On this Episode, number 51, of the “Just Bein’ Honest Podcast”, our guest has blown me away! Okay, I have to admit something, his glowing smile and sparkly eyes say it all. “Genuine”, “Compassionate”, “Alive”. What do I mean by this? There aren’t many entrepreneurs, let alone everyday people out in the world that you could feel instantly comfortable and accepted by upon the first meeting. Brandin Cohen is the leader behind the brand Liquid I.V., he is my age - early thirties - and he carries a lot on his shoulders at such a prime time in life. How does he do it? His reason is just that, “Genuine COMPASSION” to CHANGE THE WORLD! Based on science pioneered by the World Health Organization, Liquid I.V.’s Cellular Transport Technology (CTT)™ uses a specific ratio of sodium, glucose, and potassium to deliver water and other key nutrients directly to your bloodstream, hydrating you faster and more efficiently than water alone. The specific ratio of electrolytes used in CTT creates an osmotic force that allows water

On this Episode, number 50, of the “Just Bein’ Honest Podcast”, our guest has embossed an inspirational saying within me. “Hard Work Beats Talent.” Is this true in your mindset? That statement goes to show you that you can create a path out of a passion and a little grit! Our guest, Nick Symmonds is an American athlete and entrepreneur.  As an athlete, Nick has found much success on the track and in the mountains.   A two-time Olympian, Nick competed for the United States in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. Though he has focused on the 800 meters for the majority of his career, he also has a personal best in the mile of 3 minutes and 56 seconds. In the mountains, Nick has built up an impressive resume in a very short time. He is currently working on collecting all 50 state high-points and has publicly expressed his desire to climb the 7 Summits, the tallest mountain on each continent.  When Nick isn't running or climbing he can be found working on the business that he co-founded in 2014, Run Gum. Nick current

On this Episode, number 49, of the “Just Bein’ Honest Podcast”, our guest has taught us a very vital lesson in that we must all “Relish in what we have”. Born and raised in a VERY small town on the East Coast, our gal soon blossomed in to a vivacious actress. But she really and truly did not set out on this path as her initial plan in life. Cultivating both her Psychology and Spanish degrees while in college, her curiosity in the world around her peaked, and that is when she soon discovered that her talent, PLUS her knowledge would shine even further in front of the cameras. But Chelsea Gilson has a deeper story to share with us all. Her story is really one about embracing your confidence and your authentic “Why”. She shares all about her pageant days, and how body image awareness and weight was a cycle that she couldn’t seem to shake until she found the world of cultural experience. This is a very relatable subject that I think we all can connect upon. Also, Chelsea tells us how she healed her Gut and Skin c

On this Episode, number 48, of the “Just Bein’ Honest Podcast”, our guest so graciously allowed us to put him in a very vulnerable state. We asked about what the triggers may have been to his spiraling out of control with addiction and why his going to jail cultivated a deep root of respect for strangers around him. We discuss much about the term “identity”, and also that life altering question we all face each and every day of, “Am I good enough”? Matthew believes that one of the greatest gifts in life is ‘Failure’, but the question is, “How does that teach you? How does that shape you?” Matthew certainly got into shape by taking on a leadership role as a SoulCycle instructor, and uses this as his stage to motivate others toward honoring their truth. Finally he makes a brilliant point that everyone already knows “who they are”, but we get distracted by what others think we should DO or BE! Guys and gals, it’s all about BELIEVING IN YOURSELF and recognizing that a so called, “flaw” is simply a unique characte

On this Episode, number 47, of the Just Bein’ Honest Podcast, we received the honor to step in to see what it’s like to live the “Champagne Lifestyle”. You may be familiar with our next guest’s genuine style already - a true fashionista that surely would fit naturally onto the pages of Vogue, but she is much more than that. She is a mega BOSS ! ! ! An entrepreneur and a successful one at that. She cultivated Cuvée Beauty, an amazingly clean hair care line that is focused on bringing the consumer the “BEST-of-the-BATCH” of ingredients. Finally, a product that is easy to use so I can expect the best results without a hassle! Rachel Katzman shares with us her “WHY” to Cuvée Beauty and how this passion turned reality, did not just happen overnight. Rachel unveils her self-care routines that keep her calm and collected amongst the chaos of living in New York City - and how a simple drive outside of the city is the perfect dose of inspiration for any business challenge that may confront her next. She shares how sta

Just exactly HOW do you stay “Rooted in Balance” in these modern times we call, “Life”? Amongst many factors that one could aim to focus on single handedly, Lauren Scruggs Kennedy chooses to live with all traits in full collaboration. An author, a charitable foundation leader, a beauty line innovator and a “healthy-habit” informer - Lauren’s smile that lights up the room is only one of the characteristics she has to share with our community. Today’s episode with Lauren is a genius discussion covering everything from her petrifying airplane accident that flipped her world upside-down, to her healthiest on the go travel habits, OH and why celery juice reigns royalty in her mornings! We also dive in deep to share this entrepreneurs truth of “How to truly find an authentic relationship living in Los Angeles?” Her honest connection with her one true love, best friend and husband, Jason Kennedy, has reminded her that when in doubt, simply “laugh it out”. And that rooting your relationship with clear communication a

On this episode of the Just Bein’ Honest Podcast we have a story to share that is birthed deep beneath the wide and wondrous ocean.

