Sajah Popham of The School of Evolutionary Herbalism examines two often-overlooked branches of the Western healing tradition: alchemy and medical astrology. He traces their history, explains their philosophy, and explores how they are essential to a contemporary approach to working with herbs and people. Here's what you'll learn: Why medical astrology is a key framework for understanding constitution and health, and not simply for psychology and personal events How figures such as Paracelsus and Isaac Newton helped shape the historical legacy of alchemy What the Hermetic ideas of the logos and macrocosm and microcosm contribute to Western herbal thought How celestial and elemental correspondences can help interpret an herb's qualities and actions What spagyrics are and how spagyric preparations aim to preserve and reunite a plant's physical, energetic, and spiritual dimensions   We are currently running a new FREE workshop series!

His mission is to develop a comprehensive approach that balances the science and spirituality of plant medicine, focusing on using plants to heal and rejuvenate the body, clarify the mind, open the heart, and support the development of the soul. This is only achieved through understanding and working with the chemical, energetic, and spiritual properties of the plants. His teachings embody a heartfelt respect, honor and reverence for the vast intelligence of plants in a way that empowers us to look deeper into the nature of our medicines and ourselves. He lives on a homestead in the foothills of Mt. Baker Washington with his wife Whitney where he teaches, consults clients, and prepares spagyric herbal medicines.    ———————————— WANT TO FEATURE US ON YOUR PODCAST? ———————————— If you'd like to interview Sajah or Whitney to be on your podcast, click here to fill out an interview request form.

Pokeweed is poisonous—but that's not the whole story. What if knowing how to work with this potent plant could turn fear into respect, and even put a delicious wild green on your dinner table?As many of us learned growing up, poke (Phytolacca americana) is a plant that deserves a healthy amount of caution. It is poisonous, after all! But AC and Isaac Hill have spent years learning how to work with poke as food, medicine, and more, and they joined me in this episode to dispel some of the fear surrounding this generous and abundant plant.During our conversation, AC and Isaac explore the many faces of poke: a powerful lymphatic herb, an expectorant and immune stimulant, a traditional wild food, a striking dye plant, and a plant with a fascinating history of magical use. And perhaps most importantly, they share the practical knowledge that makes all the difference in preparing and working with pokeweed safely.Curious about bringing poke into your own kitchen? Be sure to download the beautifully illustrated recipe card for AC and Isaac's Poke Salad here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► How poke differs from other lymphatic herbs like cleavers and chickweed► Which part of the poke plant to harvest for food (and the physical clues that tell you when it's ready)► Tips for growing, harvesting, and extending the season for poke► The simple method that AC and Isaac use to turn this poisonous plant into a delicious spring green► How Isaac views the botany and actions of poke through an astrological lens► A clever way to make your tinctures more potent (for many plants, not just poke!)► and so much more…For those of you who don't know them, AC & Isaac Hill are the hosts of the Plant Cunning Podcast, where they have interviewed some of the most influential herbalists, permaculturists, astrologers and spiritual practitioners in the world.AC is a community herbalist, product maker, and co-director of the Actaea Institute for Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy.

In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and author Brent Freeman to unpack what happens when external success stops feeling like success. After building billion-dollar growth machines, Brent found himself burned out, disconnected, and asking a much bigger question: What if the life I'm building isn't actually the life I want? Brent shares how a “one-degree drift” away from yourself can quietly turn into burnout and how he began rebuilding his life around joy, presence, and intentionality. From canceling every meeting to watch a sunset to creating a daily “list of joy,” Brent explains the neuroscience, nervous system practices, and emotional alchemy tools behind his new book, The Alchemy of Joy. Whether you're navigating burnout, chasing your next achievement, or simply want to feel more present in your own life, this conversation is a reminder that joy is something you can invest in right now. Inside This Episode: When Success Stops Feeling Successful: Brent opens up about the hollow feeling that came after building massive businesses and achieving the external markers of success he once thought would create fulfillment. The One-Degree Drift: Learn how tiny, seemingly harmless choices can gradually move you away from your values, your joy, and yourself—and why noticing the drift early matters. Burnout Beyond Hustle Culture: Brent explores how burnout can hide behind ambition, impact, productivity, and achievement, and why it's not simply a matter of “working too hard.” The Return on Joy (ROJ): Discover Brent's framework for treating joy as an intentional investment with a compounding payoff in energy, fulfillment, presence, and quality of life. The One-Minute Window: Learn a simple 60-second practice for interrupting autopilot, regulating your nervous system, and coming back to the present moment. What to Do Now: Make Your List of Joy: Write down 5–10 things that genuinely make you feel alive, energized, connected, or playful. Then ask yourself: When was the last time I made time for these? Try the One-Minute Window: The next time you feel overwhelmed or triggered, stop for 60 seconds. Breathe. Notice what's happening in your body. Let yourself come back to the present before deciding what to do next. Invest in Your ROJ: Choose one small thing that brings you joy and intentionally put it on your calendar this week. Don't wait until everything else is done. Consider it a daily investment in your return on joy. About the Guest Brent Freeman is a visionary entrepreneur, speaker, and author of The Alchemy of Joy. He founded Roozt.com, Stealth Venture Labs, NonnaLive, and Stealth Impact Lab, building businesses and social-impact initiatives that have generated billions in revenue and reached hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. After years of pursuing growth, impact, and achievement, Brent walked away from the hustle and grind to dedicate his work to helping people rediscover joy through neuroscience, inspiration, meditation, and subconscious training. Today, he speaks, teaches, and coaches around his philosophy of the “Return on Joy,” the idea that intentionally investing in joy can create a compounding return across every area of life.

