CC-ing You The Cacti Collective

This week we sat down with Adrianna Basin, a holistic well-being enthusiast & sustainable living advocate, to discuss SUSTAINABILITY 101.

**Aka we asked (and she answered) all of the questions The Cacti Collective had about living a more sustainable life without sacrificing convenience and some of the material items that we love**

As always, we wanted to keep the topic accessible and relatable- and Adrianna did just that.

WHAT WE COVER:


What we often overlook about "reduce, reuse, recycle"
The three main areas of our life where we should be more sustainability-conscious
How to be more sustainable when it comes to food
The best sustainable brands for fashion, beauty & home supplies
How to live more sustainably in smaller cities with less resources
Where to find products that are local / made in the US

ABOUT LEE MARIE DASHTI: Lee is a semi-retired MBA and a former wellness marketing guru turned trained yogi. Most recently, Lee has launched her self-love and mindfulness coaching business. As a coach, she works with men and women to bring out the best in people. And, let me tell you, she most certainly does. On a more personal note on behalf of Cacti, Lee has provided so much support and guidance throughout the ideation and execution process of building this business, so it’s only fitting that she comes on to the podcast to share her wisdom with all of you.

For our first episode of CC-ing You, I sit down with life coach, Lee Marie Dashti (@elldash) to talk about her story of following her instincts and transitioning from a very successful role in the corporate world to moving across the country and starting a business of her own. We talk about "undeniability", taking that leap, and the difference between decision and choice.
