, and my podcaster radar alarm sounded - I had to hear more about this thrifting business - and boy did I! Alyce is CONNECTED, and she has an energy that you just want to be around - and she makes things happen! I just love Alyce's attitude that she doesn't worry about what others think. Her message she wants you to remember her for: "Do YOU your Way." Alyce shares her journey of creating her businesses, Ms. Thrifty Rose and Auntie Outside, and how they are interconnected. She discusses her approach to live sales, the creation of Thrift Nic events in Jacksonville, FL, and her philosophy on sustainability and confidence. Alyce also touches on her podcast, Auntie Outside, which addresses important community topics. Throughout the conversation, we emphasize the importance of focusing on oneself, embracing community, and the joy of giving items a second life. This was a super fun conversation, and it was so great to hear how much thrifting is embraced in the Jacksonville area!

138: Sustainable Travel with the Travel Devil, Clara Francken
I found Clara Franken in a podcast newsletter, and started listening that morning to her podcast, Travel Devil, and the first episode I listened to was about the Trash Traveler; a man who travels and brings attention to himself by cleaning up the area, and I knew I wanted to hear all about what else she's learned hosting a podcast all about sustainable travel. Clara lives in Germany, but is from Belgium, so she travels a lot, but she mostly travels by train, or "slow" travel, as she calls it. And she explains why. And she really walks the walk, and it shows, as the week prior to this episode airing, she's featured on a billboard at the train station in Leipzig! (she has yet to see it with her own eyes - not for lack of trying - but her friend has seen it!) I love Clara's Instagram reels - she's very committed to sustainability, and she's also very entertaining! It was fun hearing how creative people are getting with their traveling from her.

Bonus! Podcasthon Episode: Growing to Give with Friends
Y'all, this is very personal, and I'm so happy to have some of my closest friends join me to chat up our special place, Growing to Give. Growing to Give is a climate-friendly, volunteer-driven, nonprofit farming operation in Brunswick, Maine, that grows certified-organic vegetables for donation. I invited my friends Karin Sorensen, Robin Knight and Mary Aveno to help me to chat up our favorite non-profit where we all had the honor of helping to grow organic produce to donate to local food pantries to offer some highly nutritious produce to our less food secure neighbors. We all met there, and became fast friends, and more like family in the same purpose. We missed each other when we were absent, and celebrated every day we were together, and we did some great work (they still do, but Karin and I moved away), and have helped to grow and donate over 100,000 lbs of food! There are several other volunteers at Growing to Give - too many to gather for an episode and everyone get a word in, but that's how the magic happens. Growing to Give began as a dream of property owners Patty Carton and John Newlin in 2015, and 2017 was the first year officially growing, and Robin and I were the first 2 volunteers with Theda, the OG Farm Manager, with 1 Rimol greenhouse, and now it's a well-oiled machine of hundreds of volunteers annually, several hoop houses for growing, as well as farm skills workshops, elderberry workshops, and an annual Farmyard Jam fundraiser. It's a very special place of fun, healing and family. Please check out Growing to Give here: https://growingtogive.farm/ They're on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/growingtogivemaine/?hl=en And on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/GrowingtoGive/ You can register as a volunteer, join the board, see upcoming events, sign up to receive the newsletter, or donate to this special cause.

137: Green Burials with Melissa Meadow, The Modern Mortician
I have to say, I was so impressed with myself for getting through this conversation with sensation in my toes - I'm a total baby talking about blood and stuff, and I expected to have a hard time with it, but I was too interested to get queasy, I guess. Even the 2nd time listening to edit, it was still so fascinating! Feeling very lucky that Melissa Meadow crossed my Instagram feed. This opened my eyes to a ton of new information that's available. Melissa Meadow started her career early, and has been in the funeral home business since she was very young, evolved into being a mortician, and has tons of wisdom to share that we might not know about. I had only heard the phrase green burial in the last few months - let alone water cremation and others... AND I thought that cremation was more environmentally friendly than burying a whole body, because it took up more space - boy was I wrong about that! This is why I wanted to have Melissa on the podcast; in her words: "There are options that are better for the environment and align with those wanting transparency and options." I love that she shared so many new options! Have you already made plans for when you die? I had when my mom passed away, but that was in Maine, where I don't live anymore, so I have to plan again- and now I have more information to make a more informed decision. It may sound morbid, but it's an important topic, I think. The more you have planned out, the less traumatic your death will be - speaking from some experience... I hope you take some good info away from this conversation - I know I did! You can find Melissa at her website https://www.themodernmortician.com/ (there are so many helpful resources here!) Her Instagram page, where I found her, is both fascinating and entertaining: https://www.instagram.com/the_modern_mortician She's also on TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_modern_mortician And lastly on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@The_Modern_Mortician You can send me messages(this is new!)!

136: Learning About Solar Thermal with Dan Razumovsky
Do you know about Solar Thermal energy?? I didn't, either; I've heard of solar panels, solar farms, Community Solar... but not solar thermal. Enter Dan Razumovski, of Sun Catch Solar Thermal, out of Colorado! This might be more of a business or farm purchase- they're pricy, and take up a good amount of space, but it's a newer technology- and it's very cool! It stores electricity, so that if power goes out, you can still power your home for a week! If you're interested in solar thermal, though, Dan's company will help you to fill out grant applications and apply for tax breaks for updating, which, I could be wrong, but I haven't heard that many companies offer this service. Sun Catch website to learn more is here: https://sun-catch.com/ Here's a video from the company that shows the solar thermal product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkw2d-Sw4Uc They're on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/suncatchltd/ And on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/suncatch-ltd/ You can send me messages(this is new!)!

135: Rewilding With Native Plants: Christopher Reynolds
I met Christopher Reynolds through Podmatch, and, as I usually do, I followed him on Instagram and TikTok to see what he's about, and his message is so beautiful. His stories are meaningful and deep, and you can't help but be drawn in and want to support whatever he's putting out. Christopher is a high-end landscape designer, and he discovered for himself what a powerful addition native plants are to his design. He encourages everyone to plant natives wherever we can - just add a few even, to add biodiversity to our area. He talks about ways that adding native plants will improve the land, and bring in beneficial insects and birds, and other critters, and the magnitude of those positive changes. All from just planting a few native plants! A small effort for huge and lasting results! He also talks about the personal project he's working on, Tierra Linda Park, that he's experimenting and bringing back to life using natives, and the results already are truly awesome! Christopher's own words of what he wants you to take away from this conversation from his guest form: "The solutions to many of our big problems are simple and fast in the scheme of things. We can all participate at whatever level we can and all acts, tiny and grand, contribute. If you know how easy it is, then you can't help but want to take action."

134: Creative Self Care with Crystal McLain
Crystal McLain and I go back a few years, and she's been a great source of much needed "woo" in my world, and that has saved my bacon what feels like a million times. So I'm sharing one of my personal sustainability resources here... Crystal is a licensed Massage Therapist slash podcaster - her podcast has the same title as this episode. Her episodes are easy to listen to and forgiving. And I'll say it until I die, she has the cutest giggle. I personally am afraid of being seen as an imposter of someone who has their crap together, but she has magical powers and can see right through it. She's kind and has gentle suggestions to help. You'll see! I've shared her reels on Instagram several times, because they are exactly what I needed to hear, hoping it would reach someone else, too. Do you have a "woo" person, or practice in your life, to keep yourself in check so you can keep on keepin' on? Send me a message and let me know what/who yours is. Feel free to let Crystal know, too - she'd love it! Crystal's message she wants you to leave with: "YOU have the power to create a healthier, empowered, and more fulfilling human experience."

133: Sustainable Business Planning with Anjel B Hartwell
Anjel B Hartwell and I are talking about planning a sustainable business, and no one better for this conversation than the Wealthy Life Mentor! Anjel has had ALL the experiences in business, and she uses them to make her the mentor that she is. She tells us how she started and about choices she made that weren't ideal, but still shaped her and added to her understanding. And that brings the wisdom to guide others. Anjel is a member of the New England Podcasters Group - that's how I got to know her. She currently is the host of 2 podcasts: Wickedly Smart Women and Leading Visionaries. She was one of the first, if not the first person to sell a podcast, showing just how badass she is. She talks about leveraging virtual speaking engagements to gain exposure to millions and opportunities to earn money. She also is a mom and forager and cooks up a storm, and has stories to share about all. I just loved Anjel's message she wanted you to remember from our talk: "Getting support for building the business you are dreaming of is essential." I hope you enjoy this conversation - I sure did!

132: Cleaner, Safer Water with Mark Miller
I really enjoyed learning about Cleaner Safer Water from Mark Miller, the CEO and Founder of this affordable, lifetime water filtration system. It just makes sense to have something like this in case of power outage. I'm still in awe of not having to buy filters for it ever, AND that it can provider water for up to 300 people! 1 system could take care of a whole neighborhood! Mark tells us all about the system, and gives some examples of how it works, and how helpful it has been for people who have it. These are Mark's words: "There is now a guaranteed way for you to have pure water for life. Enough for you, your family, and up to 300 other people in any emergency no matter how long it lasts. Even if there is no electricity. And a way to help the ecosystem by drastically reducing the number of plastic water bottles. You can now have better health with pure water for life and always be prepared for any emergency." You know I'm all about the reducing plastic water bottles part; but providing water to 300 neighbors is pretty attractive! Learn all about Safer Cleaner Water by listening!

Oh my gosh, Lynne Bowman was such a pleasure to spend time with! She is an absolute hoot, full of energy, and is adamant that we NOT diet - we should be eating intentionally, for enjoyment. She'll tell us all about it in this conversation. We're talking about preventing chronic disease and being overall healthy and happy! When asked what message Lynne wanted people to get from this conversation, she simply said "eat joyfully." And she brags about her gorgeous new cookbook Brownies For Breakfast, with not just fave recipes, but stories from around her table, where all the best moments happen.

130: Matthew Lesko: Grants to Help Make Big Projects Possible
I had so much fun talking with Matthew Lesko! He's encouraging people to apply for grants to fund big ticket upgrades, updates, etc. He says "the money's there; YOU might as well have it!" He worked for 50 years for the wealthy, finding them more money, but now is helping the underdog to get ahead, because he can. He says it doesn't pay him a lot, but he actually feels good about his work now. Matthew is a trip! He has more energy than 5 people - he hosts almost daily a live chat with up to 15,000 people looking for ways to find funding for projects and life. He sometimes doesn't sound very serious, but then he inserts a phrase like "it makes you human, and it's hard to flunk a human; it's easy to flunk a robot." I'm so happy to have found him so he can share his tips with you!

Bonus: Farm Skills Training with Merrymeeting Food Council
Merrymeeting Food Council reached out to me to ask if we could help to get the word out about their Farm Skills Program, because the deadline to apply for the next cohort is this Saturday, February 1. If you miss this cohort, they will still take applications for the next. Maine has set a BIG goal of eliminating food insecurity by 2030 (FIVE YEARS), and their plan includes growing more locally. Have you thought about farming at all, or gardening large scale? This is an incredible opportunity in my home state of Maine, and I'm going to be looking into where else this might be an option, because we need more farmers - we're losing them at an alarming rate, and with education from organizations like Merrymeeting Food Council, people can be set up for success! Please look into whether you have something like a Farm Skills Program near you, or take a Master Gardener Class, check out gardening books or classes, or volunteer at a farm near you for experience - knowing where our food comes from is becoming more important every day. This conversation is so informative and excited for the next generation of farmers in Maine. Maybe you could help your area (if you're not in Maine) organize a Farm Skills Program! Learn more by listening here- See Merrymeeting Food Council's website for more info on the incredible work they're doing here: https://www.merrymeetingfoodcouncil.org/ The Farm Skills specific link is here: https://www.merrymeetingfoodcouncil.org/farm-skills And get involved in your own community, PLEASE!

