Following with Tracy Rhinehart Tracy Rhinehart

It's both education + inspirational to chat with Leah Cordy. Always. 

Maybe you recall our last conversation about her non-profit candle company Hope's Landing which employs and supports women as they heal from experiences of sex trafficking and other abuse.  Super inspiring - and I learned a lot. 

Today we sat to discuss Leah's day job. She is a community relations representative for a utility scale solar company. 

Huh?!
Yeah. I know. 
I knew nothing about this when this conversation started. But wow, was it educational. 

Leah talks about exactly what is going on in the solar energy community. She debunks myths and offers personal actions steps. 

Actually, I found it very inspiring. 

And don't we need a little inspiration when it comes to energy solutions?

I hope you listen. And thanks for Following.

I love chatting with inspired + excited people.  Their optimism + joy are contagious. 

And I am always in for a little dose of that. So when I had to opportunity to sit with Leah Rachelle + Hannay Pugely of Herbs of the Valley, I buckled up for a joyful ride! 

Leah + Hannah are very inspired + excited about their work together.  
And for good reason: Their apothecary, Herbs of the Valley, is the perfect expression of their interests: gardening, herbs, wellness solutions and sustainability. 

PLUS Herbs of the Valley is the very first and the one + only local apothecary right here in Cleveland OH. 

Leah + Hannah have partnered with Oxbow Orchard Farms to grow herbs right here in the Cuyahoga Valley. They are making teas + tinctures with these locally grown herbs. And they are offering support to their customers who would like to use plant medicines to treat common physical + emotional imbalances. 

Their story, their plans, their knowledge and their passion are right here for you to hear. 

I think you'll be inspired + excited too!
So please connect with them:

Herbs of the Valley products are available at Oxbow Orchard, The Light Wisdom and Wellness and Studio 108.

Do you know Margo? 
Maybe you've taken a yoga class with her?

Well, Margo Pivonka is the hard work behind Studio 108's marketing content + more. She and I have spent many hours together. Many hours. 

You'd think I would know a little bit about what she's got going on....But she surprised me on this one and I'm THRILLED for her!

Take a listen as Margo shares her story. She is the creator of an innovative and helpful new product designed to support you in  your yoga practice. Called Yoga Glu, this product prevents slipping of the hands + feet from your very first down dog! 

I'm inspired by Margo's ingenuity and fortitude in bringing this idea to market. It took perseverance and commitment. She had a vision. She held her mark.  And it paid off. Yoga Glu was born.

And we are so proud of Margo.

I hope you'll listen + I hope you'll try it!
Yoga Glu is available at Studio 108 for sample + for purchase.

Exactly what are the little brown bottles on the shelf? Are they safe? How do I take them?

Leah's all about the tinctures but, to be honest, I was a little apprehensive. Then my acupuncture practitioner recommended a tincture, showed me how to take it, suggested that I trust myself to try when I was ready - and I loved it!

I loved the subtle + helpful results I got from the potent little squirt of liquid. (For me, that means less muscular tension in my neck and jaw.)

In this conversation, Leah demystifies the whole topic of tinctures. She talks about how they are made, how they are taken, and why you might try them.

Take a listen for answers to those questions that are floating through your head. And trust yourself: You'll try them when you're ready.
