It's Ok to Do Less with Dulesé Founder Amelia Jory

It's Ok to Do Less with Dulesé Founder Amelia Jory

Author: The Hits March 28, 2026 Duration: 40:04

Amelia Jory founded natural deodorant company Dulesé after discovering the chemicals in traditional deodorants were causing irritation on her skin. 

In the modern wellness world there's so much expectation to be doing everything all the time, so we chatted about the importance of actually doing less to look after yourself more. 

I'd love to hear how you feel about this episode, and the podcast as a whole. You can find me on Instagram @PJDeeJay

There’s a particular feeling that comes with finding a quiet corner in a loud world, and that’s the space Slow It Down aims to create. Hosted by PJ Harding and presented by The Hits Podcast Network, this weekly podcast arrives every Sunday as an intentional pause. It’s less about adding another task to your list and more about carving out a genuine moment for yourself. You’ll hear thoughtful dialogues that weave together themes of personal well-being, cultural shifts, and practical self-improvement, all with a gentle, reflective tone. The second season continues this mission, offering fresh conversations with a variety of inspiring guests who share insights on living more mindfully. This isn’t a lecture or a rigid guide; it’s a companion for anyone feeling overscheduled and under-connected. Each episode serves as a gentle nudge to step back, breathe, and consider what matters. Tuning into this podcast feels like a small, weekly reset-a chance to unwind your thoughts and reconnect with a calmer perspective amidst the rush of daily life.
