556. Slow Down and Sense Your Life with Sarah Villafranco

In today’s episode, Jeff is joined by founder of Osmia Skincare, Sarah Villafranco. However, the conversation goes far beyond how to properly care for your body’s largest organ. Sarah sheds light on modern beauty standards (or, rather, double standards), transparency in the cosmetics industry, and how to operate small business successfully and ethically. NEW! Jeff has a Commune course – Good Stress – where he shares the 10 “good stress” protocols that helped him lose 60 pounds, reverse pre-diabetes, improve sleep, increase his ability to focus and feel more energized.
