Wellness with intention is always my favorite kind,  especially when it's born from motherhood, advocacy, and a refusal to accept the status quo. In this week's episode, I sit down with Arielle Moody, founder of Mama Sol, whose journey into clean sunscreen began during one of the most vulnerable and transformative seasons of her life: pregnancy. After discovering how many potentially harmful ingredients were hiding in everyday skincare products, Arielle set out on a deeply personal mission to create a sunscreen she felt safe using while carrying her unborn child. What she found along the way was a major gap in the market: mineral sunscreens that felt heavy, left a white cast, and were anything but luxurious. Drawing on her extensive background in beauty product development, from training for major cosmetic brands to leading formulation and packaging innovation, Arielle combined science, safety, and sensory experience to create a sunscreen that protects, nourishes, and elevates daily skincare into a wellness ritual. This conversation goes far beyond SPF. We explore skin health as a metabolic and inflammatory conversation, the concept of "inflammaging," and why daily sun protection is one of the most overlooked longevity tools. If you've ever questioned what's really in your skincare, wondered how to choose safer products during pregnancy, or wanted sun protection that feels like a spa treatment rather than a chore — this episode is for you. Bio:  While pregnant with her first child, shocked by how many toxic ingredients were lurking in everyday products, and after trying dozens of natural mineral sunscreens, Arielle was determined to create one that 1) didn't make her immediately want to wash her face, and 2) didn't leave a white cast on her skin. Oh, and it needed to be something she looked forward to using daily. No biggie. As Mama Sol's product development whisperer, Arielle has been immersed in the beauty industry her entire adult life. Starting as a beauty sales trainer for Smashbox, Dr. Perricone, and Bite Beauty, then rising to become the head of product development for Skinn Cosmetics and, most recently, the head of sales for a leading cosmetics packaging and formulation company, she's always known one thing—that she would one day create her own product, something truly different that had never been seen before. In This Episode, We Discuss: The connection between sun exposure, skin inflammation, and "inflammaging" How pregnancy sparked Arielle's mission to create a non-toxic sunscreen The hidden ingredients in conventional sun care products Why mineral sunscreen often fails — and how Mama Sol changed that Creating a product that feels luxurious enough for daily use The story behind the name "Mama Sol" Climate-conscious formulation and packaging efforts Common misconceptions about sunscreen safety and effectiveness The cumulative skin damage most people don't realize is happening How to incorporate sun protection seamlessly into your wellness routine Arielle's personal skincare and daily wellness rituals Resources: Website: MamaSol YOUR BEST FREEBIE - For anyone listening, you can use ELEVATEDMAMA15 at shopmamasol.com to receive 15% your first purchase (free shipping is included)!

Micro-algae created oxygen on Earth—and without it, life as we know it wouldn't exist. But what if this ancient organism is also one of the most powerful, overlooked tools for modern wellness? In this episode, I'm joined by Jo Colan, co-founder of Zivo Life, to explore the origin story of micro-algae and its profound role in human health. From survival biology and nutrient density to sustainability and ritual, we unpack why micro-algae functions as a true whole-food multivitamin rather than a supplement. Jo shares how a pivotal seminar in 2020 altered the trajectory of her life, leading her from high-level media and brand storytelling into the world of algae-based wellness. We dive into Zivo Life's meticulous, hands-on cultivation process, rigorous quality testing, and the ceremonial traditions that honor the land and water where this living superfood is grown. This conversation bridges ancient life science with modern wellness, offering a new lens on nourishment, sustainability, and creating daily rituals that support both personal health and planetary well-being. Bio:  Jo Colan is a holistic health coach and co-founder of Zivolife, bringing a proprietary, patented microalgae species to market for the first time for its distinctive nutrient profile and health benefits. An Institute for Integrative Nutrition graduate and FirstLine Therapy–certified, she worked alongside MDs in NYC implementing nutrition programs. Jo also has a media background with MTV, Discovery, and BBC, helping her bridge science, storytelling, and consumer wellness.

What does it look like to redefine well-being, not just as a personal practice, but as a movement? In this episode, I sit down with Colleen Wachob, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of mindbodygreen, to talk about what it really means to pursue a life of holistic health, purpose, and longevity. Colleen shares how a life-altering health scare shifted everything, ultimately leading her and her husband Jason to build mindbodygreen into the global wellness platform it is today. We unpack what true well-being means through her lens—one that includes the mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and environmental and how simplicity, breath, and tuning into your body can be powerful daily tools. We also explore the changing landscape of women's health, how the conversation around longevity is starting younger than ever, and why building community might just be the most underrated key to living well. Colleen opens up about her own non-negotiables, how strength training transformed her routine, and why empowering young women is deeply personal to her. This conversation is full of wisdom, warmth, and real-life takeaways you can begin applying today. Whether you're new to wellness or decades into the journey, there's something here for you.

