A Side of Syrup Podcast - EP019: Lessons in Elevated Living with Meghan Donovan

Rule #1: Be Kind To Everyone

If I had to live out anyone’s personal and professional playbook, it would be Meghan Donovan’s. She believes in herself, her joy, and making the most memorable life possible, that it’s no wonder she’s living the life most of us dream of. Which includes living in France this entire month!

Meghan is kind above all else. She’s spent years making the hard work seem easy and letting us into her world one croissant at a time. Her grit and determination have gotten her to actually be living her dreams. But it’s her kindness that keeps us all rooting for her.

In this episode Meghan shares how she built her brand and businesses. Meghan also dives into her wellness routine — from a mutual favorite product to her tips on sunscreen after her skin cancer diagnosis.

This episode is a real treat (in more ways than one!) Meghan is a delight to know, learn from, and follow on all socials.

A Side of Syrup Podcast - Season 2! - EP014: Finding Energy & Wellness Wherever Life Takes You with Angie Aldape

Introducing our first episode of Season 2

My first job in LA led me to meet Angie. She was herself right from the get go: organized, responsible, and with a beaming smile of sunshine. She immediately put me in her tight circle of friends and in 15 years, hasn’t let me go. For that, I’m incredibly thankful.

While we have many shared interests - traveling, good food & wine, fitness - we’ve each found ways to incorporate wellness into our lives in a way that works just for us, at whatever stage of season of life we’re in.

In this episode, Angie, a Microsoft executive, dives into what works for her and how she keeps healthy and avoids burnout. Angie also has great tips for what to pack while traveling (and well, maybe have an awkward run-in or two with TSA) and how to sleep well.
