My newest podcast guest is Mary Horsman from Tough Stuff Recycling.

Did you know millions of mattresses end up in landfills every year? Tough Stuff Recycling is working to change that by breaking down mattresses and box springs into reusable materials that can be repurposed instead of wasted.

Mary explains:
🛏️ How the recycling process works
♻️ What materials can be recovered
🏢 Commercial and residential recycling options
🌱 The environmental benefits of responsible disposal

A heartfelt thank you to Brittany Knowles and Anthony Knowles for the introduction!

This is an inspiring conversation about innovation, sustainability, and protecting our planet one mattress at a time.

Yoga and Meditation Instruction Five Decades In: Highlights of a recent interview with Yoga Anita

• Yoga gave me something nothing else could
• Yoga is accessible, not exclusive
• Yoga works in the boardroom too
• I'm here to make wellness fit real life
• Real wisdom comes from experience

This episode features an experienced yoga and meditation instructor reflecting on nearly fifty years in the field. The conversation explores what initially attracted them to these practices, how public perceptions and misunderstandings have changed or persisted, and the nuances of teaching yoga in a variety of settings, from corporate boardrooms to schools and studios. Additional discussion covers how various professional outlets—books, podcasts, radio shows, and classes—come together to serve a unified purpose. The instructor also considers the lessons that only decades of dedication, not certifications, bring. Listeners will gain grounded insights into the realities and lifelong process of yoga and meditation, teaching approaches in diverse environments, and the deeper learnings that emerge from such sustained commitment.

🎶 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🎶

This week on Healthy Living with Yoga Anita, I’m joined by talented musician Jared Moore. Growing up in a musical family, Jared was inspired by watching and listening to his mom, Heidi Jo Hansen, lead the local band Moonstruck throughout the Gardner/Central MA music scene.

Today, Jared is a full-time gig musician performing crowd-favorite covers while also writing and recording his own original music. During the show, Jared performed his first recorded single, “Siren Song,” released in 2021 during Covid, and gave listeners an exclusive premiere of a brand-new song that will appear on his upcoming album planned for release this October! 🎸🎤

What happens when everyday exhaustion turns into something life-changing?

This week on Healthy Living with Yoga Anita, I sit down with Marya Fonsh Mielinski, a dedicated teacher at Priest Street School in Leominster, who shares her powerful journey after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

Marya opens up about:
💬 The early signs—extreme fatigue, brain fog, and pain
💬 Facing her biggest fear: falling
💬 How MS affects the body’s myelin
💬 Finding strength through community

After not feeling ready her first year, Marya came back stronger—raising $10,000 in 2025 and already $12,000 this year for the Walk MS Worcester 🙌

She’ll even be honored before the walk on May 2, 2026—a true testament to resilience, courage, and community support (including a generous boost from Susan’s Nails 💅).

This is a story of perseverance, gratitude, and what’s possible when people come together.
