DEEPLY RESTED PODCAST

How can scent support your self-care and enhance your business?
Have you ever caught a whiff of a familiar scent and been instantly transported to a long-forgotten memory? That’s the magic of fragrance—and it can be a powerful tool for self-care, grounding, and even entrepreneurship.
In this episode of the Deeply Rested podcast, I sit down with perfumer Helida Dodd to explore how scent influences our emotions, creativity, and daily experiences in ways we often overlook. Helida shares her journey from industrial engineering to crafting personalized perfumes and reveals how fragrance can be a tool for focus, self-care, and creating intentional experiences in both life and business.

- How to use scent intentionally as an entrepreneur (40:30)
Scent isn’t just a background detail—it’s a tool for shaping how we feel, work, and remember. I’d love for you to tune in and explore how you can use it to create more intentional and enjoyable experiences.
