1. Yoga, Oils, and Managing the "Busy-ness Epidemic" with Chelsea Brand

In this episode I sit down with my close friend, Chelsea Brand to discuss why yoga is an important piece of the holistic journey, how essential oils can support overall wellness, and a few questions to ask when prioritizing the obligations of everyday life. Chelsea gives some great advice for how she got started in yoga, what it means to her, and how to take the practice off the mat. I especially love her description of shavasana as a “ferocious rainbow” and how that experience shifted her sense of self and navigation of life. And, yes, we touched on meditation too.

Chelsea also discusses her first experience with essential oils; a powerful healing that took place when she used them on her dog. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to essential oil uses and definitely shared that wisdom in our discussion. So, if you’re oil-curious this episode may just give you the information you’ve been looking for.

Finally, Chelsea and I discuss the busy-ness epidemic that seems to be plaguing so many these days. She offers some good suggestions about how to prioritize what’s really important to you (a practice we take very seriously here at Contradiction Queen) as well as her personal strategies for tapping in to the happy life. I truly think you’ll love hearing my sweet friend as she shares her heart with each of you.
