Show Notes

[2:12] Welcome back to episode 75 of the Boom Vision podcast! I am excited to share today's interview with my new friend, Andrea Bailey-Tweed, who I was introduced through a our mutual friend, Brooke Young. 

As a brief background:

Andrea Bailey-Tweed spent decades of her life in radio and television broadcasting, followed by a high intensity career as a top-level communications professional within the United States Government. Then she suffered a major health crisis, which not only ended her career, but her health took a downward spiral.  Years of countless doctor visits, surgeries, and medications were unsuccessful as her health continued to deteriorate. Before giving up, she was tasked to take charge of her own destiny and health. She employed the power of aromatherapy with phenomenal results. The use of essential oils not only helped restore her health, but helped her settle into herself and make peace with her life. Today, she is a Certified Aromatherapist and founder of Earth’s Own Essentials LLC.  Her goal is to empower people to be proactive in their health care.
