Welcome! We’re Lauren Massarella and Michelle Anderson founders and CEOs of the cozy wellness platform and lifestyle brand, The Sister Project. We’re also the producers and hosts of the popular leisure podcast, Cozy Conversations with The Sister Project®.
As modern women and moms navigating the chaos of everyday life, we know all too well what being overly busy can do to the mind and body. Spoiler alert: it’s neither sustainable nor healthy. Burnout is real, and jam-packed schedules are soul-sucking.
Not to mention that we are all caregivers to someone or something. We know first hand, as we gave care to our mom who suffered and died from a rare form of dementia called FTD. Having gone through this experience taught us the need to slow down and embrace the simplest of joys life has to offer.
The Sister Project was born out of this wisdom and why we wholeheartedly believe in a little less “go go go” and a lot more “no no no.”
Our mission at The Sister Project is to inspire everyone to slow down, care less, and do nothing. Because when you do, it’s easier to seek out the little things that make a day better - like a perfectly brewed cup of coffee or a walk and talk in the woods with a good friend.
It’s time you prioritize yourself because the truth is - you can’t pour from an empty cup. Worry not, we’re here to inspire you via Cozy Conversations with The Sister Project®.
Our podcast is a delightful mix of info-tainment, born from our desire for more meaningful and fulfilling conversations. We love sharing snippets of our lives, what we’re reading, watching, and listening to, and even some news we think you should know (because we’re just thoughtful like that).
Every episode is a cozy, mindful, and well-being-filled journey, sprinkled with humor, honesty, and a dash of inspiration. Think of it as your weekly dose of comfort and camaraderie. Trust us, you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wonder how you ever survived without us.
We look forward to becoming fast weird internet friends with you!
Stay cozy.
Xo,
Lauren + Michelle
