Today’s show features special guest Sonalie Figueiras also known as The Green Queen.  I have been a fan of her work for a while, and after I became recently inspired to do more to save our planet, I asked her to join the show.  Even if you are not personally inspired to do more for our planet, you should know that an environmental dimension has been added to most wellness balance models, so appreciating and taking of your environment is for your own good.  Aside from that, I challenge you to listen to Sonalie speak and not be inspired to be an eco warrior.  We cover a ton of topics including how to inspire change with positivity and inclusivity, the parallel between our health and our planet’s health, easy ways to change the world, the next best thing to a plant-based diet for reducing your carbon footprint, why Sonalie is so excited about the Loop project and circular economy, why men are not marketed to as much as women to become eco-warriors, CBD, her wellness trend predictions for 2019, and tons more!  Don’t miss this jam packed episode!
