In this episode, Tonya is joined by clinical herbalist and holistic health educator Rachelle Robinett for a deep dive into herbal medicine, nervous system healing, and the real meaning of wellness. Together, they explore how plants can support our physiology and emotions, what it means to become truly resourced from within, and how we can shift our relationship with stress, regulation, and even capitalism. Rachelle shares her personal journey of rebuilding her system after burnout, her unique lens on herbalism as both art and science, and how self-awareness is the truest root medicine of all.

Topics Covered:

• Rachelle’s transition from burnout to body-based healing
• Herbs and adaptogens for nervous system support
• Reframing “healing” through self-regulation and resourcing
• The body as nature: plants, physiology, and emotional awareness
• When wellness becomes performance and how to return to truth
• Why healing is less about fixing and more about remembering
