I have a huge favor to ask you. Can you please help spread the word that being sick is just a part of aging? I’m serious. The idea that we are destined to feel worse over time is keeping so many of us away from our health potential. Now, I’m not saying you need to become superman or superwoman overnight, but I am saying that becoming a lesser version of yourself is NOT just “how life goes.”

Tell me, is this you? At around 20 years old you felt healthy- maybe at an ideal weight, with lots of energy, and confidence in your body? And then you woke up decades later, nearly 40 pounds overweight, tired all the time, and uncomfortable in your own skin?
You’re not alone. According to our guest Dave Sherwin, this is the most common form of weight gain in first world countries.
If this is you, would you rather go on a Diet, or an “Un-Diet?” Yeah… me too. If you’re sick of bouncing from one “guru” or “expert” to the next when it comes to health or weight loss, you’ve found the right place. There is no wagon, and there is no falling off.
In this week’s episode, we discuss with Dave Sherwin the 7 Principles of Health that will get you off the hamster wheel of diets, quick fixes, and self masochism that can often come from “dieting.”
Dave has been helping people get on the health train for most of his life and drops some knowledge bombs when it comes to common sense, and tried-and-true methods of approaching healthy living.
I’ll be marrying Dave’s principles with some KILLER essential oil tips! This is a two-parter extravaganza of tips, inspiration, and most importantly, some Principles worth adopting.

Ladies, this episode is specifically for you. Being a woman is hard sometimes, there are a lot of little moving pieces inside us and the truth is, they don’t always work right.
So, this episode is all about supporting you as a mother, a wife, a woman, and honestly, just a human being.
Samantha Davis, my guest, kicks us off with a recipe for the best bath of your life. I’m serious, her tips had me drooling at the thought of some relaxing alone time wrapped in a warm water hug.
Sam then takes us into a conversation about infertility. As a certified doula, Sam has helped many couples on their fertility journeys. She gets real with us about the two topics that are not often addressed in relation to infertility.
Sam’s words come from a place of understanding as she herself struggled with their second pregnancy. Her approach always seeks to address the underlying issues while using essential oils to support the desired outcomes.
Her perspective is refreshing and full of compassion. Listen now for a double dose of Sam and laugh with us as we try to keep ourselves straight!

If you are like me, then you might have started to think of plants as those little bottles neatly arranged on a shelf. My lavender is purple, eucalyptus is green, and frankincense is pink. How often do you think of the actual plant though? Do you know what peppermint leaves look like? How about geranium?
If you’re struggling to picture them, then you’re not alone. That’s why I sat down with ethnobotanist Kerry Hughes, to help us learn a little more about the plants outside the bottle.
Kerry gives us a sneak peak into her books as she describes some popular plants and their uses beyond essential oils. She also sheds light on why plant medicine is often not the subject of clinical trials despite hundreds of years of use by indigenous peoples.
This episode is power packed and will leave you rethinking your garden for next year. Give it a little now!
