Health Home Hustle
Health Home Hustle is a wellbeing-focused lifestyle podcast, designed to look at what life looks like when we approach it from a place of abundance, not burnout. The issue? So often ‘hustle’ is prioritised at the expense of our health and home lives. When the simple truth is: no matter how successful you are, if your own cup is empty, you’re not living life to its fullest. So, what does life look like when you have more energy to take on your day, when you feel a sense of purpose in what you do, and when you connect with people on a more meaningful level? The Health Home Hustle podcast dives into these questions and so much more via interviews with health experts, thought leaders and inspiring individuals. It’s time to get your glow on! Tune into Health Home Hustle for a nudge in the direction of your-best-you-yet.

Balancing Beauty and Biology: Your Skincare's Role in Endocrine Harmony and Epigenetic Health with Skin Diligent's Co-founder Tule Park
Welcome to this week’s episode of the Health Home Hustle podcast! Today I am joined by a very special guest: Skin Diligent’s co-founder Tule Park. If you’ve been tuning into the last few episodes of the show, you’ll already be familiar with Skin Diligent as they’re our current show sponsor. Tule is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to ALL things skincare and cosmeceuticals. As you’ll hear in this episode, Tule is forensically interested in health, the interconnectedness of the systems within our bodies, the impact our lifestyle choices can have on our gene expression, and how products and other factors can have an impact on our hormones. Yes, we’re talking skincare, but we discuss SO much more! Having worked with a number of Korean cosmeceutical companies earlier on in her career, Tule had a clear vision for a European based cosmeceutical brand, focused on improving skin health, reinforcing the skin barrier, and getting results with intelligent delivery systems for proven active botanical ingredients. The result is Skin Diligent—a beautiful primarily natural cosmeceutical brand which truly delivers on its promises via targeted skincare and supplements. In this episode Tule and I really deep dive into what it means to have ‘healthy skin’. And spoiler, it may not mean what you think it means! We address topics including: - what our endocrine system is, and its relevance when it comes to skincare choices - sensitive skin, what it means and how you can still use products which include wonder-ingredients like Vitamin C - the difference between moisturisation and hydration And so much more! This episode is a BIG skincare deep-dive which may just change your perception on what having ‘healthy-looking’ skin really means. Enjoy!

There is so much to take away from this conversation! I found Hana to be an incredibly peaceful, kind and intuitive person, as well as being phenomenally knowledgable.

A Conversation on Clean Skincare with By Sarah London Co-Founder Lauren Murrell

A Conversation on Clean Skincare with By Sarah London Co-Founder Lauren Murrell
I am over the moon to be joined by Lauren Murrell today, CEO and Co-Founder of the all-natural plant-based skincare brand By Sarah London. In today’s episode you’ll hear all about Lauren, and her sister and co-founder Sarah’s, journey to starting By Sarah London. At the age of 23 Lauren was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, the treatment for which left her skin irritated, shedding and red. As a way to help her sister to gain some comfort back via skincare, Sarah began to formulate all-natural plant-based skincare which Lauren’s skin was able to tolerate even in the most extreme and raw of circumstances. Many common chemicals, and even essential oils, were too active for Lauren’s sensitive skin at the time. What began as a way for Sarah to help her sister’s skin to repair and restore when recovering from leukaemia, evolved into By Sarah London, a transparent, natural, science-led skincare company. I personally love By Sarah London products, and am so excited to welcome Lauren onto the show today to share her story, By Sarah London, and the benefits of all-natural skincare. If you’re eager to learn more about natural clean skincare and its benefits, this episode is for you! Show Links Use the code MONICA20 for 20% off of By Sarah London products until August 31st 2022.

Let's Discuss Reunion Episode: Let's Catch up with Ella Gregory!
This week’s episode is one which I know so many of you have been excited to tune into . . . that’s right, it’s time for the Let’s Discuss reunion episode! For those of you that didn’t previously tune into Let’s Discuss Podcast, Let’s Discuss is a show I co-hosted alongside my great friend Ella for a number of years. Let’s Discuss Podcast is all about navigating life as millennial women, and in it we discuss life, love, work and wellbeing. . In November 2020 Ella and I decided to wrap the show, for the time-being, but I’ve missed our regular podcast catch-ups! And I know that many of you have too! I’m so happy to be reuniting for today’s Health Home Hustle episode! A bit of background for those of you who may be new to Ella and her work: Ella Gregory is an OG in the world of fashion blogging. Having started her site Coco’s Tea Party when she was just 16 years old, Ella was part of the very first wave of bloggers. Throughout her blogging career Ella travelled extensively, collaborated with prestigious brands the world over, interviewed movie stars, wrote thousands of blog posts and shared her life online via multiple platforms. And truly, I’m just sharing the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Ella’s accolades! After 13 years in the blogging industry Ella decided to make a pivot, and as you’ll hear in this episode is now working in an adjacent field, and thriving in this season of life. Tune in for a catch up with Ella! We get into it all: from what prompted Ella to make a big life change, through to how things are going now, as well as a good’ol conversation about TV shows, books, beauty products and more that we’ve been loving of late! This episode is a casual, fun catch-up between friends! I hope you’ll love tuning in! Show Links Beauty Books Hallmark Movie Sketches
