One Part Podcast

I’ve loved every single guest and story I’ve shared on the podcast, but Mariah Naella’s story feels extra special. Maybe it’s because I had never even spoken to her before and she was so generous and open. Maybe it’s because her story was so compelling that I was a little speechless at times. Or maybe it’s […]

The pod is BACK, complete with a new monthly series called One Part Pledge, and I’m so excited about it! Don’t worry, if you love the original podcast, it’ll still be there. But I really think you’re going to like this new addition.  Here’s the deal:  A One Part Pledge pod will go up at the […]

Creative director and photographer Emma Arnold (aka Très Awesome) is here this week. Emma and I discuss standing out creatively in a saturated market, balancing a 9-to-5 with other creative outlets, and how to create honest conversations about depression. PLUS, she made a plant-based recipe just for this episode (and it’s super duper easy!).  Here’s Emma:  Listen […]

Designer and self-described, modern-day memory keeper Kelly Purkey and I discuss her ditching the idea of a traditional home to travel the world, the decision to shift the voice of her brand, how she’s changed the perception of her industry, and why she’s just not down with excessive oversharing online. Can’t wait for you to hear this […]

This week’s guest is Erica Chidi. She’s a chef, doula, and the founder of The Mama Circle. She’s also a really good storyteller, and I loved our conversation together so much.  Erica and I discuss her experiences growing up in the United States and South Africa, finding her true passion to help other women, uncovering a […]

This week’s guest is musician De’Mar Hamilton. De’Mar and I have been friends for years, and I’ve made him do things like this and this before…but this is for sure my most favorite thing we’ve done together. De’Mar and I discuss his early beginnings in Chicago, the music experience that transformed his career, the blessing […]

Get ready to fall in love with one of my favorite people on the planet, because Megan Silianoff is this week’s guest. Megan was in town from Texas to host this month’s For Reals Meals, and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to interview her…in person. My first face-to-face interview for the podcast. And it all went […]

And we’re back! This week’s guest is Jena Gambaccini of ChiCityFashion. You’ve probably seen Jena around here before…creating half-assed meals and being the only person ever allowed to attend multiple For Reals Meals (it’s hard to say no to her). Jena’s been a big supporter of OPP since day one. And I’m really excited for […]

Food-photography queen bee, Julie Lee of Julie’s Kitchen, is this week’s guest! Julie’s been on the site before, sharing one of her beautiful recipes and hosting the first ever LA For Reals Meals, but this is the first time we really dig deep into the path she followed that brought her to success. And that […]

Heather Crosby is this week’s guest. Remember her? She was on the site earlier this week to give away her new cookbook (it’s so good!). Clearly, I’ve got a thing for Heather and her message. And maybe her spicy taco recipe too. After hearing this episode, you’ll understand why I dig her so much. Heather and […]

Dana Gordon of Dana Rebecca Designs (DRD) is my guest this week. One of the reasons I love Dana is that she never disappoints in the “real talk” department. She cuts through the bullshit and is always genuine, honest, and practical when comes to conversations on business and tricky life things. And she knows what […]

Who says thirteen isn’t lucky? Actually, I do all the time. I’m pretty superstitious. But getting to interview one of my favorite podcast hosts for this thirteenth episode feels pretty damn lucky. Eric Zimmer is the soothing voice behind the incredible and thought-provoking podcast, The One You Feed. Eric and I discuss the parable that inspired […]

Sarah Gidick is this week’s guest. She’s the mastermind behind the popular site and Instagram Porn For Women (which is not actually porn – so you can listen and read post this at work, friends!). You might remember that Joy Claire mentioned Sarah on Episode 5 as someone that inspires her. Man, she was right. Her story […]

Jess Lively is today’s guest. She’s one of the biggest reasons I wanted to start a podcast in the first place. Well, that and I like to talk a lot. Jess is one of the most passionate people I know – and watching her do her thing (when I was a guest on her show) gave […]

Kip Andersen is this week’s guest. He’s the man behind the new environmental documentary, Cowspiracy. Described as “the film environmental organizations don’t want you to see,” it chronicles Kip’s journey to uncover the most destructive industry facing our planet. Kip and I discuss the catalyst for creating the film, how a Mad Cowboy almost scared […]

Max Wastler is my guest this week. I’ve known Max for about four years, but it wasn’t until this episode that I truly understood the passion behind the risks he’s taken and choices he’s made with his career. It made for a solid talk. Max talks about the 33 jobs he’s had in 33 years, […]

Jamie Stelter is the morning traffic anchor for NY1, author of Transit Girl, the star of two web series on Ulive, and the creator of the popular food site TV Dinner. Oh, and you may remember that she was a Babe In Plantland, right here on OPP. I couldn’t wait to talk to Jamie about everything […]

The beautiful and brave Jordan Younger is this week’s guest. She’s gotten a lot of attention the last two months – and it all started with one controversial post made on her popular blog. Very excited to have the opportunity to share her story here on OPP. Jordan speaks openly about the post and the […]

In this week’s episode, I talk with Adina Grigore, the mastermind behind S.W. Basics. A big-time brand that’s changing the game in wellness and skincare across the globe. Adina candidly shares the slow climb of success for S.W. Basics…from zero customers on Etsy to being sold in over 200 stores. We discuss what she believes […]

In this week’s episode, I interview marketing and branding smarty Joy Claire of Clairvoyant Agency and creator of @rapperswithpuppies. It’s true, she’s shockingly pretty. I know. But I’m excited to share just how savvy, kind, and inspiring she is too. Joy and I discuss the 12-year hustle to get to where she is today, the […]
