      <title>The Teacher: Suze Yalof Schwartz on Meditation and Lifelong Learning in Santa Monica</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Suze Yalof Schwartz, founder of Unplug, a meditation app available globally and a heavenly studio space in Santa Monica, CA. Suze has taught thousands of people around the world how to slow down, be still, and turn inward using a tool we all have at our disposal – our minds. </p><p>Once a self-described “C and D student,” Suze discovered a deep love of learning in college — one she’s kept developing throughout her life. She first became known for teaching people <i>what to wear</i> as a makeover guru at Glamour, Vogue, and Marie Claire, and now she helps people discover <i>who they are</i> through meditation.</p><p>In this conversation, Suze reflects on her childhood in New Jersey, working in Manhattan, her mid-life move to Los Angeles, and how she’s redefining what home means after losing her house in the Palisades Fire. Meditation, she says, has been the anchor through every transition — a practice that’s helped her build resilience, presence, and a positive outlook during life’s most difficult moments.</p><ul><li><a href="https://swisswaterskiresort.com/">Swiss Water Ski School</a></li><li><a href="https://www.simmons.edu/">Simmons University</a></li><li><a href="https://www.unplug.com/class-schedule">Unplug Studio</a></li><li><a href="https://www.unplug.com/online-classes">Unplug App</a></li><li><a href="https://www.unplug.com/special-events-1/teacher-training">Unplug Meditation Teacher Training</a></li><li><a href="https://www.limitlessbook.com/">Limitless by Jim Kwik</a></li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=arete+book&ref=nb_sb_noss">Arete by Brian Johnson</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palisades_Fire">Palisades Fire</a></li></ul><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

      <title>The Designer: Kelley Moueix on American Handbags and Home in Bordeaux</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>From the Michigan lakes and Connecticut shorelines to the vineyards of Bordeaux, Kelley Moueix’s journey has been shaped by her unwavering curiosity and creativity. In this episode of Homeplace, Kelley talks about how her early interest in art and fashion led to a career in luxury beauty in New York and later Paris, where love pulled her to her current home in Southwestern France. She reflects on what she learned from each transition (or “changement d'air” as they say in French) and how she recreated her version of home every time she landed someplace new. Kelley shares some hilarious stories of her early days in Europe and how she traded a fast-paced career at L’Oréal for a new chapter as a wife, mother, hostess with the mostest, and founder of Maison Marrain, her line of beautifully designed handbags. Together, Anna and Kelley explore the importance of play as well as the rituals, relationships, and creative expressions that carry us through life.

      <title>The Distiller: Colin Spoelman on Childhood in Kentucky and Bourbon in Brooklyn</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Homeplace, host Anna Richardson White talks with Colin Spoelman, master distiller, writer, and co-founder of Kings County Distillery. Having grown up in Harlan, Kentucky, Colin reflects on his Appalachian roots, the small-town experiences that shaped him, and how leaving home deepened his connection to it. He shares how whiskey, film, and storytelling became ways of preserving and sharing the spirit of Eastern Kentucky with the world. All the while, trying to maintain and shape his own home with his family as they live between Los Angeles and New York.
