MSV Episode 01132016* – First, my apologies for being a few days late with the show notes. Here’s the info on this inspiring episode:
Esosa E., aka The Raw Girl, is a vegan natural beauty and detox expert, creator of the blog Raw Girl in a Toxic World, author of The Acne-Free Diet; Parasites Be Gone!; Raw Girl’s 7-Day Detox for Beauty, Weight Loss, and Rejuvenation; and Got Veg: How to Thrive on a Plant-Based Diet, her newest book for which I wrote the foreword. Esosa is also an actress and one of the stars of the hit international show, An African City, cited as “Sex and the City for Africa.”

Esosa is also a committed Christian who engages in fasting for spiritual growth and connection. We’ll have her on again, hopefully during the Easter season, to talk about this.

And she’ll be doing a wonderful virtual retreat on Saturday, March 5, 2016, 10 a.m. to 4 pm Eastern U.S. Time, in which we can all participate from our own homes. The day will begin and end with a live video virtual chat, and will include videos, MP3s, and meditations in which participants can take part throughout the day. Get full info at

And here’s some wisdom from Kimberly for the taking. Create tranquility in your life by:
- Creating space in your schedule, a buffer. Don’t schedule commitments back to back. Plan to arrive early. Allow yourself time and space for calmness to develop and dwell.
- Learn to use your breath. The most valuable technique is the yogic, 3-part breath: inhaling through the nose and lifting the belly, the ribs, and then the chest. To exhale, allow the chest, the ribs, and then the belly to deflate.
- Making time for what’s important to you, especially early in the day. Start your day by refilling your personal well.
Blast from the past: If you loved hearing from Esosa and Kimberly (and who wouldn’t?), you’ll also enjoy Chloe Jo Davis of GirlieGirlArmy.com. She’s a longtime NYC style setter and fashion/beauty blogger whose life was transformed by ethical veganism. She’s now also a wife and the super-natural mom of three adorable vegan boys under five, and she contributed her story to my latest book, The Good Karma Diet.
