Pragmatic wellness- an interview with Michelle Bishop of Bangalay Luxury Villas

In Episode 24, Liz Cook chats with Michelle Bishop, founder of Bangalay Luxury Villas.
Michelle is one busy woman! As co-founder of Bangalay Luxury Villas in beautiful Shoalhaven Heads near Sydney, Michelle runs the Villas with husband Tom and a staff of 50, plus 4 kids of her own, including a toddler! My aim was to chat with Michelle about cultivating wellness, but it turns out Michelle is much more pragmatic than that, and it was refreshing to hear her turn the idea of self-care into more about paying attention to important relationships, and becoming more self-aware, rather than necessarily taking on spa days and turmeric lattes!

When your favourite fragrance makes you anxious

Have you ever considered that the synthetic scents you love could be contributing to your mental health challenges?⁠⁠ Research shows that some of the chemicals used in synthetic fragrance can negatively impact your nervous system, hormones and cortisol, leading to (or exacerbating) feelings of anxiety and/or depression. 
 
As a practitioner with a strong interest in mental health, and seventeen books on the subject on my bookshelf,  I have been researching topics around environmental contributors to anxiety and depression for several years. And I'm convinced that the synthetic chemicals we are exposed to in our every day lives are having a marked impact on our mental health, as well as out overall health. If course, this is only one piece of the mental health puzzle, so don’t stop here. But If you are suffering from anxiety or depression and trying to locate the keys to unlock your recovery, this could be one of them.
