I'm joined by the powerful and magical force that is Florencia Fridman, co-founder of Cacao Laboratory (my favorite cacao brand that has changed my life) and cacao guide/educator. In this episode we're talking about the medicine of cacao and working with the plant to help heal and open your heart, calibrating to new levels of peace, learning to receive (why is this so hard lol?), how shifting from caffeine to cacao has helped me so much with creating from a grounded place and we get into all things building an intentional and rooted brand while also thinking of scaling to serve the masses. A very complete AI episode 3 Love love it.

Topics: Navigating Heartbreak, The Creative Process, Pivoting, Movement and Taking Up Space We have Teya Kepila on the show also known as @theturmerictimes on social and she is just such a ray of light. Teya is an incredibly talented ceramicist and artist based in Brooklyn who I highly highly recommend following if you love nourishing, regulated content which is quite rare these days. I've been following her work for a few years now and you know when someone online just really resonates with your soul? That is exactly how I've felt about her and having this conversation solidified that resonance so much more. In this episode we are chatting about heartbreak, body acceptance, shifting identities, movement, how to find and protect the spark that makes you come alive, we get into her creative process and about giving yourself permission to be an artist. I deeply deeply enjoyed this conversation and hope you do too.

If you have been trying to figure out how to build and market your business in alignment and struggle with doing that on social media, this episode is for you. This week, I'm joined by Harry Doull, the founder of Keap Candles, which is a NY-based Benefit Corporation started in 2015 and was inspired by a philosophical question: In an always-on world, how can we reconnect with ourselves and restore our balance with nature? Through artistry and regenerative practices, Keap’s candles have evolved to create what they couldn't find anywhere else: all-natural luxury candles that don't sacrifice scent quality or performance. His biggest message to the active ingredient community is this: if you're finding a sense of internal misalignment with social media in business and or in your personal life, it is possible to operate without it (as we have been for the past 5 years) — and in fact grow a stronger, more resilient business in the process. In this episode we are getting into building and marketing in alignment, alternative ways to connect and grow your community in a nourishing way, the power of candles and the element of fire and committing to your own inner vision even if it clashes with the norm.  Keap is offering all Active ingredient listeners 10% off your first order when you use code FINDYOURWHY at checkout - my favorite scents are Wood Cabin and Wild Figs. *GIVEAWAY* We will also be gifting a candle to 1 active ingredient listener who rates and reviews the show on apple and spotify - all you have to do is submit your review and send a screenshot to my personal IG and you enter to win! I'm currently burning my candle and it really is a goodie.  Time Stamps: 07:14 - The decision to get off of social media entirely 17:35 - Building offline connections with your community and the impact on the business 24:16 - The future of social media and alternative platforms emerging 30:07 - The bigger role candles play in building connection 40:38 - listening and acting on inner guidance and long-term vision in business 55:27 - natural candle making and what makes Keap different Links: To connect with me: @sophieiweill To check out Active Ingredient clips: @activeingredient Nude Nation Piano Piano Ceramics Keap Candles Hosted on Acast.

WE ARE BACK! And man does it feel good to get back on the mic. I miss it so much every time I take a break. In this week's episode I'm getting back to it and chatting about my time away, a lil summer recap, what it felt like to water my roots and actually be able to feel/be present/receive and enjoy myself and my people entirely, choosing forgiveness/acceptance when it comes to family and family dynamics and then I deep dive into what we're all experience right now which is a very very palpable renaissance of resonance. 00:00 – 06:30 | ​G​etting back on the mic 06:31 – 18:45 | Summer ​r​ecap and watering the root 18:46 – 34:10 | ​Choosing forgiveness/acceptance/empathy when it comes to family 34:11 – End | ​The renaissance of resonance we're collectively experiencing Link to Sophie's IG: @sophieiweill Link to Active Ingrdient's IG: @activeingredient Link to Nude Nation: www.nudenationrelations.com Link to Piano Piano: @pianopiano Hosted on Acast.

This week's episode is with someone who I would 10000% put in the bucket of a founder who is also an artist. Someone who has and is actively alchemizing her pain and grief into both her purpose and her brand while creating beauty and connection in all that she does. We have Lily Geiger on the show today who is the founder of Figlia - an inclusive non-alcoholic aperitivo alternative that was born out of her desire to serve both humans who actively struggle with alcohol addiction by creating a non-alc product that did not taste like alcoholic beverages that we know as well as humans who are simply not wanting to drink as much but want to have a delicious alternative that feels special to drink out or at home. I fall in that second camp of people who simply feel better drinking way less and am so grateful for brands like Figlia that are meeting us where we're at, creating products we are proud to drink/be seen with, and just make it cool and acceptable to choose products that are better for you.  In this episode we get into Lily's story living with a parent who struggled and lost his battle with alcohol addiction - what that's taught her, the grieving process, leaning on family, alchemizing pain into purpose and now this product, how it's changed her outlook on life and why she created Figlia. We also get into making sure we have a strong sense of our identity outside of the brands we are building and how that separation has helped keep her grounded and on path.  From a branding/launching perspective we're getting into who exactly she's serving, how she bootstrapped to start and has built this business with her best friends, what marketing channels have worked, where she comes alive the most and of course - her process of remembering and returning to her child-like Self.  If you want to try Figlia, here is their store locator: https://drinkfiglia.com/pages/stockists Link to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sophieiweill Link to Sophie's IG: https://www.instagram.com/sophieiweill Link to Active Ingredient's IG for clips: https://www.instagram.com/activeingredient Link to Figlia: https://drinkfiglia.com/ Hosted on Acast.

This week's solo is about consciously creating and allowing for structures/frameworks that work for us and remembering that structures can actually liberate. This is coming from a person who loves/values freedom and fluidity above most things and is a topic that I think is so relevant to so many of us who work for ourselves or are building/co-creating our own lives. It's something I have been SO resistant towards and am finally ready to unlearn/step into.
