Beth of Fresh Air: Episode 22 - De-Scent

Beth of Fresh Air – Episode 22: De-Scent

Live — Friday, March 20 at 2 PM CDT

In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I’m turning my attention to something subtle, pervasive, and rarely questioned: scent.

It’s everywhere.

From perfumes and cleaning products to public spaces and travel environments, scent shapes our experience more than we tend to notice — influencing mood, affecting the body, and sometimes overwhelming the senses in ways that are hard to ignore once you start paying attention.

After a recent trip out of the country with my son, I found myself in what can only be described as a kind of scented assault. What started as a simple journey quickly turned into a series of plot twists all centered around this one theme.

In this solo episode, I’ll share that story — how it unfolded, how we navigated it, and what it revealed.

I’ll also talk about:

• The constant presence of toxic scents in modern environments

• How scent interacts with the body and nervous system

• Why this is such an overlooked influence on our experience

• Practical and sometimes quirky ways I’ve learned to work with it

• What happens when you’re pushed out of comfort and into awareness

Along the way, I’ll share some of the other memorable parts of the trip — including run-ins with officials (some good, some not so good), unexpected challenges, and the genuinely good things that came out of what initially felt like a shock to the system.

This episode is part reflection, part exploration, and part practical navigation.

Let’s take a Beth of Fresh Air together.