129: Real Soil Talk with Seb Jagoe
The algorithm was just right not too long ago that I happened upon Seb Jagoe's Instagram reel and became obsessed with his excitement and vast knowledge about soil and growing. It's always a little nerve wracking to reach out cold to a stranger, but this time, at least, Seb was just so gracious to talk with me and share this message. I've had many conversations about soil health on the podcast, but Seb's energy alone is exciting, and different. He talks about the history of soil health, and also when he first started talking about soil. We also discuss the importance of taking care of our soil; how it's not a thing - it's a process. He talks a. lot about Indigenous Knowledge, and food forests, and how the white men took food forests over from the Native Americans and depleted them with so many of our current practices (weed and pest control, monocropping, to name a couple). He has big plans to educate as many people as possible through his social media videos to share his passion for nutrient dense foods and attracting pollinators - all without fertilizers and pest control - because healthy soil and plants will ward off pests naturally! Seb asks that we consider quality over convenience whenever possible. The waste from overconsumption and cheap junk is poisoning our water and soil currently. He said when asked what the word sustainability means to him that sustainability isn't good enough - and he's not wrong! Who wants things to continue as they are, after all? Don't we want better? If not for ourselves, for the next generation? What an enlightening conversation! Listen here! You can find Seb at his website here: https://solarity.farm His Instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/solarity.acres/ Check out all of Seb's video work on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@solarityacres And he's on TikTok, too: https://www.tiktok.com/@solarity.acres You can send me messages(this is new!)!

128: Angela Hollowell: Businesses Supporting Community
I've been following Angela Hollowell for a couple of years now on Linkedin, and admiring all that she's doing with her podcast Honey and Hustle, and her writing and now documentary film making. When she said she's joined a new group that she's excited about and asked if anyone wanted to hear about it, I saw my chance and said YES PLEASE! She recently joined Dogwood Alliance - info is below: Dogwood Alliance is an environmental nonprofit organization based in Asheville, North Carolina . The group works to achieve broad-based support to end unsustainable forestry practices in the region. They focus in the marketplace to move large paper producers and customers away from sourcing their paper from endangered forests and towards increasing the use of post-consumer recycled fiber and other environmentally-friendly alternatives. Angela's company Rootful Media is committed to inclusive visual storytelling that promotes community-building, meaningful conversations, exceeded fundraising goals, and lasting change. Rootful Media works with regional organizations and national enterprises to amplify diverse groups and voices. I was able to watch the trailer on zoom of the documentary Trail Therapy, which is wonderful - telling the story of Sharon, a therapist who offers sessions while walking outside, as opposed to in a sterile room, to breathe in the fresh air and the scenery. She's also working on, or finishing up now, another documentary about forever chemicals that I'm really interested to learn more about. And her podcast Honey and Hustle is SO good! She focuses on business owners in NC that are doing great things - always an engaging conversation!

127: Bronwyn Holm: Nourishing Our Soil to Heal Our Bodies
Bronwyn Holm is an international speaker and spokesperson for Earth Food, a product of living microbiomes to feed our soil, and at the same time battle food insecurity and turn our health issues around. HOW, you ask? Bron talks at length of the benefits of Earth Food in this conversation, and she is SO proud of its capabilities, and rightfully so! She is sharing her message of saving our soil, which will raise the nutritional value of the food that we buy and make - even as a lazy farmHER (Bron's term)! Earth Food has been in Bron's family for decades. She went off after school to do other business ventures, but came back to embrace EarthFood and bring it forward to the masses. in her own words (in her brochure) " It took 27 years perfecting Earthfood. It is not just about nurturing plants; it is cultivating a thriving ecosystem for growing all plants."

126: Self Work for World Work with Laura Hartley
This conversation with Laura Hartley was like medicine for my soul - I hope this helps you to feel seen, too, because it was a message that I didn't expect or know that I needed to hear! I told Laura that I've felt a call to be more involved in what's happening in the world, but I lack the confidence to stand up when the time comes, and she actually has a course/program coming up in January to help people like me to steward our power and find empowerment and passion and education! Laura Hartley of Scintilla Centr, is an Activist, writer and a coach, helping changemakers unlearn and dismantle systems that inhibit our thriving, while visioning and seeing a more just, regenerative and loving world. Laura has a podcast called Public Love Project, which touches on a lot of topics she's passionate about, and is a great resource as well. Her course, also called Scintilla Centr also creates a community of like-minded people, and says (and I totally agree!) community gives acknowledgement and confidence, and that's so helpful!

125: My Mindful Kitchen - Reducing Food Waste with Janet Irizarry
I loved this conversation with Janet Irizzary - she has tons of experience in the food business to base her upcoming course, My Mindful Kitchen (MMK) to reduce food waste for families. in her bio: "The MMK Method offers a solution to household food waste, addressing a critical environmental issue that contributes to climate change. Wasting food also wastes valuable water and energy, while releasing harmful greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide, which account for 11% of global emissions. MMK Method empowers families to unite in reducing food waste and creating a more sustainable future. By fostering awareness, streamlining routines, and sharing meaningful moments, it helps families build lasting habits that benefit both the environment and their family’s well-being." Who doesn't want that? That's a win-win situation! Janet has run several restaurants, and has seen a lot of food waste, but says the highest amount of food waste is in the home, so she's using the skills she's learned to help families work together to cut that back, and build stronger family ties in the meantime. She also is an instructor at the Culinary Institute of America, and has a degree in Education, so she's very qualified to put this program out to make a difference in home kitchens! MMK will be available January 2, 2025, and for CHEAP as the first version, so check it out and sign up - I know I am! "The MMK Method helps families create lasting, positive change—building a legacy of sustainability."

124: Climate Education for Kids with Planet Bonehead's Bobby Donohue
This conversation with Bobby Donohue had me so fired up excited for the future! Bobby has single handedly developed an outstanding educational platform for school kids to teach them about climate change in a positive way, so they can problem solve with creativity and hope, and not doom and gloom. He also developed a track just for teachers, to help kids understand some of the more complex topics! This program is now streaming into 86 countries and 1000 schools and counting! Bobby has such a great energy for education, and has been motivated by considering his own children's future, and really, what better motivation is there? And I learned about the STEAM method of teaching/learning - Bobby's love for the arts is very apparent, and I'm so grateful he was here to share it. (We also had SO much fun!) Here's his message he hopes to leave us all with, in his words: "Everyone can contribute to a more sustainable future, no matter their resources or background. By educating the next generation with optimism and practical tools, we empower them to take ownership of the planet’s future. Small, achievable actions—whether at home, in schools, or in the community—can collectively create meaningful change." If you're a teacher, or a parent hoping to help your child learn more about climate change, please find Bobby at his website: https://planetbonehead.com/ He's also on BlueSky here: https://bsky.app/profile/planetbonehead.com His YouTube channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/@planetbonehead And he's also on TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@planetbonehead You can send me messages(this is new!)!

123: Man’s Search For Sustainability Author David Auge
David Auge is a fascinating person who has been in the sustainability realm for a while now, so understands it on a much deeper level than some (possibly a lot) of us. So much so, that he just had a book published by the name of this episode - Man's Search for Sustainability. He talks about a book that he was inspired by, Man's Search for Meaning, by Victor Frankl. In his book, David focuses on bees and locusts - how we consider one more valuable than another, their differences and their strengths, and how they relate to sustainability - that is fascinating! Something I certainly never considered before, but I'm so glad David and I discussed it! These are David's words: "Sustainability is a normative term - one that describes a lot. As a result, it describes comparative choices in a journey - not an end point." It's about the journey, not the destination...

122: One Year-ish Into Homesteading with Kent Scott
Speaking with Kent Scott of Too Long Dogs Homestead just lit me up, because we have so many ideas in common - he's just closer to the dream than I am. I'm so inspired by all the things he's up to, and in such a short time! My very favorite thing so far that I've learned about him is his community involvement, and you know I'm obsessed with Community Sufficiency - taking care of each other and sharing resources for a bigger purpose... Kent and his family moved to Alberta Canada from Vancouver in 2022 and when they saw their house, he and his spouse could see where things would go, and were already making plans. When they moved, Kent brought a shovel in their vehicle, knowing the moving truck would be a few days, and he could at least dig some holes for the trees that were on their way. No time to waste with a Zone 3b Canadian Permaculture Food forest! Kent and his spouse both work full time and are raising 2 kids and 2 dogs, so they repurpose and thrift a lot of things and keep their end goal in mind, and do what they can a little at a time to get there. These are Kent's words "You eat an elephant one bite at time, not in one sitting. Make your grand plan and lay it out based on mature tree canopy size. Then you can take little bites, always towards the end goal." So true, Kent. So true. Kent is really active on Instagram - give a follow, he loves it! https://www.instagram.com/toolongdogshomestead/ You can send me messages(this is new!)!

121: Outdoor Classrooms with Victoria Hackett
When I say this conversation was a LONG time in the making, I'm just so glad that Victoria was still available when I got back to her - we decided it was the right time now, and that's why it happened as it did. (so grateful for her cheery outlook) Victoria lives in Massachusetts and she has been working on outdoor classrooms for many years, and is doing great work for her community and even wider with her awesome podcast Outdoor Classrooms! I loved these 2 snips from Victoria's guest form: "It's vital for our mental health and the future of our planet to raise our children outdoors, while also creating communities that understand the value of nature" and also "I believe children need to have a relationship with nature in order to become our future advocates for protecting our earth." I loved talking with Victoria, and all the wonderful things she's doing to expose kids and hopefully their parents and teachers to nature - there's SO much to learn outside - go on, get out there!

120: Rapt: Reusable Gift Wrap!
Oh my gosh, I just loved this conversation with Monica and Cindy of Rapt Gift Wrap! Their business is fabric wrap, to reduce the paper waste from gift wrapping, and it's so beautiful! I thought the timing of this was perfect; hopefully will give folks time to think about gift waste before the rush. Monica O'Neil and Cindy Estes are friends who started Rapt in Massachusetts to help reduce the paper waste in gift giving - the amount of paper after the holiday season fills dozens of FOOTBALL FIELDS, and they saw a problem and are doing something to try to fix it! One of my questions was is it appropriate to take the fabric wrap back to reuse it, or ask if someone will use it, and they have answers to that! They also do some tutorials on the YouTube podcast episode, so check that out - the link is here: https://youtu.be/mut4rECnUXc I started collecting and saving fabric scraps last year, but then I didn't know what to do with it, so very grateful for the opportunity to see it happen! They also have several tutorials on their website https://www.raptgiftwrap.com/ They teach the ancient Japanese wrap called Furoshiki and it's so beautiful, and Monica and Cindy say it's much faster than wrapping with paper, even!

I'm talking with Nick Bergmann of Peace House Studio- Nick and his spouse Kate are creating children's clothes that can be bought back when outgrown and patched up and passed onto a new child with even more fun personality! (check out the cutie patootie top in the cover, and also in my Instagram promo!) We talk about the start of Peace House Studio, and the Three Pillars of sustainability: people, planet and profit, and what that means to them. We also discuss Organic vs. sustainability: Does organic always mean better or has it morphed into a marketing term? This is a deep subject, but one Peace House Studio cares deeply about and is working with; should they purchase organic cotton from India and have it travel across the world, or prioritize less travel and work with more local providers in this country? This is the organic conversation they're having. I loved this conversation with Nick, learning about the clothing startup processes and thought patterns, their trials and goals, and how transparent they are about sustainability.

I was recently approached by Mykhailo and Vlad of Terra Mora on Instagram and was just so impressed with what they're offering that I wanted to feature them on the podcast and learn more about them. These two are both 21 yearrs old, and in the beginning of the current Russia/Ukraine war, lost their homes and just about everything, but they've built themselves back up, and are dedicated to building a sustainable world for the next generation (Mykhailo has a 1 year old son and spouse, so very motivated). Their business is Terra Mora - wooden table ware and serving dishes, etc, and it's all so beautiful! Mykhailo and Vlad will be shipping their items through a distributer in Washington DC, where they'll be shipping orders.

Jr Sparrow and I have been friends for a couple of years, but have talked more since I've moved to his home state - even though he doesn't live here now, he's got lots of memories here (and his mom), so he's sharing all kinds of good tips with me. We talk about soil, critters - cute and less cute, and his first sustainability venture as a young person cleaning up after race track events (there's a pro race track less than 15 minutes from me). He is a real wealth of knowledge! Jr has 3 (THREE) podcasts: WV Uncommonplace, WV Uncommonplace Interviews and Sessions, and Sparrows Under Review. There's even a 4th, that he's not sure the name of ( it's WV Uncommonplace Presents), and they're all different - don't ask me how he keeps track of what goes where, because I'm overwhelmed sometimes with just one...

