Ed Dailey is the director of product education and a proponent of holistic well-being, and he is in the studio today to walk through a process of grounding yourself. There’s no pride in being the most stressed, and the more you stay stressed, the harder it becomes to relax. So take these tips with you into the happiest time of year and feel your stress melt away. 

With the holidays in full swing, we’re here to provide peace of mind during the busy season. Executive Director of U.S. Sales Marketing Haley Jensen joins us in the studio to help you go beyond simple gift-giving and focus on giving with intention, meaning, and impact as you share the gift of holistic well-being. Whether you’re looking for last-minute gift ideas or for space to decompress, we’ve got what you need to spice up your holiday.
