Active Ingredient PodcastAuthor: Sophie Weill
Welcome to Active Ingredient - a podcast and platform for those of us who are in the process of co-creating lives and businesses that feel rooted, expansive, resonant and true to us. I'm your host, Sophie Weill, and I'm a deeply curious human who is also on my own journey of co-creating a life and businesses that are true to me. I'm the founder of Nude Nation, a creative brand building agency as well as the co-founder of Piano Piano, a tableware brand rooted in slowing down and coming alive. I've spent my entire career building and amplifying brands and the humans behind them and what I have come to understand is that the inner work precedes the outer growth and that everything in life is a mirror of our internal state which is precisely what we're here to connect on. Welcome to Active Ingredient - I am so glad you're here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Protecting Creativity, Visibility Fears & Building With Integrity With Tonya Papanikolov
Tuesday, 12 May, 2026
I'm joined by Tonya Papanikolov, founder of Rainbo, for a conversation on visibility, creativity, slowing down, building with integrity, and learning to trust yourself through every season of growth. We talk about the fear of being seen, what happens when life calls you inward, the tension between freedom and responsibility, feminine vs. masculine energy in business, aging, beauty, Human Design, and how to know when to stay the course vs. pivot. This felt less like an interview and more like two projectors having a very honest conversation about what it means to build a life and business that actually feels true.Active Ingredient listeners can get 15% off Rainbo with code ACTIVE.