116: Kenya Rothstein, Environmental Attorney
Kenya Rothstein is the host of the podcast Thank You For Saying NO, about things happen in life that feel impossible and hard, but turn out to be the best thing for us. I've been following her for a little while now, and at some point she messaged me and said something like "your podcast is about sustainability - I need to be a guest!" I wasn't going to say no - definitely not to an attorney... Kenya is an Environmental Attorney in CA - and soon adding Washington DC! She works for the Plaintiff, and gets to support our oceans and air - how cool is that? She has so many ideas that people can get involved in protecting our natural spaces! My biggest takeaway was for my new area, to talk with restaurants and ask them to advise customers to ASK for a straw or plastic cutlery, and ask the restaurants to make that a new practice, and to talk to them in a way that helps them realize there's a way to help save money AND save waste. I love how simple that sounds, and how doable it can be. I'm totally going to try this!

115: My Homestead Moving Adventure
This is a shorty, you guys (you're welcome!) - just thought I'd give a little update, since some huge life shifts have happened for me - some, maybe a lot of you, follow on social media, so you know that I recently moved - short update: it's mostly going well! Also, as it has been for a while now, menopause was brought up - October is Menopause Awareness Month - as well as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Alzheimers Awareness Month - and the election, and all the tension that accompanies - to which I'm just going to say BE KIND please. Crazy weather and high stress is so hard on everyone, and some of us could be on the brink of a breakdown... we don't always know who needs just a moment of kindness, so please just try. But I'll be posting more menopause stuff as it comes up - in my life, and in my friends' lives, it has been helpful. If you've experienced symptoms, please pay attention! I seriously want to scream what I'm learning from the rooftops, because the new study results are life changing - for real! There are several books and documentaries coming out that are blowing the lid off of the darkness we've been living in, and I'm so ready for acknowledgement and validation and RELIEF! I said this in the episode, but there are definitely lonely times in my new place, so if you need some time away, give me a heads up, and my door will always be open. This is a beautiful place, southern Virginia. I'll feed you well - I'm in tight with the farmers, and my little food forest is coming along..... You can send me messages(this is new!)!

114: Natalie Hodge - The Misadventures of a First Time Foodscaper
Natalie Hodge is my very first Virginia podcast guest since moving here, and I'm so excited to share our conversation with you! She just recently (this year!) started gardening in containers, and she is HOOKED! I love her story of how and why she started, and how excited she gets talking about growing her own food on her balcony - and hearing about her future plans-- "they" say in the homesteading world that chickens are the gateway drug to farming, but growing your own food brings out a very special experience that hooks you in as well! I didn't ask, but I wonder how long until she calls herself a "plant lady" or "plant mom?" I joined a few Facebook groups before moving to VA, and I happened to see Natalie posting about her Foodscapes program on the local news, and I felt I needed to reach out to her. We learned so much about each other in our first Zoom meeting, and I was just obsessed with her story of not being able to grow anything until she spent time with them - the plant people will understand what we mean-- I couldn't possibly leave out her awesome message that she hopes you'll take away from this conversation - "Keep it simple...small changes matter." LOVE this - it's so true! Natalie has her own media company called Rudy's Girl Media, and she's been working with a Zero Waste program theough the VA Public Media to produce her Foodscapes segment. She's got new stuff coming out very soon (I think this week?!)! How to find Natalie: her website is here: https://www.rudysgirl.com/ She's on Instagram as https://www.instagram.com/nataliekhodge/ and also https://www.instagram.com/rudysgirlmedia/ Her Facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/nataliekhodge You can send me messages(this is new!)!

113: Carol Connare, Editor of THE Old Farmer's Almanac!
I was thinking that the title of this episode should be "How on Earth did Amy score The Old Farmer's Almanac on the Podcast?? But it was too many characters... Shall we make it the UNofficial title? Carol Connare is the 14th editor of The Old Farmer's Almanac, and only the 2nd woman- since 1792! She talks about the beginnings of the Almanac, and about the great topics discussed (besides the weather), like recipes, fun animal stories, lifestyle trends, and so on. She and her team collect a pool of topics and articles, then pick the best of all of those - and they also respond to emails, phone calls and snail mail! Sometimes they have to do research before responding, but they ALWAYS do! Millions of readers, and anyone who writes in gets a response, which seems unheard of, but so very cool. A couple of listeners, Jenny Boghun and Brenda Simmons (both previous podcast guests!) wrote in questions, and they were all answered inside this conversation, in almost traditional Almanac form. I know for sure that Jenny is going to love this! Have you checked out the Almanac before? It covers so many articles and topics about gardening and paying attention to Earth's weather patterns, because nature can help provide a fulfilling, healthy lifestyle. And we all want that, right? The official Almanac website is here: https://www.almanac.com/ (there are cool tools, articles, recipes, etc here!)

112: A Homesteading State of Mind with Rhonda Linn
I loved this conversation with Rhonda Linn so much - we have a lot in common - she's just a bit ahead of me. A big one for me is the title of this episode - A Homesteading State of Mind - you don't know this, but that was almost the name of this podcast! For real! Rhonda is a writer, so I'm going to use some of her words, so I don't make it all clumsy- Her Substack is called Earthen Jar; Stars, and it's so beautiful - I highly recommend! We're talking about Homesteading mostly - Rhonda lives pretty simply (LOVE that!), except on 36 acres, so it's not SO simple--- She started her homestead journey while living in an apartment! So her words below are from personal experience. Here are her words about what she hopes you will take from this conversation: "Anyone can be a homesteader no matter where you live or what resources you have. It's a mindset. Also living by the seasons allows us to live with grace and peace and makes new solutions and possibilities emerge where we couldn't see them before." Her words are so lovely and graceful, and she is an inspiration of taking things day by day and just doing the best you can. So grateful for this conversation with her! You can find Rhonda's Substack(writing) here: https://rhondalinn.substack.com/ Her website is here: https://rhondalinn.com You can find her on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/rhonda.linn.3 She's also on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/rhonda.m.linn/ and her Linkedin is here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhondalinnvirtualsolutions/ You can send me messages(this is new!)!

111: Blasphemous Nutrition with Aimee Gallo
Wow, I loved this conversation with Aimee Gallo! She calls herself 'unapologetically candid,' in her podcast description, and I'm 100% here for it. Aimee's not afraid to question or disagree with what we've been hearing our whole lives about nutrition on her podcast, Blasphemous Nutrition. She's not just being contrary; she's been studying nutrition her whole life (since 12 years old, REALLY!). I just love how Aimee tells you that we've basically been fed garbage in the understanding that we have been given, that there are no real studies to back statements up - she focuses on meat a lot - a very controversial subject, of course. And she spent several years Vegan, so she's really speaking from her research AND life experience. She's a Nutrition Coach, by the way--- She also talks about how food nourishes us, not just 'is it healthy or not.' I mentioned a recent post about electrolytes, and how that kind of blew my mind, and also just made me really think about what I KNOW about. my food. This conversation is entertaining and enlightening, and really makes you consider what we know. And I love that so much! You can listen to the whole conversation here -- Aimee can be found on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/vibrancenutrition/ And on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/VibranceNutrition Her website is here: https://vibrancenutrition.com/ Aimee gives fact credit here for her "outlandish statements" (her words): EPA data on greenhouse gas emissions: https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emissions projected 2.5% emissions saved if we went meatless: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1707322114 Life expectancy of our children's generation is less: https://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/17/health/childrens-life-expectancy-being-cut-short-by-obesity.html The New England Journal article that NYT cited; You can send me messages(this is new!)!

110: Jane Lee Rankin on Agritourism and Our Connection with Animals
This conversation with Jane Lee Rankin was so easy - it felt like it just flowed for me - it helps that we are very like-minded... Whatever it was, I had the best time getting to know her! Jane Lee Rankin is a 2 time author, and also a farmer in Agritourism, opening up her farm so that others can come and feel the peace that comes with farming (or maybe just digging in the dirt and interacting with animals), and an active community member. She is also a public speaker, talking about Agritourism and entrepreneurship. Jane talks about Agritourism, her journey to living on Apple Hill Farm, an old apple orchard, and how it ALLLLL started: an alpaca. Yup, you read that. She moved far from where she was, and took on an old farm, and started this whole dream because she came face to face with an alpaca. Jane's message she wanted you to leave with: "Live your dream." I think I'll just leave it at that. You can find Jane Lee Rankin just about everywhere - adding all her links below: Jane's and the farm's websites: https://janeleerankin.com/ https://applehillfarmnc.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jane.l.rankin.1 also here: https://www.facebook.com/applehillfarm Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janeleerankin/ and here: https://www.instagram.com/applehillfarmnc/ Her YouTube channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/@JaneLeeRankinAHF And on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-lee-rankin-948732a9/ You can send me messages(this is new!)!

109: Untethering Shame with Kyira Wackett
Ooh, this conversation with Kyira Wackett was so good! Kyira hosts her own podcast, Untethering Shame, and brought such a necessary conversation for me, as every week I'm talking about all of these cool people who are doing amazing things in sustainability, and this week we're talking about SHAME, which feels so important right now. It's so true, and I often think about people who feel shame around sustainability - folks who feel like if they can't afford the expensive things that say sustainable on them, they're not allowed to feel like a part of the solution. I feel it, too! I've had people that I know hang their head and mention something they feel bad about around plastic/recycling or composting; like I'm a perfect person who does everything right... I'm also human - AND if you notice, I'm talking to these folks so I can learn, too, and highlight what THEY'RE doing... Nobody's perfect, and there's no such thing (that I'm aware of) as perfect sustainability. We should only be comparing ourselves to our yesterday self, and nobody else. Easier said than done, I know, but that's the goal- Kyira, a licensed therapist AND coach, has so many enlightening thoughts on this topic, obviously, and I'm thrilled that she was able to share them with us all, and hopefully not just ease our minds but also empower us. These are her words, from her guest form: "There is no all or nothing, you don't have to be perfect, and that the fear we all have about the state of the world is real, but that it can't be your primary motivation, or you will get stuck in pain and fear and negative self-talk. The pressure will be rooted to the wrong purpose." YouTube is where Kyira is most active - here's her channel: https://www.youtube.com/@adversityrising You can send me messages(this is new!)!

108: Clean Makeup with Christina Flach of Pretty Girl Makeup
This conversation with Christina Flach was gold! She is just a wealth of knowledge, experience and kindness. Christina is a Makeup Artist to the stars, and created a clean makeup that is night and day better than commercial makeup. She has a family, and was very vulnerable in sharing her trauma, but she has such a warmth and mentoring nature and has focused on helping others to honor her losses. Pretty Girl Makeup is Christina's product, and if you listen to the episode, she offers a hefty discount code! She tells us why she created it and what makes it better than what people have been wearing for decades. And she tells us what we need to look out for and some real downfalls to commercial makeups. Christina also has her own YouTube show called "I'm Too Busy" - check out the link offered below to see it! https://www.imtoobusytv.com/ I'm just in awe of all that Christina is doing and has done in the makeup world and outside of it, too - super grateful to have had the chance to learn from her!

107 Go Green with Alexa Pavan
I've been following Alexa Pavan for a long time on Instagram - I love everything she posts and stands for, and I was so thrilled when she said yes to a conversation! I may have been a little giddy talking with her... Usually I like to get the back story of a guest, and get to the point where their life changed to be more sustainable, but Alexa doesn't have that - she grew up in a pretty sustainable household, and just extended it to include the rest of the world. In her social media, she touches on shopping small, to support local businesses instead of padding the pockets of the ultra rich - and also to stop the big trucks from polluting the air. She talks about keeping our oceans clean, and why that's important (her parents owned a scuba diving business in FL while she was growing up, so she's very passionate about the ocean). She talks about imperfect sustainability, and why we shouldn't focus on doing EVERYTHING, but do what we're able to, and if everyone did what they could, we can make a real difference. And to get in touch with nature - spend more time outside and appreciate what's around us Alexa encourages community advocacy, and to remember that our voices matter! We can support with our wallets and our voices.

106: The Schoolhouse Life - Homesteading with Lacey Grim
Whew, this conversation was so good! Lacey and her husband are homesteading in North Carolina, and I noticed they're in a town that I was actually really hoping to find a house in, so that felt kind of Kismet to start off - but there's just so much more that she does that resonates and interests me! My favorite thing we talked about was the food clubs they're organizing to help make sure their community has access to healthy, fresh, local food. How awesome is that? I'll be heading to visit them once I'm settled to see what they've got going on, and how I can take part/contribute to the food club, and I'm so excited about that! They also are teaching their children the ins and outs of homesteading, like using whole animal, and why that's important. Also the value of community (you know I love that!) and taking care of each other. Lacey is so smart, and she and her husband Drew host their own podcast called The Schoolhouse Life, where they talk about these same things and more. I learned so much from talking with Lacey!

