Breaking the Stress Cycle and Using Essential Oils to Combat Stress with Holly Brandenberger

How are you dealing with your daily emotional and physical stress? As women and moms, we don't always go inward to take care of ourselves when we feel stressed. Maybe we feel like we don’t have the capacity to or maybe we’ve normalized being over-stressed or not dealing with our stress at all.  That’s why it’s so important to carve out time to slow down, pay attention to what your body needs, and find healthy coping strategies so you aren’t inviting unnecessary stress into your life.  In today’s episode, I am talking with Holly Brandenberger, nurse, certified Aromatherapist, wife, and mother of three who educates her audience about the science behind essential oils. We’re specifically talking about the impact of stress on the mind-body connection and I am so excited for it.  During our conversation, Holly is educating us on the science behind how our body handles stress, the difference between stress and anxiety, what the stress cycle is, and how essential oils can help us cope with stress, plus so much more.  Essential Oils Mentioned: Valor Follow along with Holly @scienceofessentials Follow Whimsy + Wellness on Instagram Get 10% off at Whimsy + Wellness!
