This week, I'm sitting down with the lovely Marisa from Mother Bloom Collective. She shares her journey into holistic health and homeopathy while trying to conceive—and how it opened up a whole new way of understanding healing, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too. We talk about what homeopathy really is (spoiler: it's not just for the crunchy crowd), how it works with the body instead of against it, and why it can be such a powerful tool for women—especially during pregnancy, postpartum, and those tender early days of motherhood. Lean in as we explore the energetics of healing, why this isn't as “woo woo” as you might think, and some simple, doable steps to start incorporating homeopathy into your own medicine cabinet.Episode Show Notes on Living Wisely Well WebsiteShop homeopathy + fertility packages at Mother Bloom CollectiveConnect with Marisa on Instagram
