Episode 44: WHAT IS UP WITH ESSENTIAL OILS? with Living That Oil Life's Ashleigh Murfin

Loading player...
This week on The Great Equalizer, Sam and Charlene launch into the brave new world of ESSENTIAL OILS.

Guys, this oily business has become just another excuse for moms to find a way to disagree and to choose their side in the Great Mom War. Jokes abound and many, many memes are doing the rounds about the greeny-beaniness of essential oils. The assumption of those in the dark is that only “crunchy anti-vaxxers” delve into essential oils. Look, we’re staying FAAAAR away from that argument (#nojudgies), but guys… When you know better, you do better, right? AND NOW WE KNOW BETTER.

Scrap the bullshit labels and divisions and enter Ashleigh Murfin, founder of local small business Living That Oil Life. This power mom is a lover and a healer with the most amazing story. Pre-kid Ash faced some heavy shit in her later 20s and was forced to take a long, strong look at changing her lifestyle. This incredible woman has done her homework on essential oils and she knows her stuff. More than that, she’s developed her own range of blends, which are thebomb.com. We at The Great Equalizer have tried and tested her products and this stuff seriously works!

What’s more, Living That Oil LIfe products are not just for adults! Our little people can benefit from these natural oils too. Ash has something for nausea, rashy bums, eczema, teething and LOTS LOTS MORE. Aaaaaannnnddd there may or may not be a little libido range in the works. Basically, we are Here. For. It.

Folks, when you hit play on this episode, have the tissues on hand. Ash’s journey to holistic wellness was a rocky one (to put it lightly). But you know what? No diamond was ever made without a mountain of pressure.
