Today we have a conversation with Mark Malinsky, the founder of Sprout Living. If you’ve listened to the podcast for a while, then you know we love Sprout Living plant-based protein powders and snack on their probiotic protein almonds, daily.  Sprout Living products are made from unique whole superfoods with multiple functions in mind. Even more important than the ingredients they do use, are the ingredients they don't.  These include gums, thickeners, fake flavoring and other additives that provide no nutritional value and can wreak havoc on the microbiome.

We have a great conversation with Mark on his journey to create Sprout Living, the ethos behind the brand, and how they create one of the cleanest plant-based proteins on the market.

Today on the podcast we welcome Abigail Rose Clarke. She is the creator of The Somatic Tarot, The Body Oracle deck, and The Embodied Life Method, which she has been teaching throughout the United States and internationally since 2014. The Embodied Life Method aims to help people return to their bodies to find ease and comfort, even when life is difficult and the changes are extreme and fast approaching.

Today she joins us to discuss her new book, titled Returning Home to Our Bodies. Connecting somatics, nature, and social change, Abigail shows us how to return to a deep relationship with our bodies, the natural world, and each other—especially when we've been taught to think of our bodies in specific narratives designed to serve domination systems. Resisting these narratives, readers are reminded of how we can reconnect to our bodies with awe and curiosity in order to dismantle oppressive systems and work toward healing. We have a great conversation with Abigail, and we hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did.

Today on the podcast we have a conversation with May Lindstrom, who grew up with highly sensitive and reactive skin that would erupt in blisters, rashes, spots of eczema, and various forms of dermatitis when out of balance. Her parents eventually discovered she had a sensitivity to glues, dyes, synthetic fragrance, preservatives, and a long list of irritants. 

Traditional skincare would wreak total havoc on her complexion, and even many "natural" ingredients  would irritate her skin. As she  grew older, her chemical sensitivities continued to increase and she became more aware of how much her environment affected her well-being. Her solution was to immerse herself in the study of plant medicine and ultimately create formulas targeted to her own challenges and goals. Today we have a conversation on May’s really incredible and beautiful journey that spans many different versions of herself, and talk about her truly luxurious, clean, and beautiful skincare line. We loved this conversation, and love these products.

If you are new to the very special world of May Lindstrom Skin, this welcome offer is especially for you. Get an $80 gift of their Hero hydrator, The Jasmine Garden, when you shop $150 or more of their fresh, skin food formulas. 

Visit maylindstrom.com — add the full-size mist right to your cart along with $150 + in other products. Then use code COURAGE at checkout to take $80 off your final total.
