I am extremely proud and excited to share this latest episode with you! I met Melanie St. Ours about a year and a half ago when I did a course on ancestral healing that she co-taught and looking back now I think that really was the gateway that got me into herbalism. This is a really beautiful interview in which she shared her perspective on chronic illnesses, asking for help, working with trauma and herbalism. Enjoy and check out her free Youtube series on the foundations of healing!

My first ever podcast episode! This is me chatting about my story, how I started my web design business and then Daydreaming Wolves, how I dropped out of uni three times before finally graduating and how I came to love plants so much. There are also some thoughts on the politics of healing, ethical tarot readings and accessibility. Enjoy!
