Meet Sabrina Rudin, founder of Spring Cafe Aspen and author of the new cookbook Healthy With a Side of Happy. Raised in a home where food came first, Sabrina grew up with a deep understanding of natural foods, nourishment, and the connection between what we eat and how we feel.

In this episode, Sabrina chats with Elizabeth about her early exposure to holistic living, how a season teaching snowboarding in Aspen eventually led her to open Spring Cafe, and what it has taken to build a restaurant that has become a beloved community staple. She also shares the story behind her cookbook, why she believes healthy food should feel abundant and joyful, and how staying connected to your why can open doors you never expected.

Meet Hayley and Stephanie Painter, the dynamic sister duo behind Painterland Sisters, an organic Skyr yogurt brand that’s bringing transparency, nutrition, and real farm flavor to shelves across the country. Raised on their family’s fourth-generation regenerative dairy farm in Northern Pennsylvania, Hayley and Stephanie launched their brand with a bold vision: to connect consumers directly with American farmers while offering a nutrient-dense product that tastes as good as it does good. In this episode, they chat with Elizabeth about how growing up barefoot on the farm shaped their values, why regenerative farming is the future of food, and how they went from hand-labeling yogurt in their 20s to selling over 6 million units. You’ll also hear how they balance sisterhood and business, why they refuse to follow food trends, and what’s next for this mission-driven brand. **This episode was published in April 2025.**

This week, Elizabeth sits down with Camilla Marcus, chef, entrepreneur, activist, author, and mom for a conversation about food, leadership, and what it really means to build a life rooted in joy and intention. Drawing from her California roots and deep connection to hospitality, Camilla shares how food became one of her earliest ways of understanding people, culture, and care, and how that perspective eventually shaped everything from her restaurant career to founding west~bourne.

They chat about what regenerative agriculture actually means, why it matters for both personal wellness and the future of our food system, and why the most powerful changes often start with small, everyday choices. Camilla explains why flavor is non-negotiable, how soil health impacts nutrient density, and why supporting regenerative farmers is one of the most meaningful things we can do for the planet and our bodies. She also opens up about building a business through the lens of hospitality, checking your ego at the door, and learning to gear your life toward what brings real energy and joy. Camilla also teases a few favorite new recipes from her new cookbook, My Regenerative Kitchen!
