68. Building a Nontoxic, Results-Driven Skincare Brand & Setting a Higher Standard with Austin Wiberg and Hannah Minardi, Co-Founders of Standard Self Care
In this week’s episode of Loving Wellness, I am joined by Hannah Minardi and Austin Wiberg, the co-founders of Standard Self Care- the leading clean, cosmeceutical skincare line designed to help you streamline and upgrade your daily ritual with clean, bioactive products that actually work.
At the age of 19 - and as a college dropout - Hannah founded With Seven, a socially conscious consulting firm uniting companies like Nike, Target, Revolve, and Hot Pilates with the social causes that matter most to today’s generation of conscious consumers. She drew on this extensive consulting experience when she partnered with her longtime friend and business partner, Austin Wiberg, who developed his entrepreneurial acumen at top lifestyle eCommerce brands such as Suja Juice and Talentless. Integrating their expertise across industries and looking to optimize every facet of their daily routine, Hannah and Austin joined forces to formulate Standard Self Care, a streamlined personal care line that focuses on product efficacy & ingredient transparency above all else.
There’s no shortage of ‘clean’ beauty brands infiltrating your Explore Page, but if your products don’t create lasting results in your skin, you’ll return to your tried-and-true routine. That’s why Hannah and Austin created Standard Self Care: a concentrated line of 3 cosmeceutical products that were designed with the highest standards to optimize your self-care practice and upgrade your quality of life.
In the episode, we cover:
Hannah and Austin’s wellness journeys
Hannah’s life-altering experience with stress-induced autoimmunity & how this fueled her passion for better-for-you products
The importance of looking at more than just diet & exercise for true wellness
Why being “stricter” with your wellness practices isn’t always better
The many entrepreneurial experiences that have helped Hannah and Austin start their own companies
The pros and cons of going to college (& why Hannah dropped out of school to start her career early)
What are cosmeceuticals & why should we start using them?
Why + how Hannah and Austin started Standard Self Care
Simplifying your skincare routine
The importance of connections in entrepreneurship & life in general
How Hannah and Austin started out as best friends in college, launched multiple businesses together and ended up as a couple in the process!
...and so much more!

2- Eating mostly whole foods & minimal processed foods (and eating enough food in general)
3- Getting sufficient bioavailable protein in your diet
4- Optimizing circadian health (& how to do this)

65. Wellness Foundations Part 1- Mindset Shifts to Support You on Your Healing Journey
This week’s solo episode of Loving Wellness kicks off the first part of my three-part Wellness Foundations mini series. With the start of the spring season, I thought it would be the perfect time to go back to the basics and share what I believe to be the foundations of true wellness in mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're already on a healing journey or ready to embark on one, this series is the perfect place to start (or to return to) to support you on your path to radiant health.
In today's episode, we are covering all things MINDSET when it comes to healing. I truly believe that having a positive, loving mindset is crucial to actually feeling better & seeing positive shifts in our health. We can be doing everything "right" physically, but at the end of the day, we also need to have a healing mindset in place for true healing to occur. That's why in this ep, I'm covering some of the most important mindset shifts that I find to be integral to a successful healing journey, based both on my own journey and my work with clients. Make sure to stay tuned for part 2 and as always, thank you for listening!
