Hey everybody! Episode 172 of the show is out. This episode is a podcast I was interviewed on called Embracing the Mystery with Dani Rhem. Dani had reached out to me a while back with interest in my work and was very kind to invite me on her podcast. She has beautiful presence and I was really happy with her questions and the depth of this interview. We spoke primarily about my work with the medicine of trees and tobacco. I hope you all can gain some insights and please consider supporting her work and great podcast as well. As always, to support this podcast, get early access to shows, bonus material, and Q&As, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy!
