Season 10 Kick-off and Favorites with Katie & MacKenzie
September 5, 2024·46 min
Mackenzie Coppa (season 10 premiere of Live Well Anyway) opens with gratitude for listeners and excitement about upcoming content (wellness experts, Sophie Hudson, Hannah Brencher, digital clutter specialist). She asks listeners to share the show and support via Substack. With best friend Katie, she discusses back-to-school reality and major life transitions. Mackenzie is approaching seven years of single parenting (acknowledged as 'pretty big victory'). Roman is a high school senior with dyslexia, big creative ambitions, and logistical struggles. He's pursuing prestigious film schools (dream school + backups) but faces challenges: no campus visits possible, portfolio requirements differ per school, $80K+ costs without housing in NYC/LA, plus he struggles with application logistics while mom manages English and consumer math. Katie has equally complex situation: two in college, one in high school, one in elementary, Ben doing hockey + dual community college enrollment. The episode shifts to practical: back-to-school wellness favorites. Mackenzie discusses immunity support (Armora colostrum, Patch Aid vitamin patches, zinc spray), functional supplements (EveryDay Dose coffee, MindBody Green fiber/creatine/collagen), and Unison sleep aid. Katie tested Armora colostrum and reports unexpected benefit—her 68-year-old dad grew chest hair for first time. Both strongly endorse Primally Pure deodorant as only natural option that actually works.
