What if the reason your body won't cooperate isn't about what you're doing — but about whether your nervous system feels safe enough to heal?
This week I'm joined by Natasha Sidoti — naturopath, herbalist, and one of the most quietly perceptive practitioners I've spoken with. We explore the role herbal medicine plays in giving the nervous system a genuine reprieve, the herbs she reaches for first, the vagus nerve and breath, and what she calls a relationship with the plants — something that sounds unusual to a Western ear, and makes complete sense once she explains it. We also go into the patterns she notices in women who put their own needs consistently last, and what quietly shifts when that finally changes.
Warm, unhurried, and genuinely one of my favourite conversations.
