In this podcast episode Ram Dass walks us through the process of listening and tuning on our individual journeys in order to align with our highest self. Listen here.

The truth is, weight alone tells us very little about what’s actually happening inside the body —and perhaps most importantly, it doesn’t tell us whether someone feels alive in their own life.

👗 Matchy matchy: We're inspired by this mom who made matching dresses for her girls from a thrifted duvet cover.

💊 Built on science: One of our favorite prenatal brands just released results from independent clinical studies showing improvements across every well-being and fertility parameter measured, offering even more evidence behind a formula we already love.

👀 Eat the rainbow: We can't stop thinking about the braised cabbage recipe Celia shared a couple of weeks ago.

💼 For job seekers: Food For All DC is seeking a part-time Registered Dietitian (RD) to provide personalized nutrition counseling for clients managing chronic health conditions. 

📝 A good question: Is there a wellness trend that seems to work for others but doesn't work for you? You have permission to let yourself off the hook.

Our next virtual meet-up is on Tuesday, July 14th at 5:30 p.m. PST — join us for a guided meditation and community discussion based on the article: How To Find (And Curate) Your Personal Aesthetic. 💛

"I think I may have found the perfect summer dress!? It's made with custom LuxRib fabric and has just the right amount of softness and stretch for hot summer days. I love how I can dress it up or down, whether for a celebration or a trip to the farmers' market. What I love most, though, is how everything from the brand is grown, spun, and knit in the U.S., with production at family-owned factories in Downtown LA. If you see me out, I'll be wearing this."

How one reader is leaning into community this summer: "Library events! Community gardens! Block parties! I scour each nearby library for their summer events. It’s such a great, free way to get the kids out of the house and meet people every week. We also have a community and backyard garden I’ll be tending and sharing the harvest with others. Lastly, I have a goal to meet all of the neighbors down the street and plan to host a block party later in the summer. We LOVE community." The dream, LM — enjoy!