Michael Hobson, has spent his life studying frequencies. First as a mathematician, then as an econometrics professor and corporate business consultant, through his several businesses in the music industry at the forefront of both the vinyl movement and live recording industries, Michael's interest in frequencies eventually led him to water. He became fascinated with water and started a nearly decade-long deep dive into understanding it in all its capabilities. After years of studying water, water structure and water frequencies, deepening his understanding of this under-appreciated molecule that appears to be the foundation of all Life on Earth, Michael heard about a special silica containing water that came from a source in a remote part of Idaho.  Michael sat down with me to share valuable insights into both the structural and vibrational composition that will empower you to ask questions about the water you are drinking. Bio:  Michael Hobson, a visionary polymath, embarked on a lifelong odyssey exploring the symphony of frequencies shaping our world. Beginning his intellectual journey as a mathematician, he traversed the landscapes of econometrics, eventually finding himself at the forefront of the music industry's vinyl renaissance and live recording innovations. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, Hobson was guided toward the enigmatic and vitally important world of water. Delving deep into its essence, he dedicated over a decade to unraveling its mysteries, from molecular structures to ethereal frequencies. This deep dive culminated in a serendipitous encounter with Crystal Spring, an untouched oasis nestled in Idaho's remote embrace, where pristine water flows with unrivaled purity. Recognizing the profound significance of this discovery, Hobson founded Aquene Springs, a testament to his commitment to sharing the transformative power of water with the world. Guided by his belief in the healing potential of frequencies, he envisions water as a conduit for connection, rejuvenation, and personal growth. In the last five years, Hobson's entrepreneurial spirit led him to embark on two groundbreaking ventures—one in the realm of water and the other in wearables. Both endeavors are driven by a singular mission: to accentuate human life to a century and beyond. Through relentless innovation and steadfast dedication, Hobson continues to shape a legacy that transcends industries, fostering a future where longevity, vitality, and harmony prevail. In This Episode We Discuss: Michael's journey from pre-law to economics to professor and 15 businesses later landed on water! Listening to his inner guidance on this path he was meant to follow as a Water Shepard Finding the natural Idaho spring  The benefits of Silica Losing Silica as we age, needing to replace it in our diet Silica is the most bioavailable through water The Aluminum Age we live in and it's long term effects Silica is the basis for quartz and can store information  Your brain is a battery receiving electrical currents from your gut This water is Geothermal water that may be Primary water made within the earth Bottling from the source before it reaches the atmosphere The sweet taste of Aquene Springs is lightly mineralized Deuterium is a study in progress The vibrations of life, water absorbs the vibrations of the environment it has passed through Water is magnetic tape, set your intentions and then drink them in Resources: Website: aquenesprings.com  Discount Code: elevatedwellness10 Instagram: @aquenesprings https://www.instagram.com/aquenesprings/?hl=en Facebook: @aquenesprings Aquene-Springs-100067371454226 TikTok: Aquenespringssourcewater https://www.tiktok.com/@aquenespringssourcewater Aquene Springs on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Mt9Yrr Connect with Jayne: Website: https://www.jaynewilliams.com/  Instagram: @jayne_williamswellness  https://www.instagram.com/jayne_williamswellness/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jaynewilliamswellness/

Get ready for this revealing, honest, real conversation with rockstar Plastic Surgeon (and my reconstructive surgeon…..which we talk about) Dr. Stephenie Poris (aka) The Stiletto Surgeon, the only female double board-certified plastic surgeon in Orlando who owns and operates her own practice.  She is giving us an inside look at the world of plastic surgery along with her inspiring path to success. Discover what drove Dr. Poris to pursue a career in the male-dominated field of plastic surgery and how she built a thriving practice focused on empowering women.  She also shares valuable insights into selecting a plastic surgeon (you'll definitely want to take notes) and the trending procedures.   Bio:  I am a Floridian, born and raised in Satellite Beach near Cape Canaveral. I grew up a competitive cheerleader and figure skater with a love of science and the outdoors. My childhood experiences taught me the values of precision, poise, humility and respect. Becoming a surgeon was a natural choice as these values are the very backbone of training and practice. I pursued my passion and received my Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of Florida. While in college, I had the chance to intern in plastic surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. It was then I realized I must become a plastic surgeon. I was enthralled by the intricacies and details of their surgeries and enamored by the dissection and surgical outcomes. Like an artist, the human body became the canvas, and the scalpel became a brush. Having my goal in mind, I remained true to my Florida roots and continued my medical education at Florida State University where I graduated and started the long journey through surgical training. I spent five incredible years in general surgery residency with some of the nation's best surgeons at Advent Health in Orlando, Florida. From there, it was time for a change of seasons as I matched in a plastic surgery fellowship at Summa Health in Akron, Ohio. I have completed all surgical training, and I am currently board-certified in general surgery and board-certified in plastic surgery. I look forward to sharing my talent and passion with you all as your newest plastic surgeon in Orlando, Florida! In This Episode We Discuss: Stephenie felt her calling to be a surgeon from an early age Dr Poris is a petite powerhouse with a prominent presence Her love of plastics and the joy with helping patients What to look for in a plastic surgeon Training matters, look for Doctors with expertise training A "good deal" is not worth the ultimate price with someone who lacks experience The medical tourism trend has zero accountability and so many complications Plastic Surgery has become more about confidently looking like you more than changing you It's wonderful seeing women doing these things for themselves  What is a "Mommy Makeover"?

