EP62 Best Of The Live Journal with Hellen Yuan
We're bringing back this episode with Helen Yuan to honor her memory.
After having experienced several losses in her life, Hellen found solace in methods of healing more closely related to her Taiwanese roots. She sought out many nontraditional healers, and eventually studied to become a Reiki practitioner herself.
Part of this healing process also involved bath soaks; Hellen started developing layered formulas with potent healing mixtures of essential oils, salts, flowers, crystals, and sound. HELLEN launched with four hand-crafted bath brew recipes that address different areas of a person’s life, correspond with the four elements, and open four of the chakras. In 2019, Hellen furthered her study of plant medicine by becoming a certified Aromatherapist through the renowned National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy.
Your favorite non-negotiable self-care ritual or routine OR a favorite recipe or tonic. Every morning I make a juice tonic for myself – I call it my "Omega Cold Pressed Juice"!
The ingredients include lemon, mint, lavender, ginger, beets, carrots, apples, turmeric and orange. It really helps build my immunity, which is so important during this time, and it is super anti-inflammatory. I also create infused water that I drink throughout the day to further boost my immune system, detoxify, help with digestion issues. Plus, it is a great way to keep hydrated and it is super low in calories! I added a few of my favorite recipes below. Ginger/ Rosemary or Mint / Lime or Lemon Lavender/ Cucumber/ Lemon Strawberry/ Mint/ Lemon.

EP56 “A Joy Filled Life” Lauren Blodgett
Lauren is a Brooklyn-based immigration attorney and founder of the non-profit The Brave House, which provides legal & holistic services, mentorship, and community to young immigrant women in New York. Lauren was on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for Law and Policy due to her innovative approach to legal services.

LAUREN'S NON-NEGOTIABLES: PLAY. I have fun every single day. I try to view the world with child-like wonder and lightheartedness and optimism - especially given the gravity of my daily work. I believe that life is sacred and juicy and part of showing gratitude is by enjoying it. I'm like a modern day Mary Poppins - "in every job that must be done there is an element of fun, you find the fun and *SNAP* the job becomes a game!" I believe that how you spend your days is how you spend your life, so I carve out time to cherish the day with laughter and joy... even if it just means dancing to Lizzo in my kitchen. Also sleep. I am hard-core about getting deep, lucious sleep for at least 8 hours a night. Non-negotiable. If I'm going to show up with energy and exuberance every day, I absolutely have to let my body recharge.
Find more about Lauren: Text Be Brave to 44-321 to donate to the Brave House or go to our website, and please follow along our IG @thebravehouse to see what we are up to. If there's anyone with an autoimmune condition who feels alone, they can reach out to me at @blodgey on instagram to talk over the phone. I've found community & peer support to be so important in my healing and I'd love to offer that to anyone else in need. You are not alone.
