Ep 112 | If you've ever felt like there are SO. MANY. OPTIONS. when it comes to essential oils and had no idea where to start, this episode is for you. My friend Lacey Grim—a holistic health educator, folk herbalist, and essential oil educator—joins me to break down what makes an oil worth using, how to use them safely around kids, and simple ways to fold them into your day for better mood, better sleep, and relief from stress and headaches.

🕒 In this episode:
[04:15] – Lacey's path into essential oils and why she never looked back
[09:25] – Pure vs. "Frankenstein" oils, and why purity changes everything
[16:15] – Rose, mood, and the research behind emotional support blends
[26:00] – Cleaning your home safely with essential oils
[32:15] – Oregano, frankincense & peppermint for headaches and immune support
[42:00] – Using essential oils safely with children, and building better sleep into your routine
[54:50] – Essential oils for the sauna

You don't need a cabinet full of oils to get started (no judgment if you already have one—mine's basically a small pharmacy at this point). Lacey shares the handful of multipurpose favorites that do the most work, so you can skip the overwhelm.
