What if the candles you love are secretly harming your health?

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I’m chatting with Nicola Eliott, the incredible founder of NEOM Organics and one of my favorite people in the wellness space. Nicola’s journey is so inspiring—from working in the fast-paced world of journalism to creating a brand that’s all about natural living and well-being. We talk about the four pillars of wellness—sleep, stress, mood, and energy—and how even the smallest changes in your routine can make a huge difference.

Nicola also breaks down the hidden dangers of synthetic candles (yes, they can be toxic!) and shares how the right essential oils can uplift your mood, boost your energy, and help you sleep better. If you’re ready to create a home and a life that feels calmer, happier, and more balanced, this episode is for you.
