Tune into this transformative chat with Robin Rose Bennett, a brilliant herbalist and storyteller, steeped in Wise Woman wisdom. We celebrated the spring equinox, a time for renewal, and dove straight into how we connect with plants for deep healing.
 
Robin's journey into herbalism, guided by nature's wisdom and spiritual mentors, really hit home for me. She stressed the importance of nourishing connections with nature, especially asking plants for permission before harvesting. 

Her insights on healing herbs like Hawthorne and Oatstraw opened up new paths for both physical and spiritual healing. It was more than a talk; it was a reminder of the intertwining of nature, personal growth, and activism in our continuous journey of self-discovery.

In this episode I did a little pod-swap with my good buddy Mason of the Herb Rally Podcast, and he had me on an episode of the Herbalist Hour. 

We talked about my time running of Mountain Mel's, my herbal products company & how Mason & I met over 10 years ago through that.  l shared stories of my journey into herbalism and my experiences owning an apothecary tea & smoothie shop, and my herbal product line. I even talked about the triumphs and struggles along the way. We chatted about the importance of understanding the medicinal benefits of herbs and their role in healthy living, and the importance of herbal education.

Of course, Mason wanted to know what I’m up to with my current projects, including my mentorship program for moms – Apothecary Momma, and her upcoming Holistically Healthy Families Summit. 

Oh ya, and herbs! We talked about HERBS! Things like the varying medicinal benefits of herbs like plantain, rosemary and ashwagandha, and the need for more herbal medicine makers.
