🎙️ LKE 3.3 || Herbs, Hormones & Healing: Ryan Dunn’s Basil Me Journey
✨ “What if your greatest failure was just the seed of your deepest purpose?”
This week on Loving Kindness Everyday, Kindness Calloway sits down with Ryan Dunn, the visionary behind Basil Me, a basil-infused lemonade brand born from frustration, ingenuity, and a greenhouse on Atlanta’s Campbellton Road.
Before we dive in, you’ll hear a short clip from Ryan, a taste of the conversation to come, followed by a brief language disclaimer. Then we jump straight into a rich and raw conversation about children's food ideas, wellness and spiritual health and of course, Basil Me the healing drink that is as nutritious as it is tasty according to its creator Ryan Dunn.
Language Note: This is a show featuring everyday people, therefore an may contain mature themes or language. Kindly listen to our show with care and awareness. 🪴
From soothing period pain to supporting digestion and mental clarity, Ryan’s basil elixir has become more than a product, it's a community mission and an exercise of love for Dunn, the creator. Once a mental health director, Ryan shares how witnessing the deep ties between nutrition and wellness lit the fire for what would become a healing movement.
Together, Kindness and Ryan explore:
– The dark moments that led Ryan's breakthrough into entrepreneurship.
– How spiritual inspiration and motivation helped shape Basil Me and Ryan's journey
– Why wellness education for youth is central to Basil Me's mission
– The emotional and physical healing power of basil as a whole.
🎧 Plus: New Format Starts Here!
This a new journey too! It's our first episode featuring our new structure for Loving Kindness Everyday (LKE), thanks to a suggestion from friend of the show we will now, each week, begin with a conversation and then land together in a sea of calm, allowing relaxation and awareness to guide us forward.
🌀 In this episode, you will also hear a short clip from last week’s conversation with ultramarathoner Manika Gamble (LKE 3.2), whose journey through fibroid surgery recovery comes up during a wider dialogue about Brown-skinned women’s health, spiritual alignment, and natural healing. If you haven’t heard it yet, go back and listen now -> it’s a powerful companion to today’s story! (Click here to listen on Spotify!)
💛 Introducing: The Loving Kindness Moment
We’re ending every episode this season with something new: a guided calming segment to help us slow down and heal together. This week, we’re joined by V from Asheville, (@asheville_sanctuary) who will open the moment allowing us to transition to a peaceful ASMR-style reflection on nourishment and healing. This week our reflection is inspired by the episode’s focus on food choices and wellness. You will heal while listening to Loving Kindness being affirmed over you while Kindness Calloway gentlely says things like, "Why is it so easy for me to enjoy healthy eating all of the sudden?" and "I am allowing my body to heal now." - we will focus on thoughts that encourage and inspire healing within as we unwind and end the session in calm.
Our goal is simple: as a community, we don’t just talk about changing our life —> we process it, we activate change with ease and we rest together too.
