20. The Art of Wildcrafting with Travis Cartwright

In this episode, I sit down with my partner, Travis Cartwright, for a heartfelt conversation about the profound experience of foraging wild foods and medicines while building meaningful relationships with the living world. We explore the ethics of wildcrafting, the issues with industrial food systems, how to harvest with reciprocity and respect, and the importance of slowing down enough to truly know the ecosystems we’re part of. We also talk about some of our favourite plants to gather and work with, while telling stories from our wildcrafting adventures, and sharing tips for anyone curious about starting their own journey to connect with wild plants.  If you are a nature lover that wants to form more meaningful relationships with the plants and land around you, this conversation is for you!

19. Embodied Boundaries & Navigating Family Dynamics

In this episode, I open up about one of the most challenging parts of the healing journey: navigating family dynamics and close relationships while growing into your authentic self. Through a somatic and embodiment lens, I explore what happens when healing begins to shift the way we relate to the people around us. I share practical tools for setting healthy boundaries, communicating your needs with clarity and confidence, and protecting your peace without disconnecting from the people you love. We explore self-advocacy, nervous system awareness, relational triggers, and how to create healthier connections rooted in honesty, compassion, and self-trust. This episode is for anyone who feels activated, drained, or challenged in relationships with loved ones, and is learning how to stay connected to themselves while staying in relationship with others.

18. When Women Gather: Rebuilding the Village with Lauren LaRose

In this episode, I’m joined by Lauren LaRose, clinical herbalist, founder of the Wild Rose Apothecary, and the visionary behind the Wild Rose Festival, an annual gathering that brings together 1,000 women in celebration of connection, healing, and community. Lauren shares her journey of becoming a mother during the isolation of COVID, and how that experience sparked a deep desire to rebuild the village so many women are missing. What began as a personal need for connection has grown into a powerful movement for women to come together to dance, learn, breathe, and support one another in meaningful ways. We dive into the realities of being a busy modern woman: balancing motherhood, business, and big visions, and the importance of allowing ourselves to be supported. Lauren speaks candidly about learning to receive help, and how that shift not only nourishes her, but ripples outward into her family, her work, and her wider community. This conversation is a reminder that we are not meant to do life alone. If you’ve been craving deeper connection, this episode will inspire you to seek out, or create, your own village.