I loved this conversation with Amanda Russo, talking about breathwork and how it can actually heal us if we give it the chance. I met Amanda just a couple of months ago, but we've been following each other for many months, so I'm excited to get some quality time with her. I'm inspired by her spontaneous nature, and her free spirit, and she is also SO intune to every moment. Amanda focuses on breathwork because when she tried it the first time she had such an impactful session that she had to learn more and learned how to provide the same gift to others. *Full disclosure* I'm scheduling a breathwork session with Amanda, so I feel more knowledgeable -- and also to do some healing personally. I'm fascinated by all the healing modalities, and am so curious to share whether I feel different afterward or not-- Amanda was a hoot! You can listen to the full conversation here!

104: Vertical Farming Podcast and Life Shifts with Harry Duran
I tease Harry Duran about how we first connected, because it makes me feel good about my scrappiness as a podcaster. He wasn't mean, just way bigger than me - and he still is, we're just connected now, which I'm so grateful for! Harry's first podcast, Podcast Junkies just hit the 10 year mark recently, and I'm super grateful to have been a guest (see episode 332). If you remember the show Inside the Actor's Studio, with James Lipton, it's based on that, but for podcasters. There are so many podcasters, and everyone has a story -- His 2nd podcast, Vertical Farming, is about just that, and has brought him all over the world. He talks to CEOs of companies in the field to learn more about practices and purpose, and they love the chance to be featured, and Harry loves learning. so it's a win win. He also has a group that he's guiding in podcasting called podcast Blueprint - Harry talks about it on his Fullcast website here: https://fullcast.co/ Harry and his partner moved a few years ago to Minnesota from NYC, and he doesn't talk about it a lot, so I thought it would be fun to see how that transition has been - listen to the full episode here!

103: Autism Rocks and Rolls with Sam Mitchell
Sam Mitchell approached me, and was just so dynamic that I had to have him on the podcast to talk about Autism and his podcast Autism Rocks and Rolls, and you'll see why here! I definitely couldn't do any better putting Sam into words, so I'm copying these from his initial email: "I am a high-functioning human being on the autism spectrum, but have a mission: to show people that I am not broken, do not need to be fixed, there is no normal in this world, and I am successful, with autism. I want to celebrate the successes of all people. I embrace who I am and feel as though everyone should do the same." And this: "I also am a motivational speaker, entrepreneur, sell merchandise, have several sponsors, sell ad space, am writer and blogger, and love to promote my podcast and business. I also have a published TED Talk called Souled Structure." I loved talking with Sam, and learning all about the fascinating guests he's had on his podcast, and the great things he's doing with it. He is definitely not broken; he's an inspration - and he's a college student!

102: Just Grow Something with Karin Velez
I've been listening to Karin Velez's podcast Just Grow Something for quite a while, because I love how she offers helpful, bite sized truth bombs about growing produce every episode - and she also has this voice that is so easy for me to listen to... Karin's story about where her podcast came from is fascinating, and she is offering super helpful info in all areas of growing food in bite sized amounts to help me understand how and why to make changes in my gardening practices. We also discussed nutritional value, and why she wants EVERYONE to grow something; for the nutritional benefits and the mental benefits (#dirttherapy) as well. Karin is also a runner - and a new runner, at that, and we talk about why running, and how it's going. Please check out Just Grow Something wherever you listen to podcasts - you'll be glad you did!

101: Bigger Life Adventures with Carrie Hoffman
Man, I loved this conversation with Carrie Hoffman of Bigger Life Adventures! I was sold with sustainable travel, but this conversation is SO much more- Carrie lives the sustainable lifestyle - She lives on 10 acres in the mountains of Arizona! You can probably hear (and hopefully can tune out) the crackly sound, but she lives out in the open and that's our reality - if you can let go of that sound, you'll get her important message As a Trauma Informed Yoga Instructor, Carrie takes her role very seriously. She takes her retreats all over the world, to inspiring, peaceful and SLOW paces, to let the body calm and remember what peace feels like. A part that really stood out for me was that she goes to some of the same places; they form relationships with the residents, and support them as well - not overwhelming them with thousands of tourists - it's more than just money, after all. She talks about the amount of litter left after cruise ships leave. She is very mindful of so many things . I loved this message that Carrie was hoping you would gather from our conversation: "Yoga is more than just a physical exercise you do in a studio. Being a yoga means being aware of your impacts on others and the world around you." And also this: "I use travel as a way to open people's eyes to climate change and global inequity ..." This is a big conversation, and I absolutely loved it. I love any chance to learn how to be a better human, and Carrie does just that.

99: Looking Forward and Looking Back with Amy
I have a big request, you guys - I need some MALE people to give their perspective on menopause - I'm really doing it - I've been talking about the Menopause Panel since November/December, and it's finally happening. I'm so excited for these conversations, and to help people feel empowered and not feel broken when their body is changing in ways we aren't expecting; that we are not alone, and we don't need to quietly suffer with the changes. In talking, we learn ways that have helped others, and gain a community of support. In my own journey, I've lost a marriage, a partner, most of my self esteem and my home. It wasn't ALL menopause, but because by the time I figured out what was happening, it was too late. I want a better understanding about what goes on on the other side, a better understanding FOR the other side, and I want a better outcome for others. Also, I appreciate your patience as I'll probably take a couple of weeks off of recording while I move in August. There will most likely be adventures to report on once I'm settled! Thank you, as always, for listening to this little podcast, and for your support and curiosity about different ways we can practice sustainability. This is the most fun I've ever had, and I appreciate all the feedback and listens! You can send me messages(this is new!)!

98: Energy Audits - Everything You Need to Know with Colin McCullough
Oh man, I learned SO much about energy audits from Colin McCullough! He's been doing audits for a long time, and is passionate about it. He is one of the very few people I've talked to who said he would do his job for free if he didn't need money to survive - that says so much to me about him. Energy Audits help you to see how to make your home more efficient - and it might not be what you think - it wasn't what I thought, at least... He also offers consulting services, so definitely hit him up if you're interested in an audit or have questions! I love Colin's story about when he was young and gave his family lightbulbs instead of scratch lottery tickets - I'm thrilled that he didn't stray from that childhood dream of making the world better. Colin is also a Vegan cookbook writer! WHAT?! So cool! And he teaches Vegan cooking at the hospital in Augusta - what a generous guy, to share his knowledge! Have you heard of an energy audit? Have you HAD an energy audit of your home? I'd love to hear from you how helpful it was for you! I've heard of them, but had no idea the extent of what happened. SO grateful to Colin for sharing this with us! Colin's books are titled Smoothies that Taste Like Girl Scout Cookies and The Healthy Vegan on Amazon here and here His website for his business All Around Home Performance is here: You can send me messages(this is new!)!

97: Laughter Yoga AND Worm Composting with Cathy Nesbitt
Oh my gosh, our friend Ande Lyons introduced us, and I was thrilled to get to talk to Cathy Nesbitt of Cathy's Composters about worm composting; I was told she also taught "Laughter Yoga," which I guess made sense, and was very curious about, but when I met Cathy on Zoom, I was instantly sold. Cathy has been teaching worm composting for over 2 decades (her WHY is so inspiring!), and has been teaching Laughter yoga for several years now - she has a weekly Chuckle Club zoom meeting on Tuesday mornings. I attended one of Cathy's Chuckle Club meetings, and let me tell you how awkward it felt to be silly and make myself laugh (even harder when at work); I didn't realize that it takes practice to let go when we work so hard at staying busy... But laughter really IS the best medicine, and Cathy talks about why that is in this conversation. As I'm pasting all of these links, I'm laughing, because Cathy told me she doesn't have a cell phone, which sounds weird in 2024, but she doesn't seem to be missing it; she has more links than I do! I so enjoyed the chance to hang out with Cathy and learn from her. She seems to lead a super maintained, but I have a feeling she values her "down time" just as well... You can find Cathy Nesbitt at any of the links below Cathy's worm composting website: https://www.cathyscomposters.com/ Her Laughter Yoga page: https://www.cathyscomposters.com/ She has a Linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cathynesbitt/ Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/rhgn2112 Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/Squirm And please check out the Chuckle Club - your mind and body will thank you later!

97: Mary Lewis and her Tiny Homestead
Mary Lewis has her own podcast called A Tiny Homestead, where she talks with other homesteaders and people doing "homestead-y" things... She's had some pretty impressive guests, like Joel Salatin and me... It makes me think of my plan before this podcast, so I'm loving following Mary to see how that goes! Mary's message that she's hoping you take away from this conversation: "take care of yourself, take care of the Earth, and always be curious-" you have to love that, right? Pretty much covers everything. I especially love that Mary is vocal about living on a small homestead, because I think that's a really important point to make; you don't have to live on a huge farm to be making a difference, or even providing for your family. And she does - you can hear it here! OH - and Mary grew up in Maine!

96: ReStyle with Shelly Cunningham
Y'all, if this conversation with Shelly Cunningham doesn't make you want to shop at Consignment stores over cheaply made box store clothes, I don't know what will change your mind- I didn't know what I've been missing! Shelly bought ReStyle, a consignment boutique, 12 years ago, and moved it a couple of times, but is now settled on Rte 1 in Freeport heading toward Yarmouth. When she invited me to come and see her place, I was curious, but not being a clothing shopper, a little scared that I'd be hounded. When I opened the door, Shelly called out "Hi Amy!" and I felt instantly at home - like the show Cheers (though I had set a time that I'd be there)... Shelly is so friendly and genuinely wants you to feel good about yourself leaving, so she waits on you, finding things that she thinks would look good on you - you see, for Shelly, it's not just a "clothing store," clothing is a tool to help create confidence and success. Shelly at ReStyle and her friend Tammy, who owns Kargos, another local consignment store that sells a lot of vintage items and natural fabric clothing, are Co-Hosting a Re-Fashion show this Friday 5/31 starting at 7pm in Freeport, and all are invited to celebrate second chance fashion that benefits Freeport Climate Action Now (FCAN).

Have you guys seen Monti Carlo on Instagram? How about the Food Network or other Food TV shows? I feel so out of the loop; I've watched so little TV the last bunch of years that I didn't know she was on TV... BUT I found her on Instagram, and watched her great food saving tip reels. And then one day I saw her back story, and I had to learn more about her. She was so generous to accept my podcast invite, and share her knowledge and passion for food waste with us, and I'm so excited to share this with you all!

Bonus: Maine Community Solar's Earth Month Celebration
This is Maine Community Solar's 2nd appearance on Grounded in Maine, and I couldn't be more thrilled! We met Tony Napolitano in the fall when he told us about Maine Community Solar and why it's a great opportunity for Mainers, and other states where there's a Community Solar farm available to utilize - this time Tony's bringing his Business Partner/Cousin John, and they're 'debating' whether trees or seas are more worthy of a donation (hint: they're BOTH worthy!) in honor of Earth Month. We talk about the benefits of having trees and ocean, and what we can do to protect them. We also, of course, talk about (Maine) Community Solar, why that's important, and how easy it is to sign up, utilize renewable energy and get a discount on your electric bill (that's a win win WIN!) Big thanks to Maine Community Solar for spending time with me, and for their constant dedication to helping people to participate in renewable energy and getting a discount on their electricity. They welcome questions about community solar any time, because education is top priority.

89: Rite of Passage Guide Nicholas Wasierski
Grounded in Maine is thrilled to be partnering with Connor Tyson to support listeners with financial coaching. Connect with Coach Connor Tyson of Progress Solutions LLC here: https://bit.ly/48eM9Mc Nicholas Wasierski reached out when I sent out an SOS after my "tech" issues (cat) and had to schedule re-dos for 3 conversations, and it took me a bit to understand what his practices are - in my defense, there are so many... But when he said he was a Rite of Passage Guide, I expected it to be more of a wilderness guide - boy was I wrong, and boy am I fascinated with this now! I was so close to asking for more context (a bit of a sample session), but I thought it might be too. long for you all to listen to in one sitting. But I plan to, and you can, once you get a taste here, too! Nicholas is also an Herbalist, and quotes Hippocrates saying "Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food." The 2 of these practices go together well, and serve his message that I added below - this is the message he hopes you'll leave this episode with more knowledge and curiosity of: Humans' connection to the natural world. Sustainability with how we manage our energy.

