Women everywhere have forgotten the art of self-care. We feel we don’t have time to slow down to care for ourselves, but we may not realize it’s wreaking havoc on our bodies, brains and spirits. In this episode I’m talking with leading entrepreneur and former Hollywood actress Shiva Rose. She is also the author of one of my favorite wellness books, Whole Beauty, where she shares daily ritual and natural recipes for lifelong beauty and wellness. We dive into her interesting story of growing up in Iran and needing to flee and all that happened after. For those craving more ritual and wellness in your life, be sure to listen in now…

• The importance of rituals

A decade ago, after suffering fro a life-threatening autoimmune disorder, Hollywood actress Shiva Rose made it her mission to find a more holistic way to natural health and beauty. As she grew her own organic herbs and flowers, she developed her own self-care and beauty rituals and ultimately healed her life and led her to create the holistic lifestyle website the Local Rose to share her findings with others and go on to develop her own nontoxic, all natural skin care line at Shivarose.com. She is the author of Whole Beauty, one of my personal favorite wellness books - where she shares daily ritual and natural recipes for lifelong beauty and wellness. And she is a leader and entrepreneur in the world of all natural beauty, wellness and lifestyle.
