    The Power of Aromatherapy, Affordable "Clean" Beauty and Staying Relevant with Pacifica Founder Brook Harvey-Taylor

    The Power of Aromatherapy, Affordable "Clean" Beauty and Staying Relevant with Pacifica Founder Brook Harvey-Taylor

    Just ahead of Earth Month, this week we’re welcoming Brook Harvey-Taylor, Founder and President of Pacifica Beauty, the affordable, clean beauty brand that’s been championing vegan beauty for nearly 30 years. Join in to hear about Brook’s journey, from selling her first aromatherapy fragrance at a Grateful Dead show in Eugene, Ore. in the early 1990s to launching the brand’s best-selling vitamin C serum to coming full circle – with a new line of “aromapower” fragrances that kick starts a mood with every spritz.




    In this episode, you’ll hear:How a childhood fave book, “Jitterbug Perfume,” inspired Brook’s passion for fragrance, and ultimately led her to become a certified aromatherapist. Which scent to reach for, and when, if you want to uplift, focus or calm your mood, according to the proWhich ingredients to avoid if you’re scent sensitiveWhat sets their best-selling Vitamin C serum, the Glow Baby Booster Serum, apart - and how it can only cost $18?! Why Pacifica is moving away from the phrase “clean beauty,” and why Brook is proudly creating products for everyone.

    Exposing Multi-Level Marketing – aka MLM – Scams with Award-Winning Host of “The Dream” Podcast and Author of “Selling The Dream,” Jane Marie

    Exposing Multi-Level Marketing – aka MLM – Scams with Award-Winning Host of “The Dream” Podcast and Author of “Selling The Dream,” Jane Marie

    MLM company scams are everywhere. So, just what is an MLM company? Better known as multi-level marketing companies, MLMs are businesses that involve selling products to family and friends while recruiting other people to do the same (think: Avon, Doterra, Arbonne, Rodan and Fields, and more). Except that only 1% of people who join an MLM company will actually turn a profit.




    Today, we’re exploring the dark side of MLMs with Peabody and Emmy Award–winning journalist and author, Jane Marie. Jane Marie is the former producer of This American Life and most recently, Michelle Obama’s “The Light” podcast. As host of The Dream podcast, Jane Marie joins us to chat about her debut book, Selling The Dream The Billion-Dollar Industry Bankrupting Americans, a must-read exposé on the deceptive truths behind MLMs.




    PS - Be sure to check out Jane Marie’s latest podcast called “Finally a Show!” 




    In this episode, you’ll hear:Are MLMs actually pyramid schemes? What it *really* takes to get that fancy car from an MLM companyHow some MLM participants are having to seek out “deprogramming” therapyWhy so many people don’t report their experiences of getting scammed by an MLM companyThe popular brand at Sephora that is a low-key MLMPlus! In an impromptu role play, Jane Marie tries to convince Jill to join an MLM company