88: Sustainable Activism with Kadin McElwain
Grounded in Maine is thrilled to be partnering with Connor Tyson to support listeners with financial coaching. Connect with Coach Connor Tyson of Progress Solutions LLC here: https://bit.ly/48eM9Mc Kadin stepped in after I had a rough week technology-wise, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to see what he's up to! Kadin is a Sophomore at Kent State University, studying Public Relations, and is hoping to represent musicians. Last summer he worked on a farm and learned a lot about the difference in eating locally grown food vs what is often found in grocery stores, and is looking forward to working there again this summer, because working with the earth is good for you. Kadin is very passionate about being an activist, and standing up for what you believe in, and talks about how he practices sustainability in his activism for Autism and Climate Change, etc. You can find Kadin on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083352067155 And his writing is available here: https://www.thesportscol.com/author/kadin-mcelwain/ You can send me messages(this is new!)!

87: March Madness in Maine - Check In with Amy Fagan
Grounded in Maine is thrilled to be partnering with Connor Tyson to support listeners with financial coaching. This is such a great offer; to encourage self confidence and self sufficiency in finances! Connect with Coach Connor Tyson of Progress Solutions LLC here: https://bit.ly/48eM9Mc I have so many things spinning inside my head at any given time, so I did some thinking out loud for this week's episode. One thing is that I'm hoping this podcast is providing value to you. Could you please get in touch and let me know what you love or don't love? If you could leave a rating or review somewhere, that would be so helpful, if other people are looking for a great podcast about sustainability- The Menopause Panel Project is ON! I'm looking for people - women and men - to be part of the panel, and questions that you might have around menopause! Send me messages of ideas, or if you're interested in being part of this. I'm so excited to hear how different- or similar peoples' experiences are! And lastly, I'll be moving soon, and am curious what your sustainable priorities would be in a new (to you) home? I'll plan to put solar panels on if they're not already, and heat pumps; I've got a composter, and will definitely be having a garden. What else should I be considering?? I recently learned about a company called Solar Pro, and met with them - they said you can LEASE solar panels, and have them installed at no cost; you just pay the monthly charges for a number of years. That's such a cool offer, to not have the huge investment to start out, then you can bank up your savings and pay them off-- I love that! I also mentioned some really awesome upcoming episodes, including one with Connor Tyson (Coach Connor, from the sponsor ads), and his super great service, offering understanding of finances as a form of personal sustainability! Thank you so much for listening! Please give feedback on any or all of these points- I love getting to know your sustainable goals and what you're up to in general!

Grounded in Maine is thrilled to be partnering with Connor Tyson to support listeners with financial coaching. This is such a great offer; to encourage self confidence and self sufficiency in finances! Connect with Coach Connor Tyson of Progress Solutions LLC here: https://bit.ly/48eM9Mc I'm obsessed with Nicla Marinelli's business, The Runaway Italian, and Nicla's accent, her knowledge of the area, and the thought of "Secret Italy!" Nicla grew up in Rome, but moved to the UK, and eventually back to Italy, but to the south, this time. She worked in travel for many years, and has an extensive travel blog, but left the Tour Guide gig to start the kind of travel she would feel proud to be a part of; being more mindful of what is used, and also to cater to people who prefer a different kind of tour - off the beaten path, and hands on experiences, to remember with all your senses. It sounds so fabulous to me! Nicla goes into depth describing her business in this episode - listen in to hear all about it!

*Grounded in Maine is thrilled to be partnering with Connor Tyson to support listeners with financial coaching. Connect with Sponsor Coach Connor Tyson of Progress Solutions LLC here: https://bit.ly/48eM9Mc Wade Brill and I met in a podcasting workshop with One Stone Creative once or twice about a year ago, and have been supporting each other on Instagram since - Wade had a fun idea to interview me to talk about sustainable practices, and we agreed then to do a podcast trade - AND we did them back to back, like real podcasters! It was so great to get to know Wade better, and to hear some of her story and what drives her, and her work and podcast fit so well into my pivot this year to learn more personal sustainability tips with her podcast Centered in the City where she talks about mindfulness and meditations and other health-minded practices to calm the nervous system in this busy world. Wade lives in Seattle, WA, but grew up in New York City, and had a farm in her family's close connections for many years, so she has a strong connection to farm life - and she has great stories to share about it. She talked about her passion for travel, and her conflict of trying to be more sustainable, but also the pull to travel, and I know there are others who must share those feelings. And she also brought back a European habit from a recent trip that she talks about - hear more here!

Connect with Sponsor Coach Connor Tyson of Progress Solutions LLC here: https://bit.ly/48eM9Mc I learn so much from Lauren Landers, AKA The Zero Waste Homestead on Instagram, so I thought it would be fun to record some stuff for the rest of us to get to hear. Lauren is something of a Sustainability Educator in Northern Maine (north of me, at least), which I didn't realize until we were talking, but who better to chat with about sustainability, right? Worked out perfectly! Lauren moved to Ellsworth, Maine just a couple of years ago, and is making a name for herself by speaking at events and gardening classes, etc in her area. This is her first podcast appearance, though - first of many, I imagine! The two of us geeked out a little about worms, and talked about shampoo bars and the cleaners and soaps she makes- listen to the whole conversation here- You can find Lauren on the socials here: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zerowaste.homestead/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thezerowastehomestead/ Twitter/X : https://twitter.com/ZeroHomestead And her website is here: https://zerowastehomestead.com/ You can send me messages(this is new!)!

*Grounded in Maine is thrilled to be partnering with Connor Tyson to support listeners with financial coaching. Connect with Sponsor Coach Connor Tyson of Progress Solutions LLC here: https://bit.ly/48eM9Mc Hayley Knight and I started our "mutual admiration society" on Instagram and decided to pair up and talk about the cool things that she's up to, since I talk all the time, and her life seems way more exciting than mine... Hayley and her spouse Marcus have a PR firm called Be Yellow and are traveling the world; they are 2 and 1/2 years in right now. This all started from a severe career burnout, and Hayley was ordered by a Dr to get away. We learn a lot about burnout and the danger of letting it get too far, how Hayley is keeping it at bay, and what lights her up these days. As well as learning about where they've traveled... Hayley's firm works with sustainable businesses, and that's a non-negotiable for them; it's that important to only support people who are working to better the earth's situation. It must be so satisfying to be able to exercise that kind of power! When asked what message Hayley wanted to leave the listeners with, it was this: " Do what you can, with what you have." She also said "We have to Progress to make progress..." which I loved. Hear all about Haley here!

Connect with Sponsor Coach Connor Tyson of Progress Solutions LLC here: https://bit.ly/48eM9Mc When I say this guest is special, you may be thinking that I keep saying it (it's true, and I feel so lucky to get to talk to all of these incredible people!), but Karee Upendo is truly an inspiration. This episode is a little on the shorter side, but I hope that you'll follow her on Instagram or TikTok where she's active, to get more from her, but I fully intend to do more with Karee in the future, because she is a powerful force and a great role model! I don't want to spoil her story, but Karee did not have a typical childhood, but you know, that's why she has so much heart for what she's doing. She was a designer, she was a teacher, and now she's a farmer - an autistic black farmer, paving the way for the next generation, and showing them all that's possible if you believe in yourself. Listen here to learn more, and be hooked on Karee like me! I usually give the website address, but the LinkTree covers that and so much more!

Startup Farm Stories with Ben Whatley Part 2!
I met Ben Whatley officially in 2020, just as the Covid Pandemic was ramping up, and, as a farmer, Ben was reserving time at the commercial kitchen I used for my jam business, and was asked to help rent out, so we talked - and he was SO cool. So much to share, and so much knowledge and passion for caring for the earth he was responsible for. I felt that instantly, and he was one of my first thoughts when starting this podcast, because he is so open about a lot of things. Let me tell you I learned a LOT in this conversation! I had no idea how much Ben would share, and how cool of a story he had! Languages, car breaking down, crop failure, but also tons of great wins - he's had some of his employees for years! They have a great attitude toward crap weather. He has 2 cutie baby kids (I found out about # 2 just before recording - he's 11 weeks old!), and a beautiful life partner, and supportive family. So many things inspire me about Ben and his farming practices - I'll let him tell them over these 2 episodes, but one of my favorite things if their dedication to use less plastic - and that they have Anna, who loves trying out recipes with the produce and sharing (we'll talk about it in the 2nd episode), but also how the farmers in Maine all share info and help each other out with new ideas and tips to get past hurdles - for instance, this past summer's deluge of rain...

80: Sonya Parenti, AKA Miss Love Terra, Talking About Fast Fashion!
Shoot, This moment has been a long time coming for me, and I couldn't be more happy to share this with you all - I'm such a big fan of Sonya Parenti - Miss Love Terra on Instagram, and her hard work to educate people and ask for mindfulness when purchasing cheap clothing, to be wary of its journey and consequences. I think I pride myself in being somewhat of a 'system bucker,' and fashion in general is not my thing (if you see me in pics I'm usually wearing a flannel shirt and jeans), so I enjoy this poking at the fashion worlf maybe a little more than I should... These are Sonya's own words from my guest form: " I’m full of enthusiasm about joining this podcast because, as an experienced professional in the fashion industry, I have a deep knowledge about the industry's complexities and challenges. I believe that transforming the fashion business is crucial in our collective efforts to address global warming. This podcast, hosted by Amy, serves as a powerful platform to have meaningful conversations and inspire change in ourselves and others. By joining forces, we can boost our impact, educating and motivating listeners to make choices that favour ethical and sustainable fashion. My goal is to use this opportunity to contribute to a more sustainable future, sharing insights and strategies that can guide us towards a greener, more responsible fashion industry." And I just LOVED this (my fave question on the guest form) "The message I want listeners to take away is an understanding of the impact of collective actions on the environment. The quote 'RELAX IT’S JUST ONE CHEAP T-SHIRT', SAID 8 BILLION PEOPLE, highlights that while individual choices may seem small, when multiplied across billions of people, they have a huge impact on society and the environment. It's a call to be more conscious of our buying decisions, understanding that our demand for cheap, fast fashion contributes to unsustainable practices, environmental degradation, and poor labor conditions. The key takeaway for listeners is that people have the power to change big issues with our small daily choices." Really, Sonya doesn't need me to add anything to this at all.

Welcome back to Part 2 of Mara Mennicken's conversation- we get a little bit deep, and it is fun to see so much passion from Mara - and it's much more than chocolate alone. Mara talks about social sustainability, and if you're trying to imagine what that's like in your head, just listen here - it's at the beginning of this segment, and it's SO good. I ask the question below to everyone in my guest form, and I just loved her answer: Is there a specific message you'd like listeners to come away with? " Put your dollar where your heart is! Every dollar spent is a mini investment in the people and their mission who are behind the product or service- Buying local, organic, or from social enterprises makes an impact!"

78: Sustainable Chocolate with Mara Mennicken, The GOOD Chocolatier (part 1)
*This conversation was long, but I couldn't bare to take anything out, so I split it into 2 weeks, so make sure to listen next week for the wrap up!* Mara Mennicken and I met on a podcasting Facebook page and it took me a fraction of a second reading about her sustainable chocolate business to know I had to have her on the podcast to tell me all about it! Mara is from Germany, but came to British Columbia as part of a school exchange program, and knew she wanted to be there. She's done very well for herself, it seems! Her thoughts on sustainability are a little more broad than some people's, and I'm totally here for it. Her company is sustainable, but more than just physical, like packaging and product, but social sustainability is very important to her, and she'll explain how and why. And speaking of important, I ask the question below to everyone in my guest form, and I just loved her answer: Is there a specific message you'd like listeners to come away with? " Put your dollar where your heart is! Every dollar spent is a mini investment in the people and their mission who are behind the product or service- Buying local, organic, or from social enterprises makes an impact!"

79: Talking with Tessa Terry of Alchemy RV Renovations!
I approached Tessa Terry on Facebook when I saw her post about her RV renovation business Alchemy RV Renovations because I was so intrigued - then I followed her on Instagram - oh my gosh, if you're on Instagram, you need to follow her! These RVs are 100% renovated and made brand new on the inside, and she shines them up on the outside, too! They go from basic , and possibly used and run down, to roomy and luxurious when Tessa is done with them! Tessa has been in this business for about 2 years - TWO YEARS. She is booked up this year already! She has had several requests to renovate RVs in Australia! She just has a real gift for small space design that is unmatched. Wait til you hear her tell her story - if you're listening only, I bet you can imagine my face in your head when she talks about her HS graduation... Tessa is married, is a mom of 2, and grew up in a family that bought 'fixer-upper' houses, and her parents have had a lampshade business for about 30 years, so she totally gets the value of working with your hands. A quote from her website: "When I was little, I used to say “If men could go to the moon, this stuff on earth is cake” - Nothing is impossible, sometimes it just needs a new floor plan. " She has designed her own life, and she's giving RVs and other rigs a new life, which is so cool.

