The Ananda Podcast

On this episode we chat with Emma Terrell aka The Urban Botanist is a biologist, entrepreneur, and nature educator right here in Ottawa who's spent the last nine years helping people reconnect with the natural world.We get into her story - going from political science to biology, working as a flight attendant while finishing her degree, and building a business that exploded during the pandemic. We talk about what it actually means to run a business that works with nature instead of against it, why most "eco-friendly" branding is surface level, and what real sustainability looks like when you're scaling.We also get into why we're all so disconnected from nature, what it's doing to our health, the case for growing your own food, and how something as simple as one houseplant can start to shift things. Plus Dylan and Emma discover they're both obsessed with salamanders and it kind of derails everything in the best way.Join us on the journey to finding your bliss. ✨Follow along on socials @anandaelixirsDiscover Shroom Soda® at anandaelixirs.comFind Emma at @theurbanbotanist and https://theurbanbotanist.ca/

What actually happens when you go on Dragons' Den?

They also share why, despite shaking hands on air, they ultimately chose not to move forward and what that decision taught them about equity, growth, and trusting their instincts as founders.Beyond the show itself, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the reality of rapid growth: production delays, sold-out inventory, customer expectations, reinvesting every dollar back into the business, and learning how to scale without burning out or losing control.Whether you’ve ever dreamed of applying to Dragon’s Den, love watching the show, or are simply curious about how businesses actually grow behind the scenes, this episode offers an honest, unfiltered look at what TV doesn’t show and why the real transformation happens long after the pitch.Join us on the journey to finding your bliss. ✨Follow along on socials @anandaelixirsDiscover Shroom Soda® at anandaelixirs.com

By your mid-20s or 30s, it can feel like there’s an invisible checklist you’re supposed to be following: the career, the relationship, the house, the kids, the success, all by a certain age. And if you’re not “there” yet, it’s easy to assume you’re behind.In this episode, Sammi and Dylan unpack where these timelines actually come from: family expectations, cultural conditioning, capitalism, and the constant comparison machine of social media, and how they quietly shape the way we make decisions about our lives.They get personal about the moments they felt behind, the timelines they thought they'd follow that completely fell apart, and how perfectionism and high-achiever energy can turn timeline pressure into anxiety, self-doubt, or rushed choices. We talk honestly about an unexpected pregnancy, business failures, childhood pressure, moving countries, and the moments that blew up their original plans — and why those moments weren’t failures, but redirections.This conversation is about redefining success in your 20s and 30s, letting go of what you’re no longer chasing, and learning how to trust the pace of your own life, even when it doesn’t look like anyone else’s. Because growth isn’t linear, alignment can’t be rushed, and your life isn’t late just because it looks different than you imagined.If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I behind?”, this episode is for you.Join us on the journey to finding your bliss. ✨Follow along on socials @anandaelixirsDiscover Shroom Soda® at anandaelixirs.com

This episode features a heartfelt and insightful conversation between host Samantha Dreiling and guest Samantha Piercynski, a clinical therapist with over 25 years of experience specializing in trauma, grief, and narcissistic abuse recovery. The discussion focuses on understanding the complexities of grief, which can be more than just the loss of a loved one, encompassing life transitions like moving, career changes, or relationship endings. Key Points: Grief isn't limited to death; it includes any significant change, and the healing journey is nonlinear. The five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—are more like fluctuating emotions rather than a sequence. Healing from grief involves talking openly, finding supportive people, and using practices like movement and somatic therapies to process emotions. Samantha shares insights on dealing with narcissistic relationships, highlighting the patterns of love bombing, devaluation, and hoovering, while emphasizing the importance of self-love and strong boundaries.
