Well Being, Well Said.

To anyone who has ever listened to “Well Being, Well Said.” - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! These past 2 years and 100 episodes have been incredible. My prayer is that through this show, some of you have been challenged to think slightly differently, and in turn, have felt more inspired to live a more “well lived” life. This isn’t good bye forever, just “so long” for now. As always, please stay connected via Instagram!

Katy Whalen knew she was not alone. After multiple year struggles with infertility, miscarriages, and IVF, Katy finally gave birth to her beautiful baby girl and then a boy to complete her family. Yet, as the light at the end of the tunnel was sitting in her arms in baby form, Katy didn’t feel like herself. She was left feeling fatigued, hormonal, overweight, and filled with brain fog - an all too common destination that women find themselves at after becoming a mother and walking down an infertility path. Determined to feel better from the inside out, Katy went on a holistic health journey and uncovered the world of hormone optimization and peptide therapies. The roadblock? Peptides were so difficult to come by! As she watched peptides transform her life and get her back to the Katy she had come to know pre-fertility journey, she set out to create Joi, a place where women can manage their health holistically and start to truly feel like themselves.

A little bit about Joi: Joi allows you to take control of your well-being with innovative peptide and hormone balancing therapies. Through a simple three step process - scheduling an online visit, completing needed diagnostic labs, and having personalized treatments shipped to your door - Joi is helping women lose weight, have better energy, improved sleep, a higher sex drive, and even youthful skin improvement, amongst others. Some of their most popular treatment packages include Cognitive Function, Anti-Aging, and Gut and Immunity.

Today I'm sharing a few things I've learned along the way when it comes to engaging in small talk! Now, small talking comes in various forms - email, work events, awkward dinner parties where you don't know anyone other than the guest of honor... Guessing that we've all been there before in some form or fashion. Have you? Well if so, then hopefully today's episode will provide you with a few tactical ways to bring out your best next time you're hoping to dodge a potentially uncomfortable conversation!

In this episode, I'm attempting to verify the thoughts, actions, and responses behind those little blue verification check marks. While not always relatable, remember that celebrities and influencers alike are in fact, real humans. With real feelings (both positive and negative) and unique health journeys of their own. 

So.. come along as I attempt to find the holistic side of Hollywood, updating you on all things pop culture but.. with a healthy spin. 

- Tristan Thompson & his recent IG stories talking about "responsibility"; How is Khloe? Plus, my thoughts on using "strong" as a compliment.

- Adele has rescheduled her Las Vegas residency.

- Lil Wayne mourns the loss of retired New Orleans cop he said saved his life at age 12.

- Britney Spears... the latest. Is she okay? Wishing only the best for Ms. Spears.

Two words that keep showing up for me: 1) intentionality & 2) fellowship. Recently I've been thinking about and discovering just how important both words are in my life. Being intentional and surrounding myself with the fellowship of the *right* friends really impacts my life for the better. 

My hope is that these short solo episodes feel relatable. Want to continue chatting about this topic or maybe something different altogether? Let's connect!

Kate Jacobs... Wow. Where do I even begin? This woman is incredible. Having met Kate in college, I always knew her as the fun, outgoing, lovable character everyone wanted to be around. And she is still is all of those things. But even more than that, she's a woman of God with an unshakeable faith. Her testimony is powerful, y'all. Her story has inspired and challenged me.. Making me wonder if I could speak of God as boldly and confidently as she does had I been through similar circumstances.  Kate and her husband Trey reside in Madison, MS with their son Matthew. The couple also has a daughter in heaven, Mary Owen.  Connect With Kate: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/katejacobs1132 Gmail: katejacobs1132@gmail.com Connect With Sarah: Website: www.sarahmalouf.com Email: sarahdmalouf@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahmalouf__/ Bailey Henry's Book, "Having A Baby & Other Things I'm Bad At: Short stories about living life with infertility" https://www.amazon.com/Having-Baby-Other-Things-Bad/dp/1098377117/ref=sr_1_1?crid=TB02CU6TZ5Z4&keywords=having+a+baby+and+other+things+im+bad+at&qid=1655866723&sprefix=having+a+baby+and+o%2Caps%2C669&sr=8-1

Because I really wanted as much "Kate time" as possible, our time together went long, resulting in a two part episode. Be sure to come back in the coming days to listen to part 2 once it's released.

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to me try my best to explain what's been on my heart this week. Listen, I get it... it's really, really hard to try to not let your emotions rule you. If I'm being honest, I let my emotions get the best of me more than I'd like to admit. But what I'm currently working on is acknowledging that there is a difference between my temporary emotions and my eternal beliefs. My truth resides in something (or Someone) so much bigger than my life here on earth. Now, this doesn't mean that what I feel isn't real. At the time of this emotional experience, what I'm feeling is very much real. But if I dig deeper, I'll see that my feelings dictate what I truly believe at that point in time. And what I believe isn't always what's true.

