For this episode of Sustainably LB, I got to hold space with Lana Rose, Founder of Conscious Concierge. From being a former TV and Ad Executive stepped in hustle culture, to leading a heart-centered practice and way of life, each step along her path has led her to create Conscious Concierge.

This episode of Sustainably LB is a solo episode and a little review about the Brand Melville Documentary on HBO MAX titled Brandy Hellville and the Cult of Fast Fashion. Now, I have read some of the reviews online and, I believe, many of the negative ones completely miss the point.

For this episode of Sustainably LB, I got to hold space with Susan Marrufo, Founder of Samarasa Center Student, Retreat Facilitator, Yoga and Meditation Teacher. Now, it isn’t often that a guest and I will divide straight into the interview, but that is what happened with Susan and me. Our conversation was so organic that I didn’t want to stop the flow of it to welcome her to the podcast. It really almost felt so tho that welcome had woven itself into our conversation already as we had truly ...
