124. Self Care is Community Care is Earth Care: Dalee Ella on Self Care with Herbs


Listen Later

Dalee Ella is an Artist exploring themes of interconnection, land based relating and relationship. She lives and works on Bandjalang country in Northern NSW, Australia.


Dalee was my first guest on this segment back in November 2022- a time when she felt hugely connected to the earth and her garden which was inspiring her creativity and her work. She was excited to be beginning a collaboration with Clarey from Gwyllem Clothing (now Storyline).


This conversation is a full circle moment where Dalee reflects on her journey over the past 2 years, from launching her clothing line with Clarey, taking their collections on the road, experiencing a period of huge growth which culminated in a time of emotional and physical burn out.


Dalee shares the shifts in their business, her personal life and her health that were necessary as they grappled with a frenzy of creativity alongside unrealistic deadlines and an inherently flawed system that doesn't make space for the holistic needs and wellbeing of any human.


We speak about Dalee's transition into perimenopause and the impact this transformation had on her work, her relationships and her health.


And we have the most beautiful conversation about two of my favourite adaptogens- Withania and Tulsi.