If you'd like to continue this conversation with me directly, I'd love it if you either sent me a DM on Instagram or sent me an email. My email address is sarahdmalouf@gmail.com and my Instagram and website are both linked below.

A note from Bella: 

What’s up friends! Let’s get some good vibes and dance!

So I’m Bella and I am 8 years old. I love fashion, art, drawing, camping and I want to be a fashion designer when I grow up. You may know me from TikTok where I have almost 5 million followers on an account my mom runs of course. We like to spread joy there and inspire people to be brave through hard times. I have been through hard times. Over 800 days to be in hospital to be exact. I was born with 3 rare conditions too; SCID, CHH & Hirschsprung’s disease. My mom tells me I’ve moved many mountains through the 24 surgeries I’ve been through so far. Right now I am listed and waiting for a bowel transplant. I am really excited to one day get my bowel transplant so I can do more normal kids stuff without so many medical restrictions. But most of all I hope I can inspire you to be brave.

Helllooo beautiful humans! I was inspired to record this episode after recently receiving an interesting question from a follower over on IG. Her question read, "How do you make connections/friends? I can be shy/intimidated & have struggled with this." UGH- MY HEARTSTRINGS. But here's the thing.. I've heard a lot of people asking this same question. How do we meet people and make friends in adulthood?!

Growing up, we had school and various structures in our lives that somewhat forced friendships upon us. But as adults, that is not the case. So.. how do we make friends as an adult? It's a wild, wild west out there, so my hope for today's episode is that through these tips, you will receive tangible advice that you can implement today and be well on your way to building lasting friendships!

No time to listen? Okay, here are my 4 tips broken down for ya:

1.) Re-connect.

2.) Be a "yes man".

3.) Join a gym and/or religious organization.

4.) Plan the thing you're hoping to get invited to.

Did any of this message resonate with you? Learn something new? Ready to try out one of these tips for yourself? As always, I'd love to hear all of your thoughts/feedback. Find me on IG at @sarahmalouf__ or send me an email: sarahdmalouf@gmail.com

Katie's love for food was born from a desire to fuel her body while  developing a passion for healthy eating. Her heart’s desire is to  nourish & heal lives with good nutrition that leaves your body &  your taste buds satisfied.

Katie opened the Birdhouse Cafe in 2017 to create an environment where everyone leaves feeling loved, nourished & inspired. The Birdhouse offers a range of power foods from acai bowls and salads to healthy takes on traditional, southern fare. Aside from the owning the Birdhouse, Katie also offers a full service meal prep program, a healthy sweet treats menu, private dining, event catering & cooking classes.

She was also a finalist on Masterchef season 7 & Food Network Star season 14. Since food is fuel for the mind, body and soul in Katie’s eyes, we can’t go without mentioning that she is a certified personal trainer in TRX, gravity & barre. Katie believes that it is possible for anyone to live life to the fullest if you can inspire people to love & nourish their bodies. Her heart is to make people wake up and love the face they greet in the mirror each morning.

Lindsey Bell is the owner and creator behind The Dinner Darling, LLC, a small business specifically designed to help busy people put dinner on the table with two weekly recipe subscriptions.  After years of cooking the same meals, Lindsey realized that she wasn’t the only person having trouble coming up with dinner recipes to feed her growing family each week, and decided to do something about it.

Two years and  over 2,000 subscribers later, Lindsey is busy making easy recipes at home, and helping her growing community of subscribers do the same.

Lindsey lives in Jackson, Mississippi, where she grew up, with her husband, Ryan, two sons (3 and 6) and wild German Shorthaired Pointer.

Lou has a storied business background that started out in fashion, but ended up in technology, and then eventually led him to reinvent the second half of his life and career in the California Wine Country. Lou has been living and working out of Sonoma, California for the past five years, and he has created some unique marketing and direct-to-consumer distribution concepts to help connect artisan winemakers and their vintages to the masses.

What started as Cindy’s secret snack turned into her passion. She was sick of either having to sacrifice her health or flavor when snacking.  She needed an anytime, anywhere snack that gave her long-lasting energy and was actually delicious. It took years of testing, research (and obsessing!) until her secret snack quickly became everyone’s favorite snack.

With a fast-paced career in finance, Supernola went from hobby to full-time mission when Cindy's father was diagnosed with ALS and her purpose became clear. Since then, she's committed her life to creating truly good-for-you food that tastes delicious without compromise.

After all, A-listers are humans too - with real thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. 

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Madeline Kuluz (a fellow pop culture enthusiast and also a wellness stan) and unpack some of the trending stories of today:

-KimYe: What's really going on? Is this power duo back together? Is this all an act?

-Kylie Jenner: Baby on board...? Should we expect a pregnancy announcement from the lip kit queen herself, or will she remain silent?

-Alana Thompson: AKA, "Honey Boo Boo". Alana is all grown up and recreating her image & we are so here for it.

-Adolescents Rising To Fame: How do we feel about the "youths" of today rising to crazy levels of stardom seemingly overnight? Can their fame/wealth be healthy and sustainable?
