The Sister wound,The Motherwound and Then Witch Wound with Tanya Lynn

In this episode Tanya Lynn and I discuss the terms "sister wound," "mother wound," and "witch wound". These concepts are not clinically recognized disorders but are used in certain psychological and therapeutic contexts to understand and address specific forms of emotional distress. Seeing how each of these wounds coresponds with a healing balm is Tanya's zone of genius. You can watch the episode on youtube at https://youtu.be/RsQXJA6CCtE

Clean Up Your Skin Care Routine with Gabi Day

Welcome to another episode of The Mother's Empowerment Podcast, the podcast that's all about helping you achieve your best self through personal empowering choices. I'm your host, Isabelle, and today we have an insightful interview that delves into the importance of cleaning up your skincare routine. Gabi Day is the CEO, Founder, and Formulator of Bright Body and Bright Body Baby, nontoxic and refillable skin + hair care for both adults and littles.
While bedbound with multiple chronic illnesses, she started reading ingredient lists, keen to give her immune system a break. When she couldn't find a brand that met her standards for ingredient safety and sustainability, she learned cosmetic chemistry and developed that brand herself, launching in October 2017.
After becoming a mom to identical twin boys 4.5 years later, she found herself disappointed in nontoxic baby products. It seemed like harsh ingredients, greenwashing, and plastic packaging were the norm. So, when her twins were just 3 months old, she started formulating products for littles and launched Bright Body Baby in October 2022.
Gabi lives + breathes the science behind personal care products, with a commitment to clean ingredients and sustainability. She believes that "clean" products should nourish the body AND the planet..
