The Happy Frank

Here’s a thought for you: If you are feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, frustrated in one way or another, perhaps it is not so much about how much you are doing, but WHO YOU ARE at the very core.

How stress looks like to each one of the Human Design Types

How each type overcomes stress

A 8 step affirmation each day to stand in your power

Essential oils are great but how do they help support my immunity? How do they help me stay healthy and well?

If you love essential oils but are constantly put off by the idea of blending for yourself, this episode is for you! I have also included a blend that I absolutely love to sleep with for you.