77: FarmDrop CEO Hannah Semler Talks about Farming, Food and Community
I am so thrilled to share this conversation with you guys - I have wanted to have Hannah Semler on the podcast since the beginning! I'm a big fan of FarmDrop - I'm both a customer and a vendor, and I love having the ability to try items from several different local farmers that are bringing their product practically to me! Hannah will say it better, so I'll leave her to it. Hannah also hosted a podcast called What is American Food, because she is so passionate about the origins - AND she was working with a food waste rescue group as well. She also started a FarmDrop delivery program for Seniors who are homebound, so they, too can be nourished by our skilled farmers. Listen to the episode for more about all of this, and why Farmdrop is so important to her! Hannah and her trusty sidekick Barley travel the state of Maine together, making sure things are organized and operating smoothly when customers come to pick up their goods. There are several dropoff/pickup Hubs throughout the state, and trying to get the vendors' products spread to other hubs than the one closest to them can't be easy! You're going to love Hannah - I can't imagine not loving her passion for what she does! Call to Action: I'd love to share this episode wide, and see if we can get some interest in other areas of the country for FarmDrop! Do you know of an area lacking a farmers market, or are you interested in being a FarmDrop vendor? The reach is WIDE with these products! FarmDrop website is here - check out all the options available at different locations, and see how cool it would be to start your own or be part of one! Reach out to Hannah with inquiries about FarmDrop! https://farmdrop.us/ Farmdrop is on Instagram and Facebook as @farmdropus You can send me messages(this is new!)!

76: Jen Joray's Move from City to Eastern River Farm
I know I keep saying that this episode is SO good, but I really feel like it is - and this conversation is no different - I had such a great time talking to Jen Joray of Eastern River Farm - I loved hearing their process of going from city dwellers to farmers, because I feel like it's a dream of many - at least mine, but I have a feeling that others are feeling it, too. So this can be somewhat of a 'blueprint' of a path - or an example of how it can be done - and successfully! They are teaching their daughters all the aspects of the farm, and have them assist with as much as possible. The farm business is mainly wedding flowers - did you see that coming? You may want to consider after listening to Jen talk about them! Jen and her husband were doing their best to provide for their 2 daughters as teachers in Massachusetts when her Chemist husband one day came home and said " I think I need to be a farmer." And so they made that happen. But the journey wasn't instant, which is helpful - she documents it well, for anyone wanting to follow their lead... Jen is an educator through and through, and has done SO much research into soil amendments and animal husbandry and planting and what plants work well, and ALL the farmy subjects, and, educator that she is, would absolutely LOVE to have to opportunity to share the info and experience that she's gained - seriously! Reach out to me, or reach out to her with any questions, and if she doesn't know the answer, she'll want to learn, and will find the answer for you! Please check out https://www.easternriverfarm.com and/or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/easternriverfarm/ or Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Easternriverfarm/ to see and learn more.

75: Your Story, Your Purpose, With Brenda Simmons
I was recently a guest on Brenda Simmons' podcast Be You: Your Story Your Purpose, and getting to know Brenda was such a nice time, and we really bonded over so many things, so we decided to continue the conversation over here. Brenda has so many things to talk about, like growing up close to her grandparents and learning from them, and the internships she did at school, how she's feeding her own family... we learned that we were both in Utah at the same time (I was only there for a year)! Brenda's podcast is fairly new, and she's doing so well with it - 2 episodes weekly! She has really great topics to encourage women/people to find their own story to share to help others. Here's the link to it: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thebeyoupodcast I just loved this and had to keep it - from the guest form: Is there a specific message you'd like listeners to come away with?

74: Living and Playing in a Sustainable World with Barbara Tibbetts
Barbara Tibbetts and I met sort of by chance on Linkedin, when a friend (shout out to Ande Lyons!) tagged me in Barbara's post about the Sustainability event she hosted in Nantucket this summer, and we've been talking regularly ever since - we found that we have a lot in common; we're both trying to spread the word about sustainability and that we should all be making more of an effort... Here is a quote from her podcast guest form: "We can all make choices to live sustainably with the correct knowledge and make a difference for our health and the health and well being of our planet." Does that sound like someone that I'd want to hang out with, or what? Barbara has started developing a website - a resource, to search different ways of being sustainable - it's still in the works, and possibly always will be, but check out Living and Playing in a Sustainable world here: https://www.lapsnow.com/ Barbara is currently focusing a lot of her energy learning about PFAS, and trying to repair some of the damage done during our non-stick everything phase. She's so passionate, and is doing some excellent work; listen for more in this episode!

73: Amy's Look Back at the Year, and Upcoming Changes and Episodes
This is my 2nd December - wow! This is a toughie, as I'm in a bit of a tender place these days, but most of this year has been pretty amazing, and I have so much to be grateful for - namely the incredible people I've had the honor of speaking with and learning from, and the great folks who keep the social media lively and a fun place to hang out - I love getting to know you all! The end of the year has taken a turn I hadn't expected, and I'll be making some changes of my own, but I don't intend to change much in terms of the podcast, BUT I do have some thoughts of things I'd like to incorporate, in light of my current life situation, starting with a Menopause Panel, to discuss this taboo subject that leaves us feeling broken and crazy (these are my words - it's possible that everyone doesn't feel this way, but they might) and just not knowing what is happening in their own body. I think this would be helpful for for anyone who interacts with people who are experiencing menopause, so don't think it's aimed at anyone specific. If you'd like to be on this panel, or add anything to be discussed, please be in touch with me. I'm feeling the need to be loud about this, and also bring to light other personal sustainability topics, so send me your ideas. The year isn't over yet! I've got some super interesting folks these last few weeks, and into the new year - don't miss out! Thank you for being with me this first full year of podcasting - I'm loving this so much!

Philomene Cauchois is just the most graceful, easy to be with person, and I could've spent hours talking with her.

72: Learning About a New Homesteading Journey with Kathryn Garland
Kathryn Garland is a super energetic mom, spouse and newer homesteader who is so real, and in the best way - I love how she lays it out. I also LOVE that she's in British Columbia. Literally on my tiny bucket list of 2 places I need to go someday! She shares a great message of start where you are and expand as you can, which is so simple, yet really works for everything, right? So profound. At least for me. Kathryn shares their beginning story, which is only about a year and a half, and how insanely quickly they scaled up (she's not an "ease in" type of person), and how that's working. She's also about to release her podcast, called Homespun, which I'm SO excited for! She said November 20, so be on the lookout - I sure will be! We do touch on some of the harder parts of homesteading (animal death), so I want you to be aware if you're extra sensitive to that. I needed a second to compose myself, but it's part of the journey, and it happens and is important to be prepared for. This is part of Kathryn's Instagram Bio: " Home based living (food, education, homesteading, healing) Loving life and simple pleasures" I love that so much! Simple pleasures - so profound! Please give Kathryn a follow on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/homespun.kathryn/ and be on the lookout around November 20 for the Homespun Podcast!

She told me about saving lettuce seeds, which is something I've been wondering about for years, and taught me about lettuce seeds in general - GAME CHANGING stuff!! Kathy is a really busy lady! She's written 2 books, publishes the monthly Washington Gardener magazine (and award winning publication for Mid Atlantic growers!), and has for many years, is President of a number of flower clubs - OH, and she also has a podcast!

70: The Serial Sustainable Entrepreneur Dragos Nistor!
I've been following Dragos Nistor for a while now on Linkedin, and am always in awe of the beautiful things that he posts of his honey business Honeybee and Co and his lavender business Lavender Gold, and I was so excited to get to actually talk with him and learn more about him! I'm going to let him tell you about him; I don't want to spoil it, but he's very mindful about sustainability in everything that he does. Dragos was born in Romania, and grew up in Italy, and now lives in the UK, but still has very close ties to where he comes from. Dragos's future was all planned out as a banker, but he took a steep detour and followed his passion and his family roots in beekeeping, and hasn't looked back. His creativity and entrepreneurial nature weren't able to be ignored, and with good reason. He has so many things spinning all the time - he doesn't do still well! I'm excited for you all to hear this story - listen in here!

Sustainable Preparedness Talk With Brekke Wagoner
Brekke (rhymes with Becky) Wagoner's message with Sustainable Prepping is a little different than others and I'm so here for it! She's talking about preparing for a disaster or emergency, and just having a little extra to fall back on, to ease your mind in times of stress. In her own words, "With global climate change impacting our weather to be more intense more often, having an emergency preparedness plan isn’t just for doomsday preppers. It’s common sense and will allow you to be confident in the midst of a crisis." Of course for me, growing up in the Mormon church, preparedness is taught, so I get it, and a lot of older generations may as well, but her aim is the younger generations, to teach that calm in the midst of crisis to the next generation as well. Listen here to learn more - I promise it's fun! Brekke is really active on the socials, so check her out!

67: A Conversation with Tony Napolitano, CEO of Maine Community Solar!
You guys, this is a big deal - for me, at least. I think that solar energy is such an easy way to harness energy - it's just a big investment... BUT - have you noticed the huge solar farms on the side of the road over the last several years? We're talking about those today! Tony Napolitano didn't say "I'm the CEO of Maine Community Solar," when he filled out my guest form, but I'm so glad it was him I got to talk to- he was so great, and has so much passion for his business. Maine Community Solar's job is mainly education, so they're ready for your questions! Their goal, and community solar in general, is to set up folks who don't have the means to have a full solar array, or don't own their home, to be able to enjoy the benefits of solar energy, and to engage more renewable energy in the regions. I'll let him tell you more - just listen in! I had a huge AHA here, and I am on fire right now! Please listen in!

Ok, so it's been 6 months coming, since Jenny Boghun was my podcast guest and I said she would come back to go over this list 23 Frugal Living Tips from the Great Depression You Need to Know to Save a Ton of Money that she learned from her parents, and I've realized that I have lost all concept of time... But here she is - better late than never, right? If you remember, Jenny's previous episode was called Big Living on a Tiny Homestead, and she talked about her tiny house, and her composting toilet, and she lives on Out of My Gourd Farm and grows gourds (duh)... She's had a super busy summer with her Tiniest Farmstand in Maine, and other homestead projects. She's just back from celebrating her dad's 95th birthday, and these tips are very special to her, since she learned so many from him.

Bonus: Happy International Podcasting Day! Special Episode Joined by Amy Lewis
Happy International Podcasting Day, everyone! To honor the incredible community that podcasting is, and the amazing small world that I apparently live in, I recorded a fun episode with my new podcasting friend Amy Lewis, who also lives in my town, and has a super awesome podcast called Pop Culture Retrospective, to honor her older sister, who she lost a few years ago. It's such a fun podcast, and I've wanted to be wanted to be a guest on her podcast since I started listening, so this was a dream! Amy is the best host, and knows SO many facts about pop culture! I remember our first real conversation - I had commented on a few of her episodes previously, but she commented on my episode about Springworks Farm in Lisbon Maine, and said one of her students worked there, and she was happy to learn more about it, and my brain was spinning in so many directions, thinking that this podcaster that I'd been following could be local-- Amy quizzed me on 90s trivia, and 90s pees, I let you down, I'm so sorry. In my defense, I was attempting to appreciate country music in Utah, and working in the 90s, so not really in "the scene" (like I was in High School lol), but Amy didn't tell me I sucked... Please find Amy and Pop Culture Retrospective where you listen to podcasts - her website is here https://www.popcultureretrospective.com/ She's also on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/popcultureretrospective/ Amy is also an amazing photographer!

65: Sustainable Sensory Toys and More With Jennifer Stalley
I loved this conversation with Jennifer Stalley, whose life is just so interesting! Jennifer lives in California with her spouse and daughter, loves horses and gardening and works in marketing. She came to a stark realization during the Pandemic that sparked Meemzy Magic toys. She was purchasing sensory toys for her daughter who was very young during the Pandemic, since everyone was home all day, but still had to work - she decided she was able to make them herself, in a more sustainable way, that was every bit as entertaining, if not more so. She tells this story SO much better than I do, so listen in here! Jennifer is a Kindred Spirit, and just so aware of her responsibilities when it comes to the future, and shares some startling stats that blew my mind. You can check out sensory toys and kits at Meemzy Magic here: https://www.meemzymagic.com Jennifer is on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087911356315 She's on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/meemzymagic/ Check out her Youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@meemzymagic You can send me messages(this is new!)!

