Have you ever gone to pick up an oil just because your gut told you to? You’re not sure why that oil is calling to you, but it just feels right? That’s your intuition, and I’m recommending we all start to trust it way more! The next time you’re feeling drawn to an oil, commit to using it, then look that oil up. I bet you more often than not that the description of that oil and its common uses and purpose are exactly what you needed in that moment. Our guest this week, Mallory Leone explains how useful our oils can be for bridging that gap between the Spirit World and the Earth World, and it often starts with intuition. This week we do a deep dive into Mallory’s 5 favorite oils: Blue Tansy, Lemon/Lime, Rosemary, Rose, and Peppermint. We dig up some real gold!

How did we get here? To the dopamine era? Doesn’t it seem like as time goes on, our society relies on dopamine more and more? Our guest this week, Dr. Susan Peirce so smartly points out that dopamine is not the molecule of pleasure, it’s the molecule of MORE. When you’re hooked, you’re using substance just to feel okay. And this substance is everything from your Starbucks habit, to smart phones, tv, and cigarettes. Today we focus on a very common addiction: food addiction. At Dr. Peirce’s company Bright Line Eating, they use cognitive development research to help people lose weight permanently. Food addiction is manageable, and we bring you essential oil tips, and other knowledge to help you get on the right path with it.

We live in a culture that has a lack of self care. Luckily, this is starting to change, but a lot of us grew up in a time where “self care” was not a part of the common vernacular. Until now, people weren’t opening up about depression and suicidal idiation, but it’s all too common to feel this way. This can come from trauma such as sexual violence. Our guest Alex of Radical Well Beings opens up about the contributing factors to their depression. We dive into the science behind these amazing oils, and how they can help create a radical shift in your well-being. For me, the use of essential oils is a science and an art, and I want you to feel confident in finding your way with them.

Kill them all! When it comes to oral health, outdated technology and science has convinced us that our goal is to KILL THEM ALL! Or at least 99.99% right? I’m talking about bacteria. We all grew up with ads and products targeted towards annihilating bacteria. But honestly, that science is so outdated. Sterilization has become a way of handling our health, which is a very western way of thinking, and quite intense. We are conditioned to be terrified of bacteria, fungus, etc. But you are walking bacteria! There are so many wonderful solutions to oral health that aren’t over-kill. There are products, ingredients (like essential oils), aloe vera, and more that can up your oral health game to a much higher level. I sit down with CBO of the much loved oral-care brand Lumineux, Caroline Duggan, to discuss all things oral health. She may just blow your mind!

When it comes to using essential oils during pregnancy or with children, I often give the same advice: it’s a personal choice. Personally, there were few oils I avoided during pregnancy, and for the most part, the idea that it’s dangerous to use EOs while pregnant is a little nutty to me. But at the end of the day, it’s a personal choice. It comes down to learning to trust your body; trust your senses, trust your child, and get familiar with the oils that are up for debate. Jade and I are back to end our series with our thoughts and advice on this very controversial topic!

Did you know that pennyroyal oil is a common essential oil that is found in many flea medications? I didn’t either until speaking again with our True/False queen Jade Shutes. This is a problem, because pennyroyal oil can be deadly to cats. There are definitely some oils you want to keep away from your fluffy friends. But no need to throw them out entirely! In fact, some essential oils can be a fabulous benefit to your cat’s life. They’ve got 9 lives, but we’re not gonna let you knock that down to 8 by not understanding safe oil use around felines.

I’m sure you’ve heard it before; I do all the time. “Oh my gosh! You’re not diluting that oil!?” Well… yes! Sometimes I do not dilute essential oils.

What do you think about when you hear the word “Witch?” The days of persecution and nay-saying magical women are over! In fact, the term “witch” has been misused for centuries. Barbara Ehrenreigh says it best in her book Witches, Midwives,and Nurses: A History of Women Healers: “Women have always been healers. They were the unlicensed doctors and anatomists. They were abortionists, nurses and counselors. They were the pharmacists, cultivating healing herbs, and exchanging the secrets of their uses. They were midwives, traveling from home to home and village to village. For centuries women were doctors without degrees, barred from books and lectures, learning from each other, and passing on experience from neighbor to neighbor and mother to daughter. They were called “wise women” by the people, witches or charlatans by the authorities. Medicine is part of our heritage as women, our history, our birthright.” We talk about this and more with Crystal Moon on this week’s episode full of Magick!

This week’s episode makes me think about opposites: the duality that exists in every aspect of our world. Live vs death. Good vs evil. Health vs sickness. Love vs hate. Quality vs crap. Since in this episode, we dive into the world of sex trafficking, I want you to keep in mind one duality: hope vs despiar. It’s easy to choose despair. But nothing is insurmountable. You are the one that can choose hope over despair. I ask you to hold onto hope when being reminded of the harsh reality of current-day slavery.

I’m embracing BAD SMELLS this year! Yes! And here’s why I want you to join me on this new endeavor. Don’t you sometimes find yourself stuck in a rut with your oils? Using the same staples over and over again? Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint. I’m not even sure I could live without them. But sometimes I wanna shake it up a bit, and try something new. There’s so many benefits to oils that I’m probably missing because I just keep going to the same ones. How about trying the “WORST” smelling oils??? Sometimes the benefits of certain oils can outweigh the “pain” of dealing with a not-so-desired aroma. This week Laura Ascher and I bring you tips and tricks for getting these special and beneficial oils into your system, and why they are so worth it.

We did it! We made it to a milestone I didn’t fathom possible in 2015 when I started on this journey. It’s my absolute pleasure to be sharing with you all about my favorite oils, what it means to be a podcaster, what I’ve learned about EOs all these years of asking questions, and why I love my twin sister so much (....she’s interviewing me this week, and yes she sounds just like me).

When talking about essential oil we often focus on the value they can bring to our own self-car, but what about their power to help others? The first thing you may think of when you hear the words “refugee” and “foster kid” may not be essential oils, but stop and think about it for a moment; so many of these children are forced from their homes because of war, or threat of death, causing tremendous trauma. Don’t we use our oils to deal with our own trauma all the time? Maybe it’s time to pay it forward. Our guest Mamie Amin works closely with both refugee and foster child systems and shares first hand how she uses oils to give back.

Wouldn’t you love it if your chiropractor could not only get in there and crack your back just the way you like it, but could also set you on a path towards the most phenomenal inner and outer health imaginable? Not to make her blush, but that’s pretty much what we discovered with Doctor Debbie Kucharski (a.k.a Dr. Deb). I honestly don’t even know if I can put into words just how much I loved our talk. Dr. Deb brought me back to life with her incredible knowledge and passion for what these amazing essential oils can do for our mental, physical, and spiritual health. And I LOVED our talk especially about the pineal gland- it’s magic!

Our talk reminded me of my insistence on getting to know your oils like they’re your friends. It’s as Debbie reminds us: “Talk to the earth and it will teach you.”

When you’re filling up your car at the station, and some gas spills out onto the ground, do you ever stop and think, “oh great! I didn’t have enough mousse in my hair today,” and then bend down to scoop up the gas and slather it into your hair? Oh you don’t?!
