Not My Best

While we're stuck inside, Julia is bringing you quick, informative episodes on how to live a better (not best) quarantined life. Mills McQueen is the founder of Mineral, a cannabinoid based wellness company. If you could bottle up what an amazing human Mills is, that is Mineral. After an infection from a parasite that nearly took his life, Mills used a holistic approach to both remain calm and heal himself physically. He has so many admirable daily practices and values that we could all benefit from implementing in our lives right now. Though we may not be able to live exactly like him, we can surely learn from him to become a little bit better. In this episode, we are talking about how nurturing your mindset can transform your wellness and physical health.