64 Stephanie Bolduc: A Woman of Environmental Passion!
This conversation was so fun for me, as I am enjoying so much getting to know Stephanie Bolduc, whose dad is my cousin. They live in the UK, so I don't get to see them often, and I didn't know Stephanie really at all until this year! Stephanie is very involved in environmental issues, and she takes her footprint on the earth very seriously, but in the most gracious way. She has discovered foraging recently and really enjoys finding new uses and value in what we see outside. She is also learning about hot compost (I didn't know about it either, if you were thinking that), and lets us know what she's learning. Hear all about it in the episode! Stephanie went to school to work in theater (is it theatre in the UK?), and was creating costumes and theater sets, so she's super crafty and creative. You can find Stephanie on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/bold_duck/ She has a 2nd Instagram account for home renovations and cat pictures here: https://www.instagram.com/number_98_mate/ She's also on TikTok at: https://www.tiktok.com/@98_mate You can send me messages(this is new!)!

63: Andrea Canny's Big Sustainable Community Idea
I just love Andrea Canny; she had mentioned this idea on another podcast, and I was just dying to tease it out and learn more about it, so here it is! Andrea has a heart of gold and just LOVES her slice of heaven where she's living in Cincinnatti, and with good reason! Andrea Canny is a fantastic actor, singer, artist and teacher, and that's what I know from spending 3 days with her in March of 2022 at the Podcastaway Retreat, to learn the ins and outs of beginning podcasting with the 10K Dollar Day podcast folks. Andrea was the Podcast Producer at the time, and I felt instantly at home with her, and we bonded over gardening and cooking and family. Now she's a Virtual Assistant while looking for the next acting gig, and managing her family's home property where she grew up. Andrea's idea makes me so jealous of people who live near her, knowing her incredible plans for her space, but I'll let her tell you - just listen here! Here's Andrea's website to see what she's up to: http://www.andreacanny.com/ Her Instagram account is here: https://www.instagram.com/pupbutt/ TikTok link is here: https://www.tiktok.com/@pupbutt?lang=en Linkedin link is here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreacanny/ Facebook link is here: https://www.facebook.com/andreacannysings/ You can send me messages(this is new!)!

62: What's Great About Krill Oil? With Nancy Chan
Nancy Chan's information that she shared was fascinating! Nancy works with Kori Krill Oil, and shares why Krill Oil is a better supplement than Fish Oil, which I've been taking for years, and how Kori is sustainably harvesting it. That alone was pretty great, but she has so much more to share! Remember, Nancy is talking with little ole me, and she was so patient while I asked my silly questions. I'm totally sold now, and can't wait to try Krill Oil.

61: Smart Recycling and Less Household Waste with Julia Goldstein
Julia Goldstein is a real gem of a human, and I'm so glad we connected! Julia is an author in Washington state and lifelong learner who loves to explain complex subjects, who also is very passionate about sustainability, and she combines the two things to help us to get to the bottom of the mysteries of recycling and other areas - how awesome is that? She's written a few short books to explain recycling and composting, and she has a blog where she offers updated information on things she's currently excited about. If you subscribe to this blog when you check out her website, she offers a really great gift! In Julia's own words: "I believe that our society needs to change how we make all kinds of products, and individuals can influence businesses through our buying decisions. I can share the changes I have made in the past 5-10 years as I've learned more about packaging, composting, recycling, and similar topics."

60: Less Junk, More Journey, With Michael Andersen
Gosh, did I have a great time talking with Michael Andersen about living in his RV! Life is so much more than living in an RV, though, and that's where it got really interesting. I want to leave you with something to gain from listening, but know that Michael has quite the story, and is making the most of this time now. I'm hoping to get to meet him in person when he travels to Maine this fall! Michael is a website designer, and also created a website for his fellow Nomads, to help them find farmers' markets and good food, and to share great places to travel and see, as well as a way to connect with others. Check out https://travelinggatherings.com/ I was so impressed with how much thought Michael had invested in this adventure, and how much his life has changed, living in a 180 square foot RV in the best ways - listen here for details!

59: Get Crafty, Not Trashy with Liz McDade
I was excited to get to talk with Liz McDade, because I'm a daydream crafter, but don't give myself time to learn to do new things. I had no idea who I was speaking with, though! Liz is no joke on the crafting and sustainability front! Check out this link of speaking events she's done! https://notraceshop.com/media/ Liz is also SO easy to speak with, and I love that she is so real about perfection. She has a shop where you can buy some crafted low-waste items, but she is moving toward teaching these days, which is an extra gift, to learn and keep the skills you've learned! AND, for any old school TV fans out there, Liz and her brother have a podcast where they watch the TV show Columbo 1 episode at a time and talk about it - it's called Trench Coat, Cigar, Peugeot: Wandering with Columbo!

58: Author Liz Shipton On Exploring the World In a Sailboat
Liz Shipton's story is a fascinating one; she's a musician and author, and her partner is a sailing instructor, so they bought a boat and are spending 3-5 YEARS sailing the world. So far they're almost 2 years in, and she's published several books out of a 9 book series. Oh, and they have their dog Ayloy, with them, too (sorry I called her Loki - that's the boat's name)! Liz's books are based loosely on their adventures, and also on climate change; which she'll talk about how that's affecting this adventure... Book one is called Salt, and is available on Amazon/Kindle, found here: https://www.amazon.com/Salt-Spicy-Dystopian-Fantasy-Thalassic-ebook/dp/B0BZN2K9F9/ref=sr_1_1?crid=Z1E06B18BOO1&keywords=liz+shipton+salt&qid=1691151408&sprefix=liz+shipton%2Caps%2C131&sr=8-1 I love stories like Liz's, because her love of the earth and the beauty that surrounds her also motivates to take better care of it. (There is a method I'm working toward). Sailing the world is an education in many ways, and she seems to be taking it all in- You can find Liz Shipton on TikTok here: https://tiktok.com/ Or on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/lizshiptonauthor/ Her sailing adventure Instagram page is here: https://instagram.com/sv_loki Liz's Facebook page is here: https://facebook.com/lizshiptonauthor And her website is here: https://lizshipton.com You can send me messages(this is new!)!

57: Merge Impact's Ben Adolph and Beth Robertson Martin Talk Food Sustainability
Wow, this was an eye opening conversation for me! I realized that my expectation of food sustainability is very childish (child-like?), thinking that just growing good food and making sure that everyone can eat is all we need to know. Ben Adolph and Beth Robertson-Martin are the Co-Founders of Merge Impact, and they are crunching data to assist farmers in this food system "situation" that we're in, and thank goodness for that! There is really so much more to growing food on a large scale, and what growers have been doing for many years is not nurturing the earth, so Merge Impact is encouraging change to heal the earth, to provide more nutrient dense food for everyone, and to create biodiversity. Listen here to hear them say it better than I can! I was also happily corrected with Beth's answer and Ben's agreement about what sustainability means to them, and I agree wholeheartedly! SO much great info shared - listen in to this great conversation here! ** NOTE TO FARMERS: Please check this out - this is a FREE service to farmers of all sizes!** Check out Merge Impact's website to learn more: https://mergeimpact.com/ Here is the company's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/merge-impact/ Here is Ben's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-adolph-b7737586/ Here is Beth's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beth-robertson-martin-a692b94/ You can send me messages(this is new!)!

Bonus: Break the Silence on Domestic Violence with Veronica Life
I realize this is not the topic we're used to hearing about on this podcast, but it's a necessary one, and I'm happy to support it. Veronica Life and I met virtually at Podfest Global in April, when she talked about domestic violence and stole everyone's heart. The Numospect folks that I've been working with for the last year were also affected, and every Friday on their live show (1:30-2:30pm EST on all socials) they have Veronica on to talk about domestic violence, to make it a less taboo subject, because people need to not feel alone in their experiences. Veronica shares some sobering numbers, as well as her own story, and why we need to make this a priority. What I've been most struck by is her goal to change a person's experience from shame, and leave them feeling JOY and hope. There's a lot of work to get there, but I'm inspired by the work that is happening with The Purple it Up for Domestic Violence Awareness people. There are many ways to help support this organization! From money donations, to purchasing merch (the shirts are unbelievably comfy!), to offering services or home space for victims, taking the Purple it up Challenge to sharing the message, to being a friend and supporting those who need it. I'm inspired by the work that Veronica and her team do daily, and want to support them in any way that I can, like featuring a podcast episode on domestic violence. I have taken the pledge to not drop the ball on domestic violence awareness - will you join me?

56: A Touch of Creativity to Change Everything With Philomene Cauchois
Philomene Cauchois is just the most graceful, easy to be with person, and I could've spent hours talking with her. Philomene has her own podcast called Une Touche de Créativité Pour Tout Changer (A Touch of Creativity to Change Everything), to help people to find creative, fun ways to reduce waste and to just tread lighter in the world, and I'm here for it! She's been updating her own website to be ready for this episode to air, knowing that my listeners are mainly English speaking, and she's prepared some really wonderful things, including some of her favorite, regularly used recipes to share! Philomene is practically zero waste, even with 2 sons and a spouse, she makes almost everything, or buys from neighbors or local farms, she repurposes, gardens, homeschools, and really focuses on being light with her footprint. She lives in France, in what looks like a fairytale place called Chanteloup (which is now on my travel bucket list) Philomene puts out a weekly newsletter that we can subscribe to here: https://creativitytochangeeverything.com/freezerowasterecipe/ this also gets you the free recipes, including her fermented ketchup! Her facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/unetouchedecreativitepourtoutchanger And her beautiful Instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/touchedecreativite/ They are both in French, so you can practice, or just close your eyes and enjoy the peace that her language and posts bring.

55: Cool Your Sweats With Cathy Rust
WOW, did I learn a ton during this conversation! Cathy Rust and I talked about so many things menopause related, and just people who run hotter would benefit from some of this. We talked about fabrics that are better for your skin and why, and the nightgown that Cathy designed for forks who suffer from night sweats. Cathy Rust's specialty is in Green Building, so she learned about fabrics in that area, but it sure has come in handy in this venture! I was telling my husband about the nightgown and the conversation about fabrics, and he asked if there was a t shirt - instead I bought her pillowcases, so I'll report back- You can find Cathy on Facebook here: https://facebook.com/coolyoursweats She's also on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/coolyoursweats/ Cathy recommends checking out this link for more info and support around menopause https://menopause.org/for-women You can send me messages(this is new!)!

54: Midcoast Vegan's Tim Holland Talks Sustainable Food Choices
Tim Holland is a super interesting guy, and I'm so glad for the chance to get to know him! He is a musician, a podcaster and makes kick butt vegan meats and cheeses! I've met Tim a couple of times in the last few years, but got to see a better picture of who he really is in this conversation - he is a man who wears many hats! Husband, dad, rapper, plant enthusiast, gardener, cook, world traveler. I'm sure I missed a bunch of other things, but that's what I remember! Tim tells the story of how he came to make vegan meats and cheeses, and he makes very popular Italian sandwiches and charcuterie plates with them - a family member of mine told me how incredible the sandwiches are! Listen here for the full conversation, and enjoy the crickets in the background - Tim was outside since everyone in the house was sleeping.

53: Fred Horch Talks About His Sustainability Handbook and Store
I had Fred Horch in my mind from the moment I started considering a podcast about sustainability, since I knew that he had a store that carried a ton sustainable home items, and his political ventures were in support of the constituents. Fred owns an energy company called Spark that works with businesses in Maine to update old and inefficient systems. He also volunteers with our local Rotary group, and at Maine's Common Ground Agricultural Fair, managing the attendees' composted items. Fred's store, FW Horch not only sold goods, but offered free advice how to use the items sold, and how to add other updates - so cool! Fred is an excellent example of sustainable living, and is a wealth of knowledge -Mainers are lucky to have such great leadership in this field! This is a longer episode, but I did cut out a little bit to try to be as close to 1 hour as possible; there was just so much for Fred to cover! You can catch the full conversation on YouTube! Find what Fred's up to at his website here, and subscribe to his handbook to get so much info how to be more sustainable in different ways: https://horchhandbook.com/ Fred is also on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/fredhorch You can send me messages(this is new!)!

