Brandi Gregge is the founder and medical director of Mint & Needle and a client of Social Stylate, Lauren's PR and marketing company. Over the past several years, they've worked together to promote not only her practice but also her proprietary skincare line and, most recently, her nonprofit, Empowerment Beyond Scars, which is an organization dedicated to providing regenerative medical aesthetic services free of charge to survivors of physical abuse and violence in interpersonal relationships. Brandi Greege's Empowerment Beyond Scars aims to make a significant difference in promoting healing through physical appearance to boost confidence so women and men feel at ease as they move forward.

In this episode, Alexis and Lauren go between the sheets. Why is sex discussed so easily when we're in our 20s but feel off-limits later in life? Why aren't dinners with girlfriends similar to a Sex and the City episode: a group of women asking questions, giving advice, and sharing their likes and dislikes? Is sex a form of self-care? These are just some of the questions in a conversation with many unexpected turns. Join our Facebook Community for question prompts surrounding this episode and more behind-the-scenes conversations.

Alexis and Lauren continue their conversation about Money. This time, they dig deeper into personal and professional stories while referencing the book that inspired this conversation: Happy Money by Ken Honda. Money is more than paper or numbers; it is energy. In a scarcity mindset, this energy carries fear-based emotions of stress, anxiety, hopelessness, injustice, jealousy, and more. But, reframed positively, Money can transform lives and inspire hope, freedom, and the ability to express appreciation, gratitude, and happiness.

Thalia Fischer, founder of All Seated in a Barn, is a profoundly empathetic human with a heart of gold. A self-described problem-solver, while in 5th grade, found her calling when she gave a passionate speech about the inhumane treatment and slaughter of horses. All Seated in a Barn is on the ground at auctions, pulling as many horses and donkeys from direct kill shipping to Mexico and Canada for slaughter. Sometimes, it's a rescue, rehab, and relocation to live the rest of their lives forever safe from human harm. Unfortunately, she also rescues them for a humane end of their lives rather than being shipped off to certain death at the cruel and profiting hands of others. All Seated in a Barn is a public 501c3 charity and a recent recipient of The Humane Society of the United States. Its current team of 30 dreams of positively growing its organization, and at the time of this conversation, All Seated in a Barn has saved 2,252 lives.

Two years ago, Dana was in a heterosexual marriage, and she is now living a happy, authentic life as a lesbian, sharing the kids between two loving households.
