Rosé with Rae

This is such a fun and unique episode. I'm sitting down with Phoebe who is a plant educator, herbalist, and just overall woo woo babe which y'all know I LOVE. She is the co-founder of Fungtion, a functional mushroom wellness brand. Fungtion exists to create subtle transformations in people's lives through functional ingredients derived from earth. For a funny rabbit hole because Grace has been on the podcast a few times now, Phoebe is Fungtion's co-founder alongside George who is Grace's best friend's cousin. This episode is fun because I am coming out of the psychedilics closet and we are...

Season 3 is winding down, but I knew I could not close out this season without sitting down with my boo, Ciji. I call her the queen of balance + pivots and you'll see why on this podcast episode. I love Ciji because she keeps it real.

Rosé with Rae

Spoiler Alert: The secret to staying motivated is that there is no secret.
