What I Meant to Say

Life, Energy & Taking Real Care of the Planet with Jessica Paquette

Episode Summary

Jessica Paquette is a chemical engineer, yoga teacher and energy healer with a unique perspective on how we can work together to protect the earth and honor the circle of life she provides. Jess is comfortable being a fish out of water in most of the circles she runs in and her knowledge and ability to speak her mind made this a discussion on natural resources that you won’t hear anywhere else. I hope it encourages conversation on the things we can do to live at the crossroads of real sustainability and economic prosperity in America.
