Welcome to Live Well Anyway.

I'm your host, Mackenzie Kappa, formerly of Cultivating the Lovely, and on this podcast, we focus on wellness, beauty, style, planning, and life.

I feature both a fun mix of guests who I've invited, as well as some hopefully helpful

and humorous solo shows centered on things I've learned in my own life.

And today, you guys, I have a guest I've been wanting to get on the show for quite a while.

She is a hoot on Instagram.

She's a savvy business lady, and she's really good at building community.

It is the one and only Jamie Nato. We talk about so many fun things in this episode. I mean,

we really hit the gamut of stuff. Everything from Nerf wars in her neighborhood to parenting

teens well to figuring out things about your own personal wellness and how to heal your body and be an advocate for your own health. It was such a fun discussion, and I cannot wait for you to listen to it. But before we get there, I just have a couple of things that I want to ask you about. Okay? First of all, if you haven't gone over, checked out Patreon, get a little bit of extra content every week, you're going to want to do it because it's just such a fun community.

I mean, talk about amazing ladies who are so much fun. We have lives, we have all kinds of stuff. Just go to patreon.com slash live well anyway. Check it out. You're not going to be sorry. But also you guys, the one big thing that I want to ask you about this week is, have you headed over and found me on YouTube yet? That's right. My YouTube channel is

live. I am putting out new videos every single week. This week, I released one all about my bedroom

and how I've been decorating it and figuring out my style and all of that. I really hope that you like these episodes and I would love for you to head over there, subscribe to my YouTube channel, check them out, tell your friends about them, share them on social. It would just mean so much to me. And I would love to hear your feedback. What do you want to see over there? What would be helpful to you? Let me know. Because I think

it's going to be a really fun new platform for me to be able to deliver content to you guys, the

stuff that you are actually looking for. One last quick little thing before we start this episode is

I do want to forewarn you that we did have a little bit of connectivity issues. And so for

about the last half of the show, there are some spots where Jamie kind of cuts out.

But I think she's dynamic enough and talking about things enough in the broad scope of everything

that's happening in the conversation that you will be able to piece together what she is saying.

I am so sorry for those gaps, but I think you'll be able to follow along. Kiel did her very best to be able to clean it up, but sometimes technology

just doesn't work for us. So I hope even with that, you really enjoy this episode. But without

further ado, let's dive into the super fun episode with the one and only Jamie Nato.
