EP13: "Embracing Individuality" Lara Devgan MD

Dr. Lara Devgan is a prominent plastic surgeon in a male dominated field. As a mother of six - 4 boys and 2 girls -she’s built a practice where you are encouraged to embrace your individuality and unique differences. In a judgmental world with taboos and stigmas around plastic surgery, she’s demystifying what’s behind the curtain and truly believes you can be a person of substance and want to look your best.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Devgan last year while interviewing doctors as I considered a breast lift. I immediately fell in love with her, she has a gentle hand and a subtle approach to plastic surgery. I’m not only happy with the results of this very complex procedure, but am forever grateful that this inspiring woman is in my life.

Dr. Devgan is a board-certified, Yale-educated, Johns Hopkins Medical School-instructed, and Columbia/ New York Presbyterian Hospital-trained plastic & reconstructive surgeon. Her special interests are cosmetic surgery of the face and body, and reconstructive surgery for breast cancer, skin cancer, and facial injuries.

Amina’s Favorites:

Lovely Amina what are your "keep my sanity"’ essentials?

My sanity essentials vary depending on how much time I have. But on a good day,  I wake up early and meditate for 20-minutes (I’m a vedic meditator and have been trained with a specific vedic mantra).  I follow that up with a kundalini practice. After meditation, I move my body (usually a mix of yoga, pilates, HIIT and spin).  I find healthy movement to be so instrumental for me in processing emotion. I meditate again at 4pm for another 20 minutes.  I usually end the day with a candle and quiet with an early bedtime to boot. Honestly, nothing says self care and sanity to me like going to bed at 9:30pm :)

On a crazy day it looks like a whole lot less.  Meditation is my non-negotiable so I always start my day with 20 minutes and do my second sitting in the afternoon—sometimes later than I'd like. And on these more condensed days, I will take 5-minutes and do something that brings me joy.  Even if it’s just reading a magazine, coloring or watching Friends, I have to have that in there to stay sane. 

What’s your favorite workout?

Ahh, so many.  I love me some high intensity (for my high intensity Scorpio personality) and I used to be a spin teacher. My workouts are a mix of HIIT, spin, hot yoga and pilates.  

What is your non-negotiable self care routine or tool? 

Meditation.  That is the one thing I cannot do without.  Take away all my powders, adaptogens and practices, but me and meditation are for life.  

What is the best beauty / health / wellness advise a parent or family member has given you?

I was born with a lot of fire and energy and I have a tendency to push myself really hard. My mom is super chill and used to tell me ALL THE TIME in high school that I should take "mental health days."  I used to roll my eyes and be so annoyed at the suggestion of missing school (I was such a goodie goodie) but nowadays, I take them regularly.  We need them.  We need the opportunity to pause, recharge and reevaluate.  Nothing can come through when we are heads down and pushing all the time.

Vienna’s Favorites:

Vienna what are your "keep my sanity"’ essentials?

My sanity essentials are maintaining healthy relationships and prioritizing connection and togetherness with the people in my life. Almost every week I get a foot and body massage from this amazing hole in the wall massage place that is so restorative. Working out keeps my sanity, diffusing oils, keeping my home as a calm and soothing space, sleeping (friends, invest in your sleep space), and maintaining a sense of playfulness in each day.

What’s your favorite workout?

Favorite workouts are boxing and The Class by Taryn Toomey. I do them both multiple times a week. 

Your non-negotiable self care routine or tool?

Being at peace with myself and others. It's the greatest routine in the world. Clear, healthy thoughts and choosing peace over suffering as often as I can. But that's probably not the answer you were expecting ;), so....self care where I don't negotiate: vitamins, evening routine that winds me down for the day -- give me an Image Skincare sheet mask every night of my life and I'm a happy camper (have you tried them?!) and some Tammy Fender lavender oil. I'm digging dry brushing and using a gua sha to release tension in my face and jaw! AND...SLEEP. I don't short change myself there.

And finally what is the best beauty / health / wellness advise a parent or family member has given you?

Sleep and water do wonders.

Joy is what makes you beautiful.

Arden Martin is a special soul. Shortly after meeting at mediation class we clicked, and became the sort of friends that don’t remember exactly how they became friends, but whose bond feels true and old.

4. And what’s the best beauty / health / wellness advise a parent or family member has given you? Growing up, my parents always encouraged me to stop everything and rest when I’m sick rather than push through. I still do this unapologetically as an adult!

Workshops: Healthy Mindset

I had the pleasure of hosting another group workshop last Monday. We gathered at the beautiful Hatch Collection space downtown, where a group of lovely women got to learn simple methods to creating a healthy mindset. The include identifying the areas of your life where you don’t feel nourished or fulfilled, analyzing the limiting thoughts that keep you stuck there and breaking these beliefs with powerful truths. We meditated, journaled and learned about essential oils that support in keeping us balanced.

Thank you to the lovely Amina AlTai for partnering in cohosting this experience, Shikah for the gorgeous photos and Arden Martin for sharing some clean beauty goodies from Beauty Counter we got to take home.

If you’re interested in staying in the loop with upcoming events please sign up to my once-in-a-while newsletter here.

