Can a single scent truly transport you through time?

In this captivating episode of “Strong Mind, Strong Body,” host Angie Miller sits down with featured guest, clinical aromatherapist Jennifer Pressimone, to explore the extraordinary, often-overlooked power of scent on memory, motivation, and healing. Dive into the science behind how our sense of smell bypasses logic and instantly stirs deep emotional responses, sometimes unlocking forgotten memories and shaping our behavior before we even realize it.

Jennifer reveals how scent therapy isn't just about essential oils—it’s about using everyday smells to anchor positive habits, manage anxiety, and even support healing for those struggling with trauma or memory loss. Discover the truth about why certain scents trigger powerful emotional flashbacks, and learn practical, evidence-based techniques like scent mapping and emotional anchoring that anyone can try—no fancy products required.

Curious about aromatherapy’s impact on motivation, sleep, or mental clarity? Wondering if you can benefit even if you’ve lost your sense of smell? Jennifer’s insightful, accessible tips will empower you to harness the hidden potential of your environment—starting right from your kitchen spice rack.