Amy Lacey is passionate, driven, faith-filled and laser focused!  What once was her challenge has become her triumph growing not one but two health focused brands.  You may have heard of Cali'flour Foods, that started at Amy's kitchen table, growing steadily at farmers markets, and then mainstream retail in just about every major grocery chain.  She sold Cali'flour in 2019, making her part of the top 1% of women business owners to exit a company with an 8 figure deal.  She is now in a new chapter of life, creating a holistic health focused product line around Superfood, Soursop….and she is just getting started.  In this episode we dive deep into where it all started and where she is now.   Bio:  Amy Lacey is a serial entrepreneur, innovator, best-selling author, keynote speaker and business mentor. In 2016, after being diagnosed with Lupus, Amy launched Cali'flour Foods and introduced the first cauliflower pizza crust to the market when only a head of cauliflower could be found in grocery stores. The brand took the food industry by storm, going from farmers markets to grocery stores across America, and spearheading what would become a billion dollar industry category. Cali'flour was the number 1 pizza crust sold on Amazon for 16 months straight from 2018-2019. The product won several awards including KeHE Best New Product in 2018 and was featured in Food and Beverage Magazine, OK! Magazine, GQ, Good Housekeeping, as well as one of "Whoopi's Favorite Things" on The View. The products were also seen at the ESPY, Teen Choice, the Emmys, NY Food Show, as well as many other traditional food shows. Amy sold the majority of Cali'Flour in late 2019 and became one of the top 1% of women business owners to exit a company with an 8 figure deal. Amy is now trailblazing the path towards a brand new innovative health and wellness product with her new company, Beyond Medicine, founded in 2023. This new company is on a mission to highlight one of the world's greatest superfoods that most people don't even know exists yet. She is introducing a new category of superfood to the market and paving the way for a new era of self-care and wellbeing that prioritizes the body's natural ability to be and stay healthy while enhancing the immune system's armor against disease and illness. Up next alongside Beyond Medicine, Amy continues to collect her vast knowledge and experience in entrepreneurship into courses and programmes that make e-commerce easy for entrepreneurs. Her philanthropic mission includes supporting women founders, and she continues to be incredibly passionate about being involved in non-profit organizations that support children with cancer and fighting against the sex trade. When she's not innovating the next industry shaking product, you'll find Amy at her home in Melbourne, Florida with her husband, her 3 children and their new puppy. In This Episode We Discuss: How she got her start with Cali'flour Pizza Crust How testimonials and Storybrand made her product go viral Amy's product changed the entire cauliflower industry by not taking no for an answer Not dealing with her childhood trauma impacted her health later on The hard lessons she learned about dishonesty selling her business Doing the work in therapy changed her life Learning to forgive herself The pattern between trauma and big business earners Finding herself again with a new chapter Discovering the healing power of Soursop Needing to let go of her Cali'flour past in order to own her new discovery Finding Soursop's purest source Keeping integrity from the forefront of the industry In other countries you can eat their healthier flours without inflammation The FDA allotted "margin of error percentage" Learning to slow down while growing fast Owning your imperfections and being transparent will help you Soursop gummies, smoothie, skin care line, sleep…so many areas of health being covered She's collaborated with talented passionate investors Backwards culture: as long as people are sick, lots of others are getting rich Business Website Tips and staying a step ahead of the scammers Soursop Clinical trials are being done on long term inflammatory markers and A1Cs The powerful effect that journaling has had on her life Resources: Website: www.heyamylacey.com https://www.soursopnutrition.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyamylacey/ DM Amy for a coupon with code: Jayne LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hey-amy-lacey/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heyamylacey/  Email: [email protected] Cali'flour Kitchen: 125 Cauliflower-Based Recipes for the Carbs You Crave by Amy Lacey https://amzn.to/49FUWrs  Building a StoryBrand: Clarify Your Message So Customers Will Listen by Donald Miller https://amzn.to/49FTkOo  Connect with Jayne: Website: https://www.jaynewilliams.com/  Instagram: @jayne_williamswellness  https://www.instagram.com/jayne_williamswellness/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jaynewilliamswellness/