EP 6: "Shedding light on the Shadows" Amina AlTai

Meet my dear friend Amina AlTai, 33 years young in this lifetime, with an ancient and wise soul. Our paths crossed again following a brief disconnect, and I'm ecstatic I get to see her lovely visage regularly during our coaching sessions (Amina is MY wellness and business coach... yes.. wellness coaches get coached too :)

Please read below for our .LIVE Journal Q+A, and listen in as we discuss shedding light on your shadows, how what you hide owns you, and the direct link between nutrition and career performance.

p.s If you're loving our podcasts, Arden and I would love you even more if you leave us a review :)

Hi Amina! How would you define your occupation? Nourishment Expert, Healthy Business Coach.

What's your nationality / background? Half Welsh, Half Iraqi.

What were you favorite and least favorite foods mom cooked for you as a child? Favorite: Bamya... It's an Arab dish made with okra and lamb in a tomato sauce.  That was my jam! Least favorite food: Anything with raisins.  Why not just eat grapes?!  I seriously didn't get them and used to tell my mom they "gave me a headache" so she wouldn't make me eat them.  

What is your favorite healthy home-made recipe? I eat pretty simply at home and I'm a creature of habit so I like to make things I can eat for a few days at a time.  This time of year I like lots of soups and broths so I'm really into Red Lentil Bolognese.  It's gluten free, vegan and super delish (in my humble opinion)

Ingredients

1 cup red lentils

4 ripe tomatoes, chopped

2 cloves of garlic

1/2 onion, chopped

1 carrot, shredded

4 celery stalks, diced

1 cup veggie broth

4 tbs sundried tomato powder (or tomato paste)

1 tbs oregano

1 tsp fennel seeds

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp chipotle powder

Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Sauté onions, garlic, celery, carrots and tomatoes in 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat until tender, about 5-10 minutes.

Add veggie broth to pan along with lentils and remaining spices. Continue to cook over medium heat until lentils are soft, about 30-45 minutes.

You may serve this dish over spaghetti squash, quinoa, brown rice or on its own.

“Whatever pulls you is pulling you for a good reason, so it’s worth examining.”

What are your "keep my sanity"’ essentials? I have at least 4 baths a week—they are so key to my sanity!  I'm also a Vedic meditator which really really helps in this busy city.  Also, working out 4-5 times a week is my sweet spot and those are major stress busters for me!  

What was your favorite bonding activity you did with your mom as a child? We used to go on Sunday family hikes and those were always the best. I loved being out in nature with my parents and just running free.  Great times.  

What has been the best beauty / health / wellness advice your mother has given you? Always wear sunscreen!  I have much more melanin than my Welsh mom—but I'm not immune to sun damage.  So, protecting my skin with hats, good quality sunscreen and a great skin care routine are clutch.  

What beauty / health / wellness advice will you pass on to your kids? If I have children, I would love for them to feel the same way about veggies that I do. But, I'd settle for them avoiding sugar.  From wreaking havoc on skin, to brain health to type 2 diabetes, sugar really is the route of all evil. (Well, maybe not all, but a lot!)

What is your go to / favorite workout? I'm super in HIIT but balanced out with yoga and spin.  I love Switch Playground NYC and Modo for hot yoga. The.  Best.  

What is your non-negotiable self care routine or tool? Sleep is everything to me.  With two autoimmune diseases I try hard not to mess with it.   It's so key not only for a well-functioning brain but in my case it really impacts my digestion.  

One beauty tool I'm obsessed with right now is my jade gua sha tool.  It's amazing for depuffing, but allows for healthy lymphatic drainage in my face.  I have Hashimotos thyroiditis and one of the side effects is swelling in my face.  This tool works such a treat on that puffiness. Its a game-changer.  

Additional advice you'd like to share? My big juicy life goal is to bring nourishment, joy and abundance to women in business.  We spend more time at work than anywhere else, why can't we feel our best in it?  And I firmly believe that healthy founders and leaders  are tied to healthy bottom line.  If you're interested in checking out my Entrepreneurial-nourished Coaching Program you can learn more here.

EP 4: “Redefining Yoga + Motherhood” Jessica Mougis

Jessica Mougis is honest, wise, and all-around lovely. It was an absolute pleasure to interview her for the Live Journal Podcast! Jessica is a seasoned yoga instructor who currently works with young children and families. She recently founded Jem Yoga NYC and teaches throughout Manhattan while raising her adorable daughter, Emily.

Jessica and I had a lovely conversation about the following:

• What does “balance” really mean for busy humans?

• How can yoga be practiced in a way that isn’t sweaty, intense, and Lululemon-clad?

• What’s the point of doing yoga with babies and toddlers?

• How can we take care of ourselves when there isn’t much “space” for it?

EP 3: "Glowing Skin" with Arden and Paola

Hello friends!

As my next "Glowing Skin Cleanse" session fast approaches (2 1/2 weeks guys!) I sit with Arden to explain the benefits of cleansing, why Fall is the best season to do so, and how this particular program can benefit if you're looking for a gentle yet thorough approach.

