For this episode of Sustainably LB, I got to hold space with Tori Cates, Certified Reiki Master and Founder of Satori 23. If you’ve been a follower of the podcast from the beginning, you might remember Tori from our first interview about her sustainable, witchy fashion brand, Potion 23. Since that interview, Tori and I have formed a beautiful friendship and I have had the privilege to watch her practice of creating magic with her hands evolve from the intentionality and love worked into every piece of Potion 23 to working that same energy a different way through her healing modalities with Satori 23.

We are moving into a new way of healing and care. One that expands our perception beyond what we can see. Because, in truth, we are so much more than meets the eye anyway and it is about time humanity caught up. I hope you enjoy my interview with Tori as much as I enjoyed our conversation.

Show Notes:

• The Sisterhood of Doing the Work
• The Intersection of Art and Spirituality
• We Are Here to Be Embodied
• Balancing Spirituality and Groundedness
• Energy is Not Limited by the Same Confines as Matter

For this episode of Sustainably LB, I got to hold space with Nadia Estefania, Traditional Healer and Founder of Nadia Estefania Ayahuasca Retreats in Ecuador. From her former life in tech and living the perceived dream in NYC, to leading soul-centered rituals and ceremonies in Ecuador, each step along her path has led her back to her truth and who she knew she was all along.

I think many of us are just starting to realize that our soul has always been in the driver seat if we can just follow the call and remain committed to our most authentic selves. Easier said than done, I know. But there are so many tools and gifts that are just within our grasp if we simply have the courage to change the narrative within and break free from the chains of our conditioning. I hope you enjoy my interview with Nadi as much as I enjoyed our conversation.

Show Notes:

• Self Discovery Leads to Freedom
• Gratitude for All the Steps Along the Path
• Embracing the Inner Knowing
• Connecting to Ancient Practices and Ancestral Roots
• After Ceremony, the Inner Work Continues

For this episode of Sustainably LB, I got to share space with Joelle Tangen, Designer and Owner of La Jolie Joelle. After learning about the overwhelmingly unsustainable nature of the fashion industry in college, Joelle sought to pave her own way by focusing on sustainability and what that niche is for her. Her love of nature and creating has led her to curate her own fashion line, build upcycled art outside of the realm of clothing and had her creating sustainable drag for Pattie Gonia.

I am so grateful that I got the chance to sit with Joelle and chat about how sustainability manifests in different ways and how we are constantly learning and leveling up in an industry that focuses, almost entirely, on the bottom line.

Show Notes:

• Bridging the gap between runway and wearable
• Working your piece of the sustainability puzzle
• Using your unique gifts to create lasting change
• Finding inspiration in the materials your using / sourcing
• An unlikely connection to sustainable drag and the midwest
