Inspired Grownups with Alana Banana
I'm Alana Gentry, aka Alana Banana (children’s music artist & content creator for The Alana Banana Show). I love hanging out with kids but I also really love connecting with you, the Grownups.
We all want the best for our kids and so much of that starts with how we treat ourselves. When we give ourselves permission to find and do the things we love each day, even if it's for a short amount of time, we feel better. When we feel better that influences those around us, especially the little one's in our lives.
With my short solo episodes or conversations with other grownups, I hope to give you a boost of inspiration for your day, a new perspective and a reminder that we can create anything we want in our lives for ourselves and for our family.

Creating a Business & Allowing More Magic In with Gina Zupsich
Today I'm talking with co-founder of August Uncommon Tea, Gina Zupsich. This conversation is more than a discussion around tea, we talk about travel, being open to the magic of life, how great things can happen after misfortune, staring a new business and allowing things to come to you. Whether you're a tea drinker or not, you'll be inspired by this conversation.
Gina Zupsich leads culinary development and brand voice at August. She has always favored her senses of smell and taste. Her nomadic childhood allowed her to explore scent and flavor across the American landscape. Her first visit to France at age 16 was a culinary and cultural revelation which led her to earn an MA in French Cultural Studies from Columbia University and a PhD in French Literature from UC Berkeley.
During her research in France, she alternated long hours at the library with adventures in fashion, perfume and food. In 2013 the lure of a more sensuous life led her to leave academia to co-found August Uncommon Tea, in which her fantasy of becoming a chef, perfumer, chemist, and novelist collide. She spends her free time writing poetry, comedy bits and gardening. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband/business partner, their daughter and their dog.
