April 12, 2024 19:41 - 29 minutes - 20.2 MBCan you imagine floating every weekend in the Dead Sea? Meet Serina, co-founder of The Dead Sea Company. That is how she spent her childhood and now, together with her sister and brother, they've created a skin care line based around their "hero ingredient" the Dead Sea mud. We talk about giving yourself little breaks to reset throughout your week and how a 5 minute skincare routine can feel luxurious, not like a chore.

I'll Never Forget That One Spring Break
March 28, 2024 00:07 - 12 minutes - 8.87 MBWhat do you think about my dad's comment? Do you ask for help? Do you do it all yourself?

How much time do I need to spend with these people?
March 21, 2024 21:20 - 15 minutes - 10.7 MBHave you thought of this before (re: your kids)? "How much time do I need to spend with these people?" You may be surprised by the answer. I've completed a course by the Language of Listening—it's based in positive psychology and play therapy. In this episode, I share one of the skills I'm about to put into practice.

This Tequila Tasting Ended Up Being...
March 06, 2024 09:44 - 14 minutes - 9.82 MBI went to a tequila tasting. It was comical and lackluster and a good example of what NOT to do in your business. My friend who joined me was weeks away from the grand opening of her business. The way this event unfolded shined a spotlight on how she wants to conduct herself and how she wants her clients to feel, in her space. This is valuable intel; and it was gained in an unusual way! Also in the episode, I mention the MyFLo app. I have been using this app for many years—it's so muc...
Nasha Vida Finally Follows the "Frivolous" Path
February 28, 2024 10:55 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MBIn this week's episode, we are going inside Vida Voyager—a new local boutique with colorful, Scandinavian vibes.

Not on the Other Side
February 23, 2024 10:55 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MBEver feel like you just can't get it together? Me too. There's a deep root to that. You might be in fight, flight, fawn or freeze mode. What I've come to see now, is that I was in what is called the freeze state. I went through a year long divorce (while living together) and couldn't get it together to show up, authentically, to continue hosting this podcast that I enjoy so much. It's been over 6 months since then. During that time, I intentionally put a pause on ac...
Are You Due for a Girls' Weekend?
July 13, 2022 18:00 - 14 minutes - 9.9 MBI took a weekend trip with my girlfriends. It's been 22 years since the 4 of us have been on a vacation together. (That was our high school spring break in Acapulco!) A picture was taken of me sea shelling. (I'm turning that into a verb.) It's proof that whatever you liked as a kid, you'll probably still enjoy as an adult. What did you enjoy as a kid? The quote for this episode is extra special. While on my flight, my friend texted me a FB post—it was a note left from a friend who die...
My Retreat in Amorgos, Greece
June 16, 2022 14:20 - 19 minutes - 13.1 MBI'm back from my Greece immersion! We can call it a wellness retreat, spa camp or, relevant to the topic of this podcast—the ultimate solo date. Going on this trip was a big deal for me. I was travelling by myself, internationally, meeting up with people I didn't know, on an island I've never been to for 10 days. My motivators were fun, relaxation, beauty and exploration. The experience proved once again, that it's ok to say 'yes' to yourself...to do the thing that gives you excitement...

"Gua sha has been proven to help relieve tension in the face, reduce puffiness and inflammation, and it can even help reduce sinus pressure."

Who Are The People You Enjoy Talking To? + FB Marketplace Scam!
April 27, 2022 16:50 - 14 minutes - 9.9 MBPlaying hooky today. Well, not really...but in my old mindset, taking this time, during a weekday, for nourishing conversations...I would have viewed this as frivolous. But now, I make it a point to schedule in warm conversations with people whom I really enjoy talking to. And gasp! It isn't only after the kids go to bed. Also, listen to my PSA about the scam I found myself in through Facebook Marketplace. Sellers beware! What is a Closet Detox Session? https://www.lenaporter.com/s...
What Is Your Life Lesson #? (This Is How to Find It)
April 20, 2022 17:15 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MBDo you see repeating numbers? 333, 444, 11:11 etc, on your microwave, a building's address, the back of a car...I do! That's what propelled my interest in a 2 hour online numerology class. Wanna figure out what is your Life Lesson #? (or that of your kids' or your partners'?)

I Went on Facebook After a 10 Year Hiatus. Here's What Happened.
April 13, 2022 09:55 - 19 minutes - 13.5 MBI realize checking a social media account doesn't sound like much of a me-time activity. But since I hadn't been on Facebook in 10 years, it was a bite-the-bullet, what's-this-going-to-be-like activity, that I both was looking forward to and a little intimidated by. The interactions I had were funny and odd. Listen in to hear the details and to be reminded that certain mindsets around productivity are toxic for you.

Why A Waterless Pedicure Is Better
March 23, 2022 08:44 - 17 minutes - 12 MB"A pedicure is not self-care." I heard this on my phone as I was cleaning up breakfast, just before recording this episode. Nice timing! I agree and disagree with that statement. You know I am a sucker for body works/spa treatments and I do think these are forms of self-care; they're the obvious or surface-level ways of taking time for yourself. Another way of showing yourself this care is reflection—thinking about the people you are interacting with, the environments you spend time...

I Discovered Lip Oil: Moisturizing, Glossy & Just the Right Amount of Color
March 02, 2022 10:55 - 17 minutes - 11.7 MBWhile I was lying on the floor, meditating, my three year old proceeded to put her pink kid lipstick on me—several coats. It got me thinking that I'd like a new lipstick. Something with a punch of color (not neutral-ish like my others). It had to be "clean beauty," have a moisturizing feel, and I wanted to be able to try it on before buying, not simply order it online. I embarked on the adventures of lipstick buying! I choose a lip oil that I'm very happy with. I've never heard of a lip oi...
The Painting That Caught My Eye (+ a new pair of jeans)
February 23, 2022 10:55 - 28 minutes - 19.8 MBI felt drawn to this painting—I just had to have it. The frame was chipped and other people were circling it.

Have a listen to hear how I stumbled upon this. Also, in this episode...I found an everyday pair of straight-leg jeans. Do you want to transition out of skinny jeans?
