Hello! Welcome to Feels and Flowers!

This week we are talking about putting faith into action. In this instance, it is in following the call of God to go wherever He leads you. To do so we delve into Genesis 12 when God calls Abraham (then known as Abram) to leave his land, his people, and his family to go to a new place that God would give him.

The flower of the week is Frankincense, which isn't a flower, or a plant, or a fruit rind, but an aromatic resin rich in history. Learn about it, its uses in aromatherapy, and also why our desire for it is endangering this precious commodity that has been around for more than 5000 years. Yikes!

Hello! Welcome to Feels and Flowers, where your host finally has had enough and decides to come clean about something she's been trying hide for a while. Clickbait? Of course not! She'd never!

We are done at last with Noah! Or... are we...? We'll see. This week we are talking about Faith. To do so we delve into Genesis 11, the construction of the Tower of Babel and what it represented. You host gets the chance to dust off her civil engineering undergraduate education and drones on and on about masonry, high rise structures, and why in a strictly engineering standpoint, the project was doomed to fail, much like our Christian walk is bound to fail if we rely on religion to accomplish what only faith can do.

The flower of the week is the geranium. Learn about its history, its uses in aromatherapy, and also why the geranium you know and love is probably a big fat fake. Find geranium blends for your next spa-night at https://feelsandflowers.com/featured-flowers/geranium/

Welcome to Feels and Flowers, a podcast where your host gets really enthusiastic about plants, their history, and their benefits and spends way too much talking about olives. Is she obsessed? Probably, but you will too when you learn about the wonderful properties of olive oil.

This week's podcast is based on Genesis 8. Yes, we are still hanging out with Noah. It seems like we've been hanging out with him for months and months, but it's only been a few weeks. During quarantine, time seems to warp and months last decades. It's not just you--its a proven fact, didn't you notice how long March felt?

Bear with your host as she goes back in time to share with you about an unsavory time in her life, and you will learn about how you can learn how to get through this and any other crisis with grace. All it takes is a new perspective, a sense of purpose, and an unshakeable trust in an unseen hand that leads you. Easy peasy, right? (I'll explain. I promise!)

A shoutout this week to my sister, Liz (yes, the very same one from last week) who helped edit this week's episode. She is the best and as you guys seemed to really enjoy that episode, I'll bribe her into returning to the podcast soon.

Welcome to Feels and Flowers! We're switching it up a bit this week and interrupting our study of Genesis to talk about Essential Oils. This week I am joined by the wonderful Liz who happens to 1: Be AWESOME, 2: Be my sister, and 3: Be stuck with me during quarantine. HA!

After a rough start (hear the outtakes in the end) I'll share with you some very important things about Essential Oils, how they must be used safely, what oils you need to start your essential oil journey, and much more!

As ever, if you need to get in touch or if you have questions for our next Essential Oil Talk, email me at [email protected], follow me on Instagram @feelsandflowerspodcast and on Twitter @feelsandflowers.

Ladies and Gentlemen we are in the midst of the Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic. And we are being told to stay indoors to flatten the curve. And people left and right are panicking because of the quarantine and the lack of testing kits, and shortage of medical supplies, and things look really bleak, and.... and... Well, your host finds it all a bit overwhelming and a tiny bit scary, but rest assured, she presents to you a positive perspective on this... because even THIS insanity will end. This week we are on Genesis 8: Noah's time in the ark, and.... I could not have planned the timing on this better *facepalm*

Welcome all! Feels and Flowers is back after two weeks of silence! This week your host steals quotes from the internet and talks about dreams and your purpose in life. She also talks about myths that keep us from getting anything done, and a very important thing you need to do with a hammer. She expounds on how it is so easy to deliver a message of mediocrity in this day and age, and speaks with great candor against following supposed "omens" and "signs" from God. Do you lack a definite purpose, vision, or big dream in your life? Don't worry, here at Feels and Flowers we got answers for you.

The "flower" of the week is the Cedarwood Atlas. Find out about the amazing properties of the essential oil and how it can be used. (Hint: It has been said that it acts as an aphrodisiac. Wooo!)

Content Warning for this episode: Violent death, Cancer.

Welcome to Feels and Flowers, episode 7. A podcast where it is perfectly okay to lose one's sh*t while recording and where your host will weep halfway through. Sorry, this episode got a little too emotional. This week we continue our snail's pace journey through the book of Genesis. Chapter 6 deals with the wickedness of the world before the great flood, and God's decision to wipe out every creature on it. Ooof. How can one deal with the idea of hell/destruction of sinners?  Can we find grace and love and beauty in this passage? I say yes. Today's flower is a plant called Absinthe Wormwood. Learn what it is, its history, and ways in which you can use it! 

This episode is dedicated to Janet, my supervisor and friend from work. She shared with me a Psalm that went a long way in helping me prepare for this episode.

Also, a huge shoutout to Sofia C. from Texas! Thank you for your friendship, your words of encouragement and the lovely quotes you sent my way, as well as your continued support!

Welcome to Feels and Flowers, episode 6. This week we continue our journey through the book of Genesis.

Welcome to Feels and Flowers, a Christian podcast where your host sometimes has to wing it. No notes, just me talking [please don't go away]. This week: listener mail!! Shoutout to Hazel A.! Also, two types of brains, unacceptable produce, and why God probably disapproves of all our pious churchgoing. 

This week’s podcast is based on Genesis 4—Cain and Abel. This is my take on it and what it tells us about God's heart. The flower of the week is actually a fruit pit: Apricot Kernel Oil! Learn about it here and at https://feelsandflowers.com/

Welcome to Feels and Flowers, a Christian podcast where your host indulges in a bit of nostalgia and pulls out lessons about God wherever she can. This week I tell you about ridiculously cute nicknames, disobedient children, misadventures when learning to drive, and...fathers. And of course I also expound at great length about flowers. This week it is a small flower called bearberry, though I knew of it as pingüica when I was growing up..

This week’s podcast is based on Genesis 3—the fall. This is part 2 of my take on it and what it tells us about the character of God. There are no flower recipes this week, but I will post on the website safety guidelines and precautions when dealing with essential oils.
