In this quick solo episode of The Therapy Edit, Anna takes a look at temptation and how we can support ourselves to steer clear of things we're tempted by, but that we know don't serve us.

Useful tips that could help you stay on top of the habits you've committed to in 2024.

In this Friday guest episode of The Therapy Edit, Anna chats to founder of the wellbeing brand, NEOM, Nicola Elliot about her One Thing; adopting a flexible approach to your wellbeing and creating your own unique toolkit.

Nicola Elliott is the founder of NEOM - a British wellbeing brand which harnesses the powers of 100% natural essential oils to help boost your wellbeing.

After spending seven hectic years working a 60-hour week as a journalist in London, Nicola really started to feel the effects of a fast-paced life - poor sleep, increased stress and low energy and mood. It was this that kickstarted her own wellbeing journey and led her to create therapeutic and effective blends using 100% natural essential oils from her own kitchen.

In 2005, NEOM was born. Launching with five aromatherapy candles, they were one of the first on the market to be made with only 100% naturally derived wax and 100% natural essential oils. With an ethos of ‘small steps, big difference’, NEOM is all about the little things we can do throughout our day to help have a big impact on the four main pillars of wellbeing… better sleep, less stress, more energy and a lifted mood.

Since then, NEOM’s product line has grown to now include an impressive collection of home fragrance products including their iconic Wellbeing Pod and reed diffusers as well as bath and body essentials and skincare too - all with an aim to have something for every mood and moment in your day.

Today, Nicola remains at the forefront of the brand as founder overseeing the day-to-day running and creative storytelling to continue NEOM’s mission of supercharging the wellbeing of the world. Keeping her finger very much on the pulse when it comes to education and trends, Nicola loves nothing more than testing and trying the latest wellbeing must-haves. Her approach to wellbeing is refreshingly real and achievable.

In today's solo episode of The Therapy Edit, Anna considers how some of us approach a need to be fiercely independent and how we're hard wired to perceive that asking for accepting help is a sign of failure.

If this sounds like you, be sure to have a listen. It's also a total joy when we hear about friends sharing episode links via WhatsApps or texts - if you know someone whose independence is making their lives harder than they need to be, this could be a great gift to pass along.
