#112: In this episode, Frauke discusses what it means to be a smeller, why we should all be one, and what steps we can take to becoming one.

Frauke encourages listeners to prioritize their sense of smell and become 'smellers' to connect with the world on a deeper level. She provides practical steps to shift our identity towards being a smeller, such as focusing on smelling during daily activities, replacing sight-centric activities with smelling activities, and adding smelling breaks to our day.

Candace explains how her background as a dessert chef and floral designer has informed her work as a perfumer.

Candace reveals what "creation" and "beautiful things" mean to her, and how she took the leap into making perfumes. She gives her thoughts on what artisan perfumery can add to the conversation and why they deserve a seat at the table. Candace also gives her view of the genderization of perfumes, and why we should move away from those note lists. She also shares her creative process, who she creates for, and how she wants people to feel when they wear her perfumes. Whether you create perfumes or simply enjoy wearing them, this conversation will leave with scent provoking new perspectives.

#108: In this episode, Frauke sits down with Dr. Kelly Ablard to talk about their new children's picture book No Place for Plants. The co-authors share how they conceived of writing the book, what the catalysts were that inspired them, and why the book meets the moment we find ourselves in. They explain why conservation and smelling are a perfect pair to encourage both child and adult to be more aware, get inspired, take action, and ultimately advocate for the plants. They discuss the concepts of Plant Awareness Disparity (PAD), Nature Deficit Disorder, Cultural Sustainability, Grammar of Animacy and Oneness, each of which were central elements of the book. Furthermore, they talk about the importance of community gardens and why it's so critical that we all identify as Naturalists.
