  • The Science of Aromatherapy: Finding Ease Thru Oils and Hugs
    2025/03/02

    Hey, everyone. Welcome back to Fyre Wimmen! Tonight, we're diving into a world where science meets scent and wellness gets a revolutionary twist. And who better to guide us than my old high school friend, Tammy Davis?

    Tammy isn't just any aromatherapist—she's a master clinical neuro aromatherapist (yes, that's a thing, and it's as cool as it sounds) and the Founder of Revolutionary Aromatherapy. We reconnected 16 years ago at a mini-reunion in Austin, and I've been following her amazing journey ever since. She's one of the kindest, calmest, and most brilliant people I know, and she's spent 40 years in wellness and health education, blending solid science with natural healing.

    Tonight, we're peeling back the layers on some fascinating topics—neuroplasticity, bio-adaptive wellness, the gut-brain axis, adaptogens, and even epigenetics. Sound complex? Don't worry; Tammy has a way of making it all make sense (and smell amazing while doing it!).

    So, whether you're a wellness enthusiast or just curious about how a whiff of the right scent can rewire your brain, you're in for a treat. Get comfy, take a deep breath, and let's jump into the world of neuro aromatherapy with Tammy Davis!

  • Teaching Special Education Kiddoes: It's Not for Sissies!
    2025/02/17

    On the next episode of Fyre Wimmen, we’re sitting down with a powerhouse in special education—an early childhood guru who’s spent the last decade guiding young learners with intellectual and learning disabilities toward success. She’s not just a teacher; she’s a mentor, an advocate, and a lifeline for both students and their families. We’ll take a deep dive into what led her to this challenging yet deeply fulfilling career, how she navigated the world of specialized credentials, and the realities—both beautiful and brutal—of teaching children with exceptional needs. From the small victories that make it all worth it to the speed bumps that make her question everything, we’re getting the raw, unfiltered truth about life in special education.

    But that’s not all—she’s also a wife and a mom of four school-age kids, balancing the chaos of home life with the demands of the classroom. We’ll talk about what it takes to juggle it all, the current state of education in Texas and the U.S., and why the push for school vouchers is a dangerous road to go down. And the big question: how long can she keep this up? Teaching is more than a job—it’s a calling, but it’s also a system that burns out even the most passionate educators. Join us for a conversation that’s honest, insightful, and eye-opening—only on Fyre Wimmen.
