The Whimsy + Wellness Podcast

Here at Whimsy and Wellness, we get a lot of compliments on our customer service. Since the number one moral of the company is to take care of our Whimsy family from start to finish, we are incredibly proud that our values are appreciated. Whimsy strives to make every customer happy by the end of each interaction, so we thought it was time to share our process so we can help other companies spread positivity to their own customers.

In today’s episode, I am talking with our Founder, Haylee, and Whimsy’s very own Customer Service Extraordinaire, Mandy, who go in-depth on all things customer service. They’re giving us the inside scoop on why great customer service is the key to any business’ success, non-negotiables for customer interactions, and their number one rule of thumb when responding to customers. 

During our conversation, we talk about the importance of empathy, how to build trust with your customers, and why you always need to be open to (and implement) customer feedback. Did I mention they’re sharing their five biggest takeaways for excellent customer service?

How are you dealing with your daily emotional and physical stress? As women and moms, we don't always go inward to take care of ourselves when we feel stressed. Maybe we feel like we don’t have the capacity to or maybe we’ve normalized being over-stressed or not dealing with our stress at all. 

That’s why it’s so important to carve out time to slow down, pay attention to what your body needs, and find healthy coping strategies so you aren’t inviting unnecessary stress into your life. 

In today’s episode, I am talking with Holly Brandenberger, nurse, certified Aromatherapist, wife, and mother of three who educates her audience about the science behind essential oils. We’re specifically talking about the impact of stress on the mind-body connection and I am so excited for it. 

During our conversation, Holly is educating us on the science behind how our body handles stress, the difference between stress and anxiety, what the stress cycle is, and how essential oils can help us cope with stress, plus so much more.

What is scarier, remaining in a toxic relationship that no longer serves your great purpose or the unknown? It might seem like an obvious choice, but when you’re in the thick of it, life’s complexities can often keep you from choosing the healthiest option for you and your children. Today’s guest chose bravery by stepping into the unknown of single motherhood and turned her fear around her situation into possibility. 

In today’s episode, I am talking with Kari Friedman, business owner and mom of 5, who bravely and vulnerably shares her story on becoming and embracing being a single mom. Kari advocates for the destigmatization of single motherhood by empowering single moms to take charge of their life even after hardship. 

In our conversation, we’re talking about the scariness of choosing the unknown, why there is shame around being a single mom (and how we can fix that as a society), what goes into being a single mother, and how we can support the single mothers in our lives.

Did you know the Enneagram can unlock compassion for both yourself and others? Instead of looking at the Enneagram as another personality test, think of it as a tool for growth in life, love, and even business. Your Enneagram is a journey of self-awareness and self-growth, and when approached correctly, you can use it to thrive spiritually, psychologically, and emotionally.

In today’s episode, I am chatting with Steph Barron Hall, founder of Nine Types Co, author, and expert on all things Enneagram. We’re unpacking everything you ever wanted to know about the Enneagram and types, including how to find out which one you are, what enneagram wings and subtypes are, and how they can be used as a tool for self-growth. Plus, Steph is walking us through each core type and how they show up in stress.
