Commune with Jeff Krasno : 556. Slow Down and Sense Your Life with Sarah Villafranco

SHOW NOTES

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.

Commune with Jeff Krasno
Commune is a podcast where we explore the ideas and practices that bring us together and help us live healthy, purpose-filled lives. We believe personal and societal health are two sides of the same coin, and that cultivating personal wellness is the first step toward making the world well. We connect with experts, scientists, and storytellers around food, health, social impact, mindfulness and movement practices, personal growth, and environmental action. In addition to being a podcast, Commune is also an online course platform where thousands of participants take each course together, day-by-day, for free. We then provide social tools that empower participants to form local action groups and implement their new knowledge in their communities.
