WELL / AWARE SHOW 003 | Alden Wicker of Ecocult
Summary: <a href="http://www.well-aware.co/wp-content/uploads/alden-bench-720.jpg"></a><br> <a href="http://ecocult.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ecocult</a> is one of the best resources out there for urbanites and cool kids interested in living a more conscious life without sacrificing personal style or fun. I interviewed Alden Wicker, the Founder and Editor-in-Chief, in the latest episode of the WELL / AWARE SHOW, to get a peek inside what her life as an eco-conscious blogger and living, breathing freelance writer (side note: she is also kind of a <a href="http://www.underthesound.co" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrity</a> in Brooklyn’s underground music scene) is like.<br> Alden and I share similar values: we both want to live as sustainably and consciously as possible. We both have a hippie dippy background — hers certainly stronger than mine — and are looking to make conscious living modern, accessible and desirable for someone who isn’t willing to sacrifice style for substance. We get it! It’s hard, but we’re here to translate it for you.<br><br> <br> <a href="http://www.well-aware.co/wp-content/uploads/alden-wicker-bikes.jpg"></a><br> Alden’s sustainable apartment renovation – obsessed with her bikes-as-decor in the <a href="http://ecocult.com/2014/sustainable-apartment-renovation-before-and-after-the-bedroom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bedroom</a>.<br> <a href="http://www.well-aware.co/wp-content/uploads/alden-headshot-720.jpg"></a><br> This episode really touches on two topics, conscious consumption and how to make it as a freelance writer and blogger. It’ll be really helpful for anyone looking to start or grow their blog, and for those who are curious about conscious consumption, especially discerning style mavens who want an affirmation that it’s really not impossible or crunchy hippie dippy. This episodes isn’t as wellness-oriented as previous ones, but trust me, it’s layered with such excellent nuggets of advice and information that you’ll walk away having learned a little something about a conscious lifestyle.<br> SHOW NOTES<br> <a href="http://thenotepasser.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Notepasser</a><br> <a href="http://citizensmark.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Citizen’s Mark</a><br> <a href="http://www.integralyoganaturalfoods.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Integral Yoga</a> / West Village<br> <a href="http://ecocult.com/shop/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ecocult Shopping Guide</a><br> <a href="http://www.well-aware.co/tidying-with-the-konmari-method/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up and the KonMari Method</a><br> <a href="http://wellandgood.com/?s=lisa+elaine+held" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Well & Good / Lisa Elaine Held</a><br> <a href="http://www.fastcoexist.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coexist</a><br> <a href="http://www.yesmagazine.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YES Magazine</a><br> <a href="http://www.ethicalwriters.co" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethical Writers Co.</a><br> <a href="http://www.underthesound.co" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Under the Sound</a><br> <a href="https://www.thereformation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reformation</a><br> <a href="http://zady.com/referrals/EAKICC4J" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zady</a><br> <a href="http://www.shopethica.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethica</a><br> <a href="http://kaightshop.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kaight Shop</a><br> <a href="http://www.amourvert.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amour Vert</a><br> <a href="http://tempestbentley.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tempest & Bentley</a><br>
