I sat down on a sunny afternoon with Ashley Pradhan and Cierra Valor co-founders of In Bold Print. to talk about the role of conscious consumption, business, and their venture in conscious living. We discuss creating a conscious business, intentionality in relationships, embracing discomfort and the unknown, working cyclically, balance, fulfillment, and freedom.
Whether you’re interested in entrepreneurship, business, or not, this conversation offers so much nourishment for us to apply to all aspects of our own journeys as we gather and share our unique experiences and perspectives collected along the way, especially when they are different from our experiences and interests.
IN BOLD PRINT. is a venture-backed startup with a product sustainability scoring platform for brands and retailers, making it easy for us as consumers to normalize conscious consumption as our way of being. (Could RE SELF be more aligned?!)

We announce RE SELF’s FREE Radiant Loving-Kindness Meditation and explore why this practice is so life-changing (01:17). Ashley and Cierra join me and introduce themselves (05:14), taking a moment to discuss boxing and finding movement that resonates with your unique being (06:37). We naturally discuss balancing interests in our lives and how that can look in our relationships (10:57). (Finally) we get to IN BOLD PRINT. (17:48) and conscious consumption (20:20). We highlight the joy of repurposing “waste” and creating a second life for it (26:10) before hearing Cierra’s and Ashley’s journeys to being conscious consumers (34:24). Then Ashley provides us with a framework to begin or evolve our conscious consumption (40:11). We dive into creating a conscious business from the inside out (56:51) through introspection, humanness, and openness; balancing the masculine and feminine in business as fundamental (1:03:25). We end by discussing essential elements of experiencing fulfillment and freedom (1:16:41).