A Conversation About Ethical Fashion With Rachael Roberts
Rachael approached me to ask if we could promote her ethical, affordable clothing line, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity! I love the ease of this conversation, and I LOVE her ideas! She found a very cool manufacturer near her(Wales) that will take old, even holey clothing back and reuse it! They use natural fibers and dyes, and have a system that doesn't dump into waterways (hallelujah!). Rachael talks about the need for affordability in sustainable clothing, and products in general, which I totally agree with. Her dog Goldie makes an appearance in the YouTube version. Keep your eye out for these clothes! Rachel's clothing line is called ByRAR, and the website is here: https://byrar.com/ You can follow Rachael on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/byrar_/ She's also on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@byrar_?lang=en You can send me messages(this is new!)!

Happy 1st Birthday to Grounded in Maine Podcast!
Wow - I'm so excited that I've officially been a published podcaster for a year! Thank you to all who have listened, been a featured guest and taught me, those who has given feedback and encouragement, been part of my community - thank YOU for the opportunity to share this message of sustainability! This past year has been nothing short of life changing. I was asked to have a documentary Director on my podcast to promote regenerative agriculture - little old me; a newbie podcaster! I was given the opportunity to sell Amy's Garden Jam to Broadway! I was just invited to host a table at an upcoming conference of Social Workers to share my message of sustainability and community! And I've gotten to meet such stellar people in the podcast space, and in podcast guests! I'm just a whole lot of grateful for this past year of growth, and am looking forward to continuing to serve and learn to be a better steward of this globe that we call home. I've had people ask me what my favorite conversations have been so far, and every single person I've spoken with has added to my world in a different way, and there's no reason to make it competitive. It's all so valuable! Here's to another year of sharing stories of change and working toward community sufficiency, friendship, and learning! You can send me messages(this is new!)!

Desiree McCabe Isn't Afraid to Try Anything - In the Best Way!
*Disclaimer: we know the sound is not awesome. It was Earth Day, and Desiree was outside to enjoy it. When offered to re-record, she didn't want to take away from the authenticity of the conversation, and I'm honoring that. Please still listen - the message is SO good!* Desiree and her fiance Davis and I talked about having this chat last OCTOBER while farm stand shopping, and I'm so excited about this finally airing! I am in awe of people who can say "what's the worst that could happen?" and do whatever thing they want to - I'm such a scaredy cat! Desiree didn't grow up in a 'homestead-y' home, though she says she remembers her grandmother gardening - we just were young, and weren't thinking about what they were doing as sustainable- it was just a 'grandmothery thing,' so we didn't give any attention. These days, though, Desiree's not only gardening, but she's eating weeds from her lawn - and more! I just love her attitude about it all, and also ALL that she's doing is such a contrast from where she was, and that impresses me so much. Desiree works full time, and on weekends you'll find her making the week's bread or kombucha, tending her chickens and garden- and always with her beautiful, super sweet dog. She also said something so powerful toward the end of this episode that I hope you'll catch!

47: Get Outside with Amy Bushatz of Humans Outside Podcast
I was stopped in my tracks when Amy Bushatz told me about her project Humans Outside 365 - it was so simple, yet we all have times when we need a break, and basking in the sun just changes your whole outlook, right? Amy has her own podcast called- you guessed it, Humans Outside. She has done a lot of research, and has talked to so many people (she's got over 300 episodes published!) about the benefits of outside time, and will tell us about just a few of them in this conversation, and, more importantly, what brought her to this place in her life to make this choice and spend so much time talking about it. Amy is a journalist by trade, and moved her family from Tennessee to Alaska without even visiting. She documents each day/outside 'session' with an Instagram post, so definitely follow her there! Amy Bushatz and her family since we talked have traveled to Hollywood, CA and the White House to promote a documentary that they were involved in - again, you'll have to check out her Instagram posts to get caught up, but get a good look at Amy and her passion for outside in this episode!

I found Joy Kelly on Linkedin and was impressed by how active she is there, and when I learned about her rooftop farm I knew I had to have her talk on the podcast. Joy is super passionate about healthy eating, and is doing everything she can to share the message, and I'm here for it all! Joy has a produce growing tower to make growing your own produce almost foolproof, and she gives funding options when you listen. She also shared some incredible stats that you can see her share on my YouTube channel. Joy and her daughter Jake have a really entertaining YouTube show of their own called Cook With Jake and Joy, with some really great looking (and easy enough to do for yourself) plant-based foods, and the commentary while doing it will keep you coming back for more.

45: Respect For The Earth With Equinox Climbing's Noah Kleiner
Noah Kleiner blew my mind so many times during our conversation, and now I can't see him for "a climber," because he is so much deeper- Noah's work is teaching people rock climbing and ice climbing, but also to respect and appreciate the complexity, and also the simplicity of the world. Noah lives in awe of his surroundings and it's so inspiring to hear about! Literally, I could listen to him tell stories about his experiences for hours! Noah's business, Equinox Climbing, is out of the Camden, Maine area, but they do climbing adventures anywhere (Acadia National Park anyone?), and they offer summer camps for the young people also!

44: Everett Hanmer: Discovering How Sustainable We Are Naturally!
I met Everett Hanmer virtually at a Numospect Media event during Podfest, an international podcast convention, and I was drawn to his love for movies, even though I'm not a big movie watcher; but Everett is the Podcast Host of The Plot Twist Podcast, all about movies! I'm totally hooked on the podcast; sometimes feel like I'm living vicariously and I'm fine for him to do all the work, and sometimes I regret not playing closer attention to Hollywood. I highly recommend The Plot Twist - available everywhere! I invited Everett to be my podcast guest, and he said "I'm not really that sustainable, but my sister is;" but then the more he thought about it, kept adding things to his list, and he sounds kind of like a sustainability superhero to me - or at least a great example - and a really fun guest.

BONUS: "To Which We Belong" Documentary Discussion with Director Pamela Boll
I was so excited about the chance to help promote this powerful documentary To Which We Belong, Directed and Executive Produced by Pamela Tanner Boll, and also felt a little intimidated about the subject, so I called on Adam Cohen to help me make the most of the opportunity - so I have TWO guests for this special episode! This is Pamela's 3rd documentary that she has put out as Director and Executive Producer. Quote from the website about the film: "The result of regenerative agriculture & ocean farming is more abundance of healthier food all without the need for antibiotics or synthetic fertilizers. Healthy land, water, and animals = healthy humans." Pamela was so generous with her time, and sharing this extremely important and urgent message. Please click all the links to learn more, and SHARE this wide - people need to know about this message, and what we can do to support this movement.

42: Margaruette Seguin is Leading the Next Generation of Earth Lovers
This was so beautiful, I'm just sharing Margaruette's own words - and this is why I wanted so badly to have her as my podcast guest! " An important part of creating a more environmentally sustainable future is building relationships between the next generation and the non-human world. These relationships are fostered when youth have the opportunity to explore and meaningfully engage with nature. From my childhood to present day, Maine’s forests, beaches, and natural resources have nourished me physically and emotionally. Having had the privilege to experience the benefits of these things has made me eager to both protect them for and share them with those who will come after me. This creates a beautiful chain reaction: sharing the magic of the natural world with the youth I work with connects them more deeply to that world and makes them more likely to share in my desire of protecting it." I met Margaruette at Replenova Farm Store, where I shop and make jam, and I was smitten with her instantly, and would change my plans if I heard she was around - literally. You'll hear more about her in the episode, and hopefully will totally get why. 4H University of Maine, where Margaruette is working now https://extension.umaine.edu/4h/ You can send me messages(this is new!)!

He also has a podcast called Grow With Greg, talking about - you might have guessed-- growing food - but hydroponically! Learn all about him and his big heart here!

Oh boy, she might be embarrassed when I say this, but Megan is kind of like a celebrity to me, and this was a BIG deal, and so extra fun that she loves to talk about chickens and thriftiness. We met by total chance on Linkedin, commenting on a post of fellow podcaster Jeremy Enns (if you have any thought of podcasting, check him out here ) about our unknown super power, and Megan's answer got my attention, and I reached out... Megan is the Co-Founder of One Stone Creative, a Business Podcast Production Agency, is the podcast host of The Business Podcast Blueprint Podcast, and hosts a monthly workshop, sharing valuable tips for people in all podcasting roles. The podcast and workshops are so relatable. She also has chickens and makes things last as long as possible, and has a secret tip for the best pie crust! Interested? Listen here!

39: Big Living on a Tiny Homestead With Jenny Boghun
Jenny was the first person I asked to be a guest on the podcast over 2 years ago, and we've had life stuff that has just conflicted, so this moment, finally getting to sit down and talk homesteading and sustainability and record it for me was just everything. I met Jenny through a friend on Facebook and I just instantly loved her. I first went to her house to pick up a couple of gourd birdhouses from her, and her chickens at the time ran up to my car to greet me. The first time I actually met her, she showed me her beautiful place, with some furniture she had just thrifted and was fixing up - she's always got big projects under way - and we talked for a long time (she also has a NY accent that just makes you feel embraced). She is just full of smart tips to make life enjoyable. I'm going to have her back to go over the list of 23 Frugal Tips list, because she said she learned every one of them as a child! Jenny also has a tiny house on her property that was just featured on a Tiny House show, and is trying out renting it this year - learn about it, and her, when you listen!

38: Sustainable Interior Design with Elizabeth Byler
Have you heard of Sustainable Interior Design? I think I had heard the phrase, but in my head I assumed it meant buying expensive, really well made products. While that is probably an option, it's not possible for everyone, and isn't the only way to look at Interior Design. Enter Elizabeth Byler, Founder of Eden Environments, who wants to serve those who want to just be really mindful of what they're buying and using, and making it more sustainable personally. This was an eye opener for me, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it! And the story of how they got to this point was completely inspiring.

31: Recap After 30 Episodes
Publishing episode 30 last week felt like a really big number, so I felt called to recap a bit, and ask for some feedback (and I was on vacation and dropped the ball on recording). What a trip this has been! I've had some really wonderful conversations about sustainability! Has there been an episode of Grounded in Maine that you loved? Hated? I'd love to know if I'm creating content that you love or not, so I can keep your listening ears! You know who else would love to hear if you loved a conversation? My podcast guests!! I've listed their contact info in my show notes each week - except for two, they're all very social, and I bet it would make their day if you sent them a message, or gave a follow - if you're uncomfortable doing that, you could just let me know(it would make my day, too). I've seen a few friends that have followed a couple of people, and if you could see the smile I feel when I see that... Do YOU have something you'd like to share??

27: Ranya Dube's Passion for Sustainable Food for Her Community
Sometimes when you meet someone, you know it was just meant to be - Ranya Dube and I hit it off instantly when we met on Facebook a few months ago, and are big supporters for each other. Ranya is opening her second sustainability-like business, called The Good Food Place in Squamish, British Columbia, a town of about 200 people, and she wants to support local food growers, and encourage her community to eat locally and seasonably - learn why by listening! This is a longer interview, but I couldn't get enough of what Ranya was saying. When someone is so clearly passionate about their project, I'm a total magnet to that - it's also something that I believe in, so I wanted to soak up all of her wisdom while I had her! So much valuable info was shared, but my favorite memorable thing she said was so simple and also profound. "We need more collaboration and less competition." Mic drop. Done. Right? She and I are in the same groove on so many things, and supporting community through food is definitely one of them! Please give Ranya a follow on Instagram here or here and be inspired!

17: Thoughts On Community Post Breast Cancer Fundraiser
I've always had strong feelings about community, but yesterday I was awestruck when I attended a community event to support our dear friend Melissa, as she is heading into her 2nd chemo treatment this week. Another friend Emily, owner of Northern Belle Holistic, organized the fundraiser event to support Melissa and her fiance` Ryan as they are just beginning this cancer journey. The outpouring of love and support was inspiring to watch unfold as I viewed the silent auction tables (PLURAL!) and raffle items offered to benefit the cause. Listen here to hear more! Melissa isn't super active on social media, but she is doing as much as she's able right now, knowing there are so many people rooting for her.

Allison Taylor is a military spouse and mom of 3, has a teaching degree, and is a copywriter. She espouses a very different food mindset than me, and I'm so glad to have had this conversation about food waste and overconsumption!

7. Simplifying Sustainability with Rebecca Lewis
Rebecca Lewis may look like a very unassuming Physical Therapist, but to me, she's a sustainability super star. She's trying sustainable actions, one by one, to see how she can be more mindful of her footprint on the earth, and responsible for what she uses and tends to. It started in 2021 soon after she moved into her house, and was diagnosed with Long Covid, and was bed bound for months; she needed something to feel productive. It started with a loaf of bread, and then yogurt, and knitting, etc. Rebecca teaches us that some changes can be small or simple (cloth napkins!), and make a big impact. She also talks about courage to try new things. Listen, and hear more!
