2019 was the starting point of me paying greater attention to my skin and body care routine. I made the vow to begin using ONLY (or as much as absolutely possible) natural body and skin care products. The previous summer, I attended the One Music Festival in Atlanta and found an amazing vendor that made and sold natural products. I purchased a black tea facial scrub that changed my skin so drastically, I knew I had to continue this routine. My face and skin was noticebly brighter, clearer and my skin tone more even. I mean, it LOOKED super healthy. As I continued deeper into my new routine during 2019, I didn't opt for just "all-natural", I went mostly for PLANT-BASED products- or products that are "clean", easily accessible and sometimes "edible". Here we are in 2021, and my skin is looking better than ever and my body and haircare are also all nearly plant-based and all natural.
My guest today: Tiffany Bailey is a Master Herbalist and Licensed Aesthetician and creator of Ain't That Sumthin Skincare in Indianapolis, Indiana. Her mobile skincare and beauty services held steady even during COVID-19, providing self-care to many just needing to ground, relax and reconnect with themselves. Tiffany's work as a Master Herbalist shows up in her products, as she relies on native plants, herbs and roots found in your own backyard. She healed her own sensitive skin through the use of plant-based products and created her own line Ain't That Sumthin' Skincare.
In this epidose we discuss:
Hydration
Ingredients: read the label!
Tiffany's favorite Herbs

Missy Ammerman, LCSW

Happy spring folks! It was a long, cold winter and it's time to enjoy the outdoors and sunshine. Winter is typically a time for many to go inward, re-evaluate and reflect. To our surprise, 2020 also had us adapting to many unexpected and new normals. I felt all this too, and the time I took was reflective and introspective. RELATIONSHIPS- current and past -seemed to keep coming up and I had to evaluate my part in them all. The good, the bad and yes...the ugly. And for some of my relationships- there was a need to apologize, whethere I felt I was wrong or not...I just felt the need.
As we process these thoughts and emotions, it can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling anxious and unsure. So to help us understand things a little better, I called on Missy Ammerman-LCSW, to help me sort through some emotions related to my current and past relationships and how I was approaching and/or showing up for them. Missy's services at her practice in Lexington, Kentucky, include a hybrid of therapy and coaching to help men and women struggling with anxiety, depression and relationship issues identify roadblocks and address issues that are keeping them feeling stuck. Hallelujah! Bingo! YES! This is what we need ya'll (see how I love you??)!
Grab a note pad and pen and hear Missy's advice on:
- Your MINDSET and how to move through roadblocks, anxiety and other uncertainties.
- Overcoming isolation anxieties and "analysis paralysis" .
- How to use healthy and effective communication approaches in your relationships
- and Mastering the ART of the APOLOGY
I needed ALL of this and although you can't see me during this episode, you'll probably hear the tears and emotion in my voice. This self-work is hard! But I see and feel every one of you doing your best to be better to yourselves so you can pour into and be better to others.
Take a deep breath and listen to this episode. And seriously...it's ok.
You are ok. We are OK.
I love you.

P.S. Enjoy the bit of healthy humor at the beginning of the episode:) My editing skills/tools are NOT working together today! ..... (Update FIXED IT!- I'ma one woman show folks lol:))

Have I got a word for you on today! It's Episode 9 of The Road Trip to Wellness Podcast!
We getting a little bible study, Sunday school and church in this episode ya'll so get ready! I sit down with my good friend Mr. Tolvi R. Patterson, of Authentic Movement for a deep conversation that has been burning on my heart for so long. I was raised in the church and share the gift of teaching much like my grandfather, a church elder, my father and his brothers (mostly all ministers), but spent the majority of my life bewildered and stifled by the rules of "religion". My spiritual journey has created an overflow of questions that have followed me my entire life and I get greater understanding and many of those questions clarified in this episode! HALLELUJAH!
@mr_authenticity patiently breaks down my questions, thoughts and ideas and affirms them with biblical scripture, gentle wisdom and common sense. He teaches us:
- Down to earth principles for living a "spiritually well" life
- About the "still small voice" of God and how to hear it.
- How living a spiritual well or "Godly" lifestyle is available to everyone not just "religious" people.
As a teacher, he genuinely focuses on helping people from all walks of life capture their authenticity, embrace who they are now, and create a vision rooted in movement for their future. Mr. Patterson is the founder of Authentic Movement, an ordained minister, mentor, coach, public speaker, strategic consultant, and leader within his community. I'm so grateful to get to share him with you!

NEW EPISODE 6 | Road Trip to Wellness Podcast!
Shelby Royster started her wellness journey in culinary school where she quickly grew her passion for healthy lifestyles. She has encountered many twists and turns on her Road Trip to Wellness. She is Vegan, a Certified Holistic Health Coach, and has worked in non-profit spaces where she advocates for health equity. All of this has led her to what she feels is the most important part of her journey, Motherhood.
As a new mom, Shelby is passionate about giving her baby girl the best, while helping to educate other Black women on how to do the same. She is currently pursuing a degree in Healthcare Management, which she plans to use to help her reach more Women of Color, teaching them to advocate for themselves in spaces that have infamously diminished their voices.
Shelby is a powerful voice in the health space and she is now using that voice as a black woman and mother!
Disclaimer: this is a LONG episode...but definitely worth the listen!