He goes on to share how he created a thriving business leading others in overcoming their fears of the ocean by simply channeling the BREATH. Not only does he teach folks how to master their stroke, but a larger lesson is at hand here… one of wisdom, and that being prepared for what to expect can cultivate success in a multitude of ways in this thing we call “LIFE”.

Our featured guest for Episode 41 of the JBH Podcast is one that stands out amongst the crowd. Beatrice Schlatter, better known to her family and friends as “Bea” - or as I like to call her, “Queen Bea”, is just that - The Queen. I say this with the utmost confidence within her journey of where she rooted from - communist Germany - to a thriving female leader and mother of 5 now living in beautiful Southern California! Bea shares that making time for fitness is a priority even if it means waking up before the sun rises, and that learning how to cultivate self-care and delegate duties to others is the essence to a thriving lifestyle and harmonious household. She shares that leading by example in the kitchen by choosing to fuel her family with high quality ingredients is the key to teaching them how to nurture their own bodies. Sure, she knows how to whip up a gourmet style dinner for her growing family, but admits it doesn’t come without strategic planning. Her mantra for efficiency in everything she does is s

When our next guest imagined herself as a 90-year-old woman, she didn’t see herself sitting behind the desk she had currently called, “her job”. Long hours left with little spiritual payout, triggered this born leader to begin her “side hustle”. Little did she know that this simple passion would be the key to her entrepreneurial story. She started with dinner parties, the first being in a communal gym space below her apartment building. Her goal was to lift others up and help them cultivate their, so-called “side hustles” as well. This is how FounderMade was born. FounderMade, a company that hosts curated summits to help inspiring lifestyle brands grow. Meghan is the star of this show, I call her the “Mother” of the ship, she has created a flourishing company made off of empowering others. AND not to mention, her summits, are what I call, “The Apple Store of Trade Shows” - Clean, Crisp, Clear!

From excelling at Ernst + Young, to changing the way business thrived at Disney, and later re-shaping and saving the Educational foundation as CFO at a non-profit.

How can we be CONTENT when we have so many material resources at our disposal? From a small town of 1,500 to a bustling big city, CULTURE shock is what immediately sets in with Alison Watson. You know what they say, “mama knows best!”, and in this case I believe it! This episode is with a power woman that is very close to my heart and a guest we’ve had on the show before. My older sister, Alison Watson! I call her the “MOM PRO”, not because she necessarily knows everything in the rule book - Wait…are there really any written rules to parenting?! - but because she has taken a leap of faith time and time again. When I mention that as a mother and a strong female leader that she’s taken a leap of faith, I sincerely mean that she has stepped OUTSIDE of the parenting “norm” and done things by following her heart and with the guidance of a higher power through many changes and challenges that come her way. From taking on a cross country journey in an RV with a tightly packed treadmill on board, to learning what it

While living away from home for the first time, Our next guest was fed up with the food options she had -- all she wanted was a bowl of her mom's rasam (a traditional South Indian dish)! On her next visit home, she told her mom she was missing her home-cooked food. So, her mom showed her that once she had all the ingredients, all she had to do was add hot water to complete the dish. That was the moment she realized that anyone could have their favorite childhood meals without spending too much money or time. And so… The Buttermilk Co. began and is thriving with nourishment! Want to hear how this girl boss went from computer engineer working countless hours at Amazon, to a leading lady pursuing her passion of easy and accessible health?

Why we need to Detox. Because we live in a toxic world. What is a “TOXIN”? A poisonous substance causing disease when present in the body. Everything that we are exposed to seems to be, and most likely is filled with one encounter of a chemical - even water! As living beings, we should consider ourselves visions of a scale, when we teeter one way or the other too drastically, that is when instability and “disease” occurs. Balance is important. Did you know that over 85,000 chemicals are registered in the U.S. to be used in products (even foods) that we are absorbing each and every day? Your body is being assaulted by these disruptors leaving many of us with a number of health complaints. A vital reason as to why it is time to clean out the junk that is backing up our systems leaving us sluggish and perhaps craving sugar - only disappointing us in the end with extra pounds that feel as though they will never disappear. There are SO many toxins that are clogging our body’s natural ability to detoxify itself - o
