WHAT’S NEW THIS WEEK
First and foremost, if you haven’t tried granola butter, you’re sincerely missing out. It’s nut-free, packed with healthy fats, and all of the flavor.
Secondly, I had the honor of sitting down to chat with Ali Bonar behind @avokween and the co-founder of Kween granola butter.
In this episode, we dive deep into relevant topics floating around the wellness industry, as well as address what happens when a fixation on health goes too far. On top of that, we examine how people-pleasing can affect just about everything we do in life – and what we can do to change our behavior.
