Girl Talk with Tay

In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, I sit down with Bracha Banayan, family nurse practitioner, entrepreneur, and founder of IVDrips and Hello Dose, for one of our most fascinating conversations yet. We dive into the science behind GLP-1 medications, why they're about so much more than weight loss, and how they're changing the conversation around longevity, metabolic health, and healthy aging.Bracha explains how GLP-1s work in the body, why weight gain is often rooted in biology rather than willpower, and how factors like glucose, insulin, inflammation, and hormones all play a role in long-term health. We also discuss who may benefit from GLP-1 medications, including women navigating perimenopause and menopause, adults focused on cardiovascular health, and those looking to improve metabolic wellness.We also get into fertility, blood sugar, continuous glucose monitors, and the surprising ways GLP-1s may help reduce cravings by working on the brain's reward system. Beyond medications, Bracha shares the foundational habits she believes everyone should prioritize first from walking after meals and getting morning sunlight to improving sleep and building sustainable wellness routines.Whether you're curious about GLP-1s, trying to better understand metabolic health, or looking for practical ways to optimize your health for the long run, this episode is packed with insights and actionable takeaways.xo, Tay⸻Follow Bracha Banayan! 🤍Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bracha_banayanHelloDose: https://hellodose.com/IVDrips: https://ivdrips.com/⸻Let’s Connect! 🤍https://taylorlove.comShop Omnilux Red Light Therapy with code TAYLORLOVE: http://omniluxled.com/taylorloveShop LTK (beauty, wellness, home, & styling) - https://www.shopltk.com/explore/taylor_loveeShopMy: https://shopmy.us/shop/taylorlovePersonal IG: https://www.instagram.com/taylor_loveePodcast IG: https://instagram.com/girltalkwithtaypodBeauty Brand IG: https://www.instagram.com/loveebeauty.co Join Taylor’s email list: https://taylorlove.myflodesk.com/subscribeShop Caraway with code TAYLORLOVE: https://carawayhome.com/taylorloveSubscribe to the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@taylorlovepeterson/podcasts

In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, I sit down with Annabel Hay, founder of Clutch Glue, to talk about building one of Shark Tank’s most viral pitches, creating a product from scratch, owning your intellectual property, and raising capital without losing control of your company.Annabel shares the story behind Clutch Glue, which started after a wardrobe malfunction made her realize traditional fashion tape wasn’t designed for sweat, movement, or real life situations. She spent four years developing a liquid fashion adhesive that is sweat resistant, water soluble, hypoallergenic, vegan, and non toxic.We also talk about the early days of building the company, including launching with 5,000 units stored in her parents’ garage and packing orders by hand from her bedroom with the help of friends. Annabel shares how a simple 10 second TikTok showing her fixing a falling spaghetti strap completely changed the trajectory of the business after the video hit 9 million views overnight and sold out the company’s inventory almost immediately.The conversation dives into entrepreneurship, bootstrapping a business, and why owning your IP and patents matters so much when building a long term brand. Annabel explains why founders should avoid shortcuts with formulas they don’t fully own, how patents protect longevity, and why investors care so much about intellectual property ownership.We also discuss raising capital, startup funding, preparing for Shark Tank, protecting equity, choosing the right investors, and why she ultimately turned down a $400,000 investment deal after the show to maintain control of her company. Annabel shares insights on viral marketing, customer loyalty, scaling a product based business, and what it really takes to build a sustainable brand from the ground up.xo, Tay⸻Follow Annabel Hay! 🤍Annabel’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annabel_hay/?hl=enClutch Glue Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clutch_glue/?hl=enWebsite: clutchglue.com⸻Let’s Connect! 🤍https://taylorlove.comShop Omnilux Red Light Therapy with code TAYLORLOVE: http://omniluxled.com/taylorloveShop LTK (beauty, wellness, home, & styling) - https://www.shopltk.com/explore/taylor_loveeShopMy: https://shopmy.us/shop/taylorlovePersonal IG: https://www.instagram.com/taylor_loveePodcast IG: https://instagram.com/girltalkwithtaypodBeauty Brand IG: https://www.instagram.com/loveebeauty.co Join Taylor’s email list: https://taylorlove.myflodesk.com/subscribeShop Caraway with code TAYLORLOVE: https://carawayhome.com/taylorloveSubscribe to the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@taylorlovepeterson/podcasts

This episode is really personal and a little different- a friend is giving me an astrology reading!! In this episode of Girl Talk with Tay, I sit down with astrologer Yael Terramel Weisbach for a deep conversation on astrology, emotional processing, spirituality, and learning how to live in alignment with yourself through different seasons of life. Yael shares her “Planetary Balance Method,” explaining how different planetary energies reflect core parts of who we are, including the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars and how understanding these energies can lead to greater self awareness, fulfillment, and emotional clarity.We also talk about the danger of suppressing emotions in the name of positivity or spirituality, and why avoiding sadness, fear, or discomfort can disconnect us from our intuition and authentic selves. Yael explains the importance of grounded spirituality, emotional honesty, and allowing yourself to fully process difficult emotions instead of constantly trying to “fix” or bypass them.The conversation dives into somatic emotional processing, connecting emotions to the physical body, and practices like Tonglen that help transform pain into healing and compassion. We also discuss life transitions, astrological cycles, burnout, and how understanding your current season of life can help you know when to push forward and when to slow down and rest.Such a thoughtful and eye opening episode on astrology, emotional healing, nervous system awareness, and creating a life that feels more aligned and authentic.xo, Tay⸻Follow Yael Terramel Weisbach! 🤍Website: https://www.yaelastrology.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yael.astrology/Evergreen Free Masterclass: https://www.yaelastrology.com/saboteurLet’s Connect! 🤍https://taylorlove.comShop Omnilux Red Light Therapy with code TAYLORLOVE: http://omniluxled.com/taylorloveShop LTK (beauty, wellness, home, & styling) - https://www.shopltk.com/explore/taylor_loveeShopMy: https://shopmy.us/shop/taylorlovePersonal IG: https://www.instagram.com/taylor_loveePodcast IG: https://instagram.com/girltalkwithtaypodBeauty Brand IG: https://www.instagram.com/loveebeauty.co Join Taylor’s email list: https://taylorlove.myflodesk.com/subscribeShop Caraway with code TAYLORLOVE: https://carawayhome.com/taylorloveSubscribe to the Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@taylorlovepeterson/podcasts
