Meeting overwhelm with productivity methods is a well worn path.  But do you ever feel like that path is just a wagon rut that just takes you in circles? 

What if the answer isn’t about getting better at handling overwhelm, but instead, finding a deeper presence with your body to unhook from it altogether?

In this episode of Come To Your Senses, I’m weaving you a tale that includes mid-day naps in the coat closet, being saved by a whiff of geranium, and other early stirrings of a sensualist spirit.  These tools bring pleasure to life, but more than that, they bring the ability to be awake in life, and to not be sucked in by the undertow so deeply. In this episode you’ll discover:

✨ Why so many of us meet overwhelm with more doing, and what to try instead
✨ How a single inhale of scent can bring you back to center
✨ What it means to be a sensualist, not just in stressful times, but as a way of life
✨ Three powerful gems to ground you when life feels like a bite too big to chew

The Renaissance was a time of discovery, beauty, and full-bodied celebration of the senses. 

It was also, let’s be honest, a horrendous time of patriarchal oppression and violence, where unless you were a wealthy white man in a powdered wig, you were likely left out of the party, or even crushed beneath its weight. 

What would it look like to create an everyday renaissance?

One that reclaims beauty, celebration, and pleasure not as a privileged luxury, but as an essential part of human life? 

What if you could thread that age-old spirit of creativity, wonder, art, and reverie, into the fabric of your modern life? 

Those are exactly the questions we’re planting in the gem garden today, and harvesting their beautiful blooms. 

In today’s episode, you’ll hear about:

• How to become a savant of the senses in your own daily life
• Why beauty and presence are acts of reclamation
• Little ways to live like an artist, and be guided by the muse
• How to infuse your routines with renaissance-level richness

Hit play to discover how to start your own renaissance - a rebirth and recentering of what makes you feel most alive - with just one click.

Here’s to pedestal bowls overflowing with fruit, arias curling through the air like incense, and awakening the essence of the renaissance through your very own body, beauty, and breath. 

With love, literature, and lavishness, 

Mary
