In this episode of the High Sensory Mothers Podcast, Karen invites us into her morning ritual and shares how essential oils have become powerful tools for emotional release, self-connection, and grounding. From the unexpected surge of anger triggered by Basil to the radiant lift of Melissa, she explores how scent becomes a bridge between memory, emotion, and healing.

This is an offering for highly sensitive mothers seeking a more mindful, nature-connected path to emotional wellness—where oils aren’t just aromas, but trusted companions for daily support. Whether you’re new to essential oils or already weaving them into your rhythm, this conversation honours sensitivity, intention, and the quiet power of tuning in.
