In this episode I sit down with Ara Katz - co-founder of Seed Probiotics; a brand I have been curious about ever since I started taking their products for the first time several years ago.

In this episode, we dive deep into what a microbiome is, how we can nurture our own in more simplistic and substantial ways, and the importance of doing so in order to enhance our physical and emotional wellbeing, including our gut health and immune systems.

We talk about approaching illness and unrest in a more open and wholesome way; exploring nourishing ways to keep well and to heal the body, instead of searching for quick fixes or temporary pain reliefs that could disrupt the equilibrium of the body.

We also discuss how being in nature and / or around animals can create microbial diversity, and we touch on our modern habits that could be disrupting and stripping us of bacterial diversity; such as antibiotics, household cleaning products and more.

In this episode, we touch on:

• What is a microbiome - the lost organ
• The importance of bacteria diversity for our bodies' functionality
• How to work with probiotics and avoiding misuse
• Navigating communicable diseases and understanding antibiotic resistance
• How to enhance our microbiome through diet and exposure to healthy and diverse ranges of bacteria

Welcome back to The Process Podcast. I'm so grateful you're joining me for a brand new season as we enter the new year. In this episode, we explore how to approach the new year in a slower, softer and more aligned way; one that - you'll be pleased to know - isn't built on goal-setting, resolutions and / or any step-by-step methods that promise to "change your life". Instead, we talk about:

• Planning less (and how over-planning could actually be limiting you)
• Doing what feels good for you instead of feeling like you need to do what everyone around you is doing
• Personal alignment and self-understanding
• Welcoming failures and letting go of perfectionism
• Trusting the process without constantly feeling you need to be proactive and productive in order to get anywhere in life

We talk about individualising the way you move through life; learning how to tap into what you really want, and what truly lights you up and makes you feel good, instead of forcing yourself into roles or situations that don't really feel like 'you'. Forget "New Year, New You"; this episode stands for "New Year, Real you". And I answer a few listener questions about finding fulfilment in your career, tips for entrepreneurship, and a look into my own personal intentions for the year ahead.

In this episode I am interviewing my good friend Alexia Karides, founder of The Ysso; a Greek jewellery brand specialising in handcrafted statement jewellery and accessories.

Alexia and I met through work in 2020, and since then, we have worked together to design my bespoke jewellery for my wedding in September of 2022. This summer, we are launching an incredibly exciting collaboration together; the Danielle Copperman x The Ysso collection. We share our vision for the collection, and why such unique and consciously curated pieces are so special to me. I am so excited to bring this collaboration to life as it is one so close to my heart.

In this episode we talk about sustainable business process and practices, the importance of mindful and conscious consumerism in the fashion industry, and get deep into the topic of personal style and dressing with confidence. We cover our own personal experiences of losing our own sense of style as we both head into very different careers, and how we managed to rediscover our own personal and unique style having lost it for so long.

We talk about vintage pieces and statement pieces and how to build looks around special items in a way that allows us to freely and creatively explore our own authentic sense of style, and we discuss our mutual missions for inspiring others to discover smaller and more meaningful brands in the ever evolving fashion industry.

I hope you love this episode, and further more, our collaboration collection. You can find the full collection on www.theysso.com and discover the pieces also on Instagram @dcopperman @the.ysso.
