We are the Medicine is a place where we share ancient stories for modern times. In this episode, host Erica Thibodeaux, MS, LPC, shares about the hungers we all experience. She dives into the rich and wild realm of nature that connect us to who we really are. In nature, the influences of others are stripped away and we can sense ourselves again. In a time when we often don’t know who to trust, we can listen to the wisdom of our own knowing. The parts of us that are revealed when we connect to nature.
