We discuss connection to nature, communal living, family structures, male and female roles, and how to apply the wisdom of these tribes in our broken, modern society. This is an episode you will want to listen to again and again because it is so fascinating!

Corey and I are thrilled to be back in 2024 with more educational, interesting, and fun episodes for you! We wanted to start the year off by learning all about herbalism. Lisa Masé is a holistic nutritionist, herbalist, and parent homesteading on the traditional lands of the Abenaki people in Vermont. In this episode, we discuss the basics of herbalism, growing herbs, the differences between tinctures, salves, and tonics, the best herbs to have in your medicine cabinet, and much more. Grab a pen and paper because you will want to write down everything Lisa says, especially towards the end of the episode! Our interest grew as the conversation progressed, and we plan to have her on for part 2.
