Today I am here with Alicia Silverstone, who you probably know from her acting career. In this episode, we go deep on motherhood, health, birth, sunlight, sleep, and a lot of topics that are applicable to all of us. She was a pleasure to speak with and there is so much to learn from her story.
While Alicia and I come from different viewpoints on the particulars of what we eat, this conversation is really important for that reason. As moms, we actually agree on 98% of things and so often it’s very easy, especially on social media, to focus on the small percentage of things we disagree about. In the end, we all want the best health and the best futures for our kids and for the world, and we find a lot of amazing common ground in this episode and talk about a lot of these topics. I really enjoyed this conversation. I know you will, too.
