In this episode of Botanical Rebellion, I’m joined by Gene Meyer, (comedian, metal vocalist, and therapist) for a raw and hilarious conversation.

18: Mini Travel Episode

In this episode, I share how I’ve been traveling solo since 16, why I chase season changes, mountains, and local culture, and how I keep trips affordable, safe, and low-stress. From NYC day trips to Google Flights hacks, traveling light, and health-first prep—this is a realistic take on solo travel for the curious, the cautious, and the chronically wanderlust-filled.

17: Throwing Yourself Back Out to the Wolves After Healing

After a long season of cocooning, how do you know when it’s time to rejoin the world — to test your growth, trust your healing, and reclaim your spark? In this episode, Misti Blu Day explores what it means to move beyond survival mode, rebuild self-trust, and find strength in healthy challenge rather than chronic stress. Special guest Cara from Eclipse Counseling [https://www.eclipsecounseling.care/about-cara], a licensed mental health counselor, joins the conversation to unpack how to tell the difference between intuition and anxiety — and how to recognize who’s a wolf and who’s a sheep when navigating relationships, boundaries, and personal growth. This episode blends nervous system science, Stoic resilience, and a little rebellious self-discovery — a reminder that healing wasn’t meant to make you hide; it was meant to teach you how to fly.

15: Finding Peace Within When Your Inner Voice Won’t Shut the F Up

In this episode of Botanical Rebellion, I’m unpacking the relentless voice in your head — and how trauma, stress, or toxic situations can amplify that noise. I share practical tools from Stoicism, neuroscience, and emotional regulation to help you reclaim peace, even when the noise isn’t just internal. Peace isn’t just a mindset — it’s protection, boundaries, and practice. Episode Notes: https://mistibludream.com/2025/07/14/episode-15/ [https://mistibludream.com/2025/07/14/episode-15/]
