THE GOOD AND BAD OF ANXIETY
We are all familiar with the term “anxiety.” Perhaps you or your children deal with it on a daily basis.
Today’s guest, Laura Reardon, joins me to talk about the good and bad of anxiety; what it can teach us and how to avoid getting stuck in the cycle of it. We also cover how this shows up in our bodies and why.
Laura is a certified Child Behavior Specialist, trained as an Emotion Coach, Childhood Anxiety Coach, Parent Coach, and the founder of Laura Reardon Coaching. Laura helps parents who feel frustrated, worried, and unsure how to respond when their kid reacts to their big emotions, like anger and anxiety, and their big behaviors, like lashing out and shutting down.
Laura coaches parents who feel like they’ve tried everything by creating Personalized Parenting Plans.
Laura’s intention is to create more peace in our world, one family at a time.

ESSENTIAL MINUTE | COPAIBA
While there are a lot of oils and blends that can help us calm anxious feelings just by smelling the, like lavender, Adaptiv, Serenity, Balance just to name a few, I wanted to look at an oil that can work on our nevious system
Copaiba is often compared to CBD oil because it works on the same part of your body, but it is much more cost effective, has 0% chance of having THC in it, and you only need a few drops.
And as Laura talked about in our episode, so much of the anxiety feelings we encounter have to do with the nervous system. So how can we use this oil to help with this?
Because doTERRA oils are put through such high quality test, if the bottle has a supplement fact on it, you can take it internally and Copaiba is one of those oils! A lot of people will take 2 drops of copiaba under their right away in the morning so it gets into their system fast and effectively.
You can also diffuse it, apply it topically, or add it to your epsom salt bath!
