Active Ingredient Podcast

Welcome to Active Ingredient - a podcast and platform for those of us who are in the process of co-creating lives and businesses that feel rooted, expansive, resonant and true to us. I'm your host, Sophie Weill, and I'm a deeply curious human who is also on my own journey of co-creating a life and businesses that are true to me. I'm the founder of Nude Nation, a creative brand building agency as well as the co-founder of Piano Piano, a tableware brand rooted in slowing down and coming alive. I've spent my entire career building and amplifying brands and the humans behind them and what I have come to understand is that the inner work precedes the outer growth and that everything in life is a mirror of our internal state which is precisely what we're here to connect on. Welcome to Active Ingredient - I am so glad you're here.  Hosted on Acast.

    Boxing as a Tool to Physically Process Rage with Alberto Ortiz of Work Train Fight

    This week's episode is all about the importance of acknowledging, confronting, processing and moving rage and/or anger through and out of the body. And we're specifically talking about doing this through the tool of boxing. I brought my boxing trainer on, Alberto Ortiz, who is the founder of Work Train Fight - a boxing gym in soho in New York where I have boxed with him for 10 years - to talk about what boxing is actually doing on a deeper level and how it's such a potent tool when it comes to processing tougher emotions, liberating yourself and becoming more and more aligned, integrated and embodied.&nbsp;In this episode we're talking about how boxing saves lives, why confronting your darker tougher emotions and parts of ourselves is so important and liberating, the importance of letting yourself be seen and using your voice, and why keeping you fighting spirit alive.&nbsp;For my New York listeners, Alberto let me know he is offering Active Ingredient listeners a complimentary 1:1 boxing session at his gym which is truly life changing. I simply cannot recommend it enough!

    Connect to the Feeling as Often as You Can

    Here's a reminder solo on choosing to connect with the feeling and not holding so tightly onto what it looks like. And choosing the feeling over and over again as much as we can until we close the gap. My IG: @sophieiweillActive Ingredient IG: @activeingredient Hosted on Acast.

    How To Create, Connect & Express Yourself Freely Through Play with Piera Gelardi

    I love this episode !!!! We have Piera Gelardi back on the show for her second round talking all things play and her debut book, The Playful Way: Creativity, Connection and Joy Through Everyday Moments of Play. We're talking about how/why we forget our playful nature and how to slowly slowly return, we're talking cringe, vulnerability, how to lead with authenticity and so much more.

    Protecting Creativity, Visibility Fears & Building With Integrity With Tonya Papanikolov

    I'm joined by Tonya Papanikolov, founder of Rainbo, for a conversation on visibility, creativity, slowing down, building with integrity, and learning to trust yourself through every season of growth. We talk about the fear of being seen, what happens when life calls you inward, the tension between freedom and responsibility, feminine vs. masculine energy in business, aging, beauty, Human Design, and how to know when to stay the course vs. pivot. This felt less like an interview and more like two projectors having a very honest conversation about what it means to build a life and business that actually feels true.Active Ingredient listeners can get 15% off Rainbo with code ACTIVE.