A few highlights:

* Fall is a transitional season, taking us from the heat and energy of the Summer, into the cold and slow Winter months. It's good to get rid of the sludge we have accumulated (and all those glasses of Rose) before we feel like hibernating - and let that stuff literally stick to our system.

* My program is a step by step guide, gentle yet deep. I give you the tools and set up for a long term beauty and wellness routine. Best of all I will be your partner, going through the process with you.

* You can lead your day to day during the program. No need to seclude yourself for the three weeks, this works around busy schedules. I will give you ways to create moments throughout the day, to take time for yourself without feeling selfish or guilty.

Please listen in. If you get a chance to visit us on iTunes at The Live Journal podcast please leave a review and rating

and as always, if you have any questions about the cleanse or any please email me, I am here for you, any time.

EP 2: "My Story" Paola Atlason

Hello friends,

I'm happy to announce that we have a PODCAST! WooHoo!!!

The Live Journal

Since starting my wellness practice I am very clear on my intention: I want to share all I know about health, wellness, self-care and clean beauty with you, in hopes to help you understand that taking time for yourself is:

A) Simple

B) It doesn't cost a lot of money (if any at all) and...

C) It doesn't take up your whole day

I wasn't sure of HOW I would get the message across, but I knew I HAD to. My hopes were to be interviewed by a wellness blog or podcast, so that I could reach larger groups at a time, but that wasn't happening. So in good ol' Paola fashion I created the platforms myself :) If you know me personally you know I dive in, I don't sit on an idea for too long without acting on it - I worry it will leave me if I do so. So here we are.

In this episode I get to share my story. My dear friend and podcast collaborator Arden Martin turned the tables on me, and asked a few questions. You'll listen to juicy details on how I've ended up here, and what turns me on these days (it's not exactly sexy, but it is to me lol). I am honored and beyond happy to share this adventure with Arden, and if you haven't already, please listen to our very first interview where we learn about her personal journey.

In coming weeks we will be sharing interviews with self-care experts from around the world, they will tell us their personal stories and share practical advice. Please make sure to visit us (and leave a comment if you would) in Itunes Podcasts at: The Live Journal.

You can also email us health / wellness / clean beauty / self care questions - or topics you would like to learn about at:

thelivejournalpodcast@gmail.com

We're here for you, with so much love.

EP 1: "You deserve the best" Arden Martin

Arden has become a dear friend and support in my own wellness journey. Originally from California, she now lives in New York and serves the collective as a Vedic Meditation teacher. She is beautiful inside and out, and her skin has the dewiest, healthiest, most beautiful glow, as if it shines from within.

Arden is also the first interview in our podcast:

The Live Journal

Please listen to our lovely Interview and read below for extra nuggets of inspiration.

What is your nationality / background? I'm half Chinese, half Irish/Italian/Pan-European :) I was born and raised in Silicon Valley, California.

What were you favorite and least favorite foods mom cooked for you as a child? My mom is from Taiwan, and she cooks amazing Chinese food - but she also made the BEST lasagna and chocolate torte when I was a kid. I've still never tasted a red sauce as good as hers. She also gave me cottage cheese and canned peaches as a snack, which I can't believe I loved... I'm a 90's kid through and through! My least favorite food was squash in any form, but I've grown to like it as an adult.

What is your favorite healthy home-made recipe? I don't cook much lately, but my favorite thing to throw together is greens and beans, inspired by Molly Wizenberg's method on Orangette. It's comforting, delicious, and so simple. Here's what I do (click for recipe)

“You deserve the best. Never feel unworthy or not justified in having the best.”

— Swami Brahmananda Saraswati

What was your favorite bonding activity you did with your mom as a child? When I was really little, my mom and I used to go out for donuts and bear claw pastries - we didn't keep many sweets in the house, so this was always super exciting. As I got older, I often joined her on her evening walk and we would talk about all sorts of things. I've always admired my mom's commitment to jogging each morning and walking each night, not to burn calories but to clear her mind and move some energy around. There's a lot of strength in her consistency.

What are your "keep my sanity"’ essentials? I splurge on skincare (Living Libations from CAP Beauty is my go-to), so it feels like a treat to wash my face each night. I also avoid setting an alarm in the morning whenever possible. Finally, a little time to myself each day is key.

What has been the best beauty / health / wellness advice your mother has given you? Pamper yourself from time to time. Also, a little makeup goes a long way - first and foremost, it's important to look like yourself.

What beauty / health / wellness advice will you pass on to your kids? "You deserve the best. Never feel unworthy or not justified in having the best. I tell you this is your heritage; but you have to accept it, you have to expect it. You have to claim it. To do so is not demanding too much." ~ Swami Brahmananda Saraswati 

What is your go to / favorite workout? Walking and light yoga... my body doesn't love intense exercise, so I keep it easy!

What is your non-negotiable self care routine or tool? Vedic Meditation - It's made me the woman I am today, and I'm so grateful to be sharing it with others for a living.

Any other special things you want to share? For women especially, intuition is everything. We all have an inner voice, but it's often distorted by stress - and so many of us aren't sure how to listen or what to listen to. Whatever helps you connect with that inner voice is worth your time, every single day. And if you don't yet have a way, meditation is a great place to start.
