Aug 19, 2019

Today’s podcast guest is extraordinary, and I hope you enjoy learning about her work as much as I have! In addition to having co-founded baalm, where she’s found a brilliant way to meld beauty and tech, Mandi Nyambi is also a scientist and author of Fresh  Face: Simple Routines for Beautiful Glowing Skin, Every Day. At the core of Mandi’s business are community and cooperation. 

 

Here are some key takeaways from my chat with Mandi:

•   Creating a community is a wonderful way to help people feel heard, seen, and connected; the feeling of inclusiveness created is invaluable and inevitably leads to strong bonds between people.
•   Keeping your hands open to receive blessings is a great way to allow new possibilities to enter your life.
•   Setting boundaries is an important aspect of living a happy and healthy life; whether they be with your family, friends, work, and even yourself, boundaries can provide a sense of freedom.
•   Healthy living is understanding what you want for your life, creating equilibrium and maintaining it.
