Welcome to my first Deep Dive episode with yours truly, Marina Zahran! Today we're talking all things detoxification.

We're hitting the big 3:

- Wet brush: Long Bristle Brush

- Abhyanga: Organic oils (Jojoba, Almond, Safflower)

- Tongue: Metal Tongue Scraper

I have years of education in the field of Ayurvedic medicine, thus we will explore ancient wisdoms and teachings inspired by this time-honored life science.

Our first guest, Emma Sears (@undermoonrise) is a dear friend + lover of the moon and her magic.

This episode is one that inspires you to look up and out, both at the moon + what it is you wish to call into your life. She explores various practices to harness the magic of the moon, synch your cycle, connect with your higher self, and live your truest... fullest life. She discovered the power of syncing with the moon at a time when she felt super stressed, unfulfilled, and stuck in a loop of overwhelm. Aligning with the moon cycle allowed Emma to find purpose, move through fear, and make continuous actions in line with my life vision.

We hope you enjoy this first episode!
