    37: Living & Working in Alignment with Molly Van Etten Hall, Founder of Van Etten PR

    Molly and I met on a day when, quite frankly, neither of us wanted to go to a networking coffee date–-as the universe would have it, we met for a reason. Since that day, a lot has changed––Molly unexpectedly started a PR firm that's best known for identifying an "it" factor in emerging brands and splits her time between NYC and London. We discuss our journeys of curating our personal and professional lives to be in alignment, meditation, Joe Dispenza, all things "woo woo" (think Red String Theory and Celestine Prophecy), and so much more. Keep up with Molly's work on both Instagram and Substack!

    33: Lacey Tisch + Lauren Zucker, Co-Founders, Sage + Sound: Building a Wellness Sanctuary in NYC & Curating Spiritual + Self-Care Practices

    In the midst of their own healing and self-care journeys, Lauren and Lacey found each other and a shared desire for creating a space for community and calmness in a city (and society) that so naturally leans towards chaos. After years of sourcing experts practitioners, ideating the perfect modern-yet-welcoming aesthetic, and curating an offering of best-in-market products, Sage + Sound was born. The space offers tried-and-true self-care rituals like manicures and facials but also allows client to dive deeper into the realm of wellness, too––cue astrology workshops, energy healing, sound baths, and more. So, you may not have to book that trip to Bali after all––a ride on the Q train up to the Upper East Side may scratch your spiritual itch; plus, they have a slew of online offerings for those who aren’t in New York City.  About The Curated Podcast: Join Kendall Becker, New York City-based fashion editor & trend forecaster, as she connects with global creatives across luxury fashion, hospitality, and wellness to uncover the purpose, passion, and inspiration behind a guest's life path and showcase that unconventionality can be the perfect curation, too.
