When people ask me where I want to be when I'm 80-years-old, one of the first answers I always give is something to the effect of, "Holding hands and still madly in love with my husband, John."

I understand that marriage c...

If we want to have a productive and honest conversation about what it's going to take to end human trafficking, we've got to start thinking about what to do on the front end. How do we keep people from falling into the trap of human trafficking in the first place?

Have you ever thought about the story you are telling with the things you bring into your home? Have you ever thought about what your décor style says about you?

My guest today has combined her passion for travel...

It's Episode 190, which means it's time for another solo episode! When I was thinking about what I wanted to do for this episode, I was talking to my husband about how surreal this time is that we're in right now while we're social distancing all over the world. I've been taking social media Sabbaths on the weekends from Friday night until Monday morning, and it has been so good for my soul. Limit...

My conversation this week could not have come at a better time. I want to continue to bring encouraging and inspiring content to you during these unprecedented times.

If you are brand new in your journey of shopping ethically, or if you've been shopping ethically for a while, one of the most common frustrations I hear from people is that there's not one central place to find all the things they need to buy.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who loves the movie Clueless?! Now, I realize how ridiculous of a movie it is, but in a "I love how ridiculous this movie is" kind of way, right? It is what began my love affair for Jeep Wranglers, and I longed for Cher Horowitz's infamous closet with the computerized system that dressed her every day. My guest today was not in the movie Clueless, but she did cr...

People who see something that they want done and do are the people who create impactful change in their community. They leave a legacy by acting rather than sitting around and talking about it.

She saw an opportunity to partner with others...

By the year 2050, it's estimated that there will be as much plastic in the ocean as there are fish.

It's estimated that 46% of the plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch comes from fishing gear alone. Luckily, I'm talking t...

The food system in America has changed so much in the last 30-40 years. Organic and non-GMO are terms that have become popular more recently, and we're much more aware about the importance of clean ingredients and real, whole foods.
