Episode 69: Aligning With The Real YOU + Using Criticism As Fuel With Amanda Chantal Bacon of Moon Juice
Today’s guest is Amanda Chantal Bacon of Moon Juice. I’ll have to say that this is one of my favorite interviews of the season – because of a big piece of advice that Amanda gave. I almost cancelled therapy for the week because of it. It resonated with me that much.
Amanda and I discuss how her wellness journey began with an intervention at a grocery store as a child, how (as an introvert) she’s able to recharge with her busy schedule, why she actually believes triggering negative criticism can be a good thing, and how we all have our own superpower within us.
Here’s Amanda:

December 1, 2016She really is an inspiration. Lucky you for being able to do all these interviews. I would love to meet this woman! I dig her style. Though she has us question what we spend out money on, here I am thinking, I want some of her wardrobe-even though I am the morning mediation, herb taking fanatic, lol.

December 2, 2016This resonated sooo much with me! Yesterday I had to take my two year old son to the gastroenterologist for constipation. He was given a very special diet which doesn’t include any junk food, white bread or pasta, only specific fruits and vegetables. I love how both she and you have recipes for treats and food using whole foods. It makes this journey much less lonely knowing that there are other people out their on the same journey.

December 6, 2016I love the portion at the end about examining (and perhaps reevaluating) your priorities. In particular, Amanda’s nail/beauty regimen example really resonates. I only wear makeup or get my nails done for special occasions, and I’m lucky to have curly hair which only needs a slight trim about once a year. On the flip side, I spend what some people would find preposterous on high-quality coffee/juices/protein powders/groceries in general, and I do it because it’s what I feel is best for me in the long run. If you think $10 is too much to spend on a smoothie or juice, that’s fine, but I wish we (and this includes people I am friends with and respect greatly) could stop judging the priorities of others. I know that’s an insanely overarching ask, but I don’t think it’s crazy.
ps-I had to google the “controversy” over Amanda’s diet that you referenced, and it just makes me sick that people can be so cruel and stupid. While I appreciate her graceful acceptance of the situation, I think an appropriate response would be to ask one of the haters to list everything she/he ate in a day, by ingredient. Meaning, if you ate a bag of Doritos, how many unpronounceable food-like substances would you have to list, just for one snack? By day’s end that food diary would read like a Chemistry textbook index. Just a thought 🙂