Well folks, as promised I am back again this week with the second conversation had between Aaron French and myself. We left off the previous convo talking about eating strange cuisine in the jungles of Africa and that right there was one of many reasons why I wanted to continue our conversation. In this continuation we start off by talking about how someone would start their spiritual journey and being pushed towards your purpose in life. We spent the rest of the episode talking about different dimensions, ancestral healing, dragons, vampires, werewolves, angels, the future, and so much more.

Butterfly pea is beautiful enough to steal the show—but what if its real magic has nothing to do with its color?In this episode, I'm joined by Clarenda Stanley (aka Farmer Cee), who completely changed the way I think about butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea).I'll admit that before this conversation, I mostly thought of butterfly pea as the plant that turns your tea an incredible cobalt blue. But Cee makes a compelling case for looking beyond the color. She shares why she loves butterfly pea for mood support, nourishment, and as a surprisingly versatile ally during the transitions of perimenopause and menopause. We also talk about its role as a nitrogen-fixing plant, its beautiful relationship with bees, and so many delicious ways to enjoy those vibrant flowers.During our conversation, Cee also takes us inside Green Heffa Farms and her philosophy of boutique farming, where quality, sustainability, and the well-being of the farmer come first. Along the way, she offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be an herbalist—and to build a life that sustains rather than drains.Cee shares her recipe for Herbal Cool Aid, a refreshing, vibrant blend of butterfly pea flower along with other cooling herbs. You can download your beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Three reasons butterfly pea can be so helpful during perimenopause► How to include butterfly pea in your diet—from teas to syrups to the most gorgeous ice cubes, and more!► What makes butterfly pea such a wonderful plant for the garden► Why Clarenda believes that herbal remedies should be beautiful and delicious (not just functional!)► Tips for running a thriving herbal business► And so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Clarenda “Farmer Cee” Stanley is the founder and CEO of Green Heffa Farms, a regenerative farm and natural wellness brand based in Liberty, North Carolina. Since launching the company in 2018, Farmer Cee has become a nationally recognized voice at the intersection of regenerative agriculture, climate resilience, and values-driven entrepreneurship. Green Heffa Farms is one of few farms in the United States to earn Certified B Corporation status, with several products also carrying Soil & Climate Health verification.Farmer Cee is also an award-winning fundraising and marketing executive. She has earned degrees in Marketing and Education, is a graduate of NC State Extension's Farm School, serves on the Southern SARE Advisory Council, and is the author of the book Black Girl's Guide to Building a Boutique Farm, which blends practical strategy with cultural insight for the next generation of farm entrepreneurs.I'm so grateful Cee shared her passion, wisdom, and very honest perspective with us. And I'm glad to say that for me, butterfly pea has officially graduated from “pretty blue tea” to a plant I want to get to know much better!----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

Trapping a moment of reality in time. Well, hey there. Welcome back. As someone who’s recorded over 300 of these episodes, I’ve become aware of something. And it might surprise you to know that I’ve listened to these, each one of them, probably at least twice. And no, it’s not because of some narcissistic need to hear my own lovely voice—why, thank you for saying that! It’s because I… I listen for errors, I listen for sound levels and things, and I listen for one other thing. And that’s the thing I’d like to talk about today. Trapping Moments of Reality in (Digital) Communication Like these short episodes, every time you send a text message or an email, you’re essentially trapping a moment of reality in time. You are suggesting or saying or conveying something that reflects who you are at that very moment. And the minutiae of that moment is magnified by the fact that everything is so fast and so instant. You can have a thought and then send off a text message in literally a second or two. And I’m sure you’ve read things about, you know, don’t send when you’re angry, reread something you’ve sent, if you have heightened emotions perhaps you should write it and then send it later, and so forth. And those are all related to the thing I’m conveying right now. Ink to Instant Messages In the olden days, and I mean the olden olden days, people would write on a piece of paper, and it would take some time to get to the subject. And by subject, I mean the recipient. Writing something in ink meant you were going to be really careful about it. In fact, you might say it out loud a few times before you put your pen to paper. If you’ve read Three Voices, it means you’re using your third voice, the one I’m using right now, to say things out loud so that your second voice isn’t talking directly to the paper. And that’s an interesting concept. Three Voices Concept and Unfiltered Social Media So let me branch off here for a second. So, in my book Three Voices, I say your first voice is your gut reaction, your knee-jerk reaction, your internal yes/no. It’s the part of you that always tries to answer correctly, and a lot of times we don’t listen to it. And I use the example of: “Should I have this cake?” Well, and your first voice is, “No, no.” And then you say, “But I’ve been good! It’s been a long time since I’ve had cake, even though I shouldn’t have it right now.” So, we tend to overrule our first voice sometimes, and that’s when we run into some problems. The second voice is the most complicated. It’s our inner monologue, but it’s also our inner dialogue. It’s the voices in our head. It’s the fight we had with our spouse. It’s the argument with a client. It’s an interaction with someone that was really distasteful that we play back over and over and over again in the shower. It’s the voice of a parent saying something that a parent should never say. It’s those kind of things. And when you let those voices speak directly to a piece of paper, it’s bad. It’s far, far worse when that voice communicates directly to an electronic medium. Ladies and gentlemen, I reveal to you: social media. Specifically, Twitter, things like that. When you’re sitting in front of a keyboard and you read something that immediately creates an emotional reaction out of you, and your second voice is in full effect, and it communicates directly with the keyboard, which communicates directly with the upstream reality of millions of people, you can see how that’s a bad thing. Timeless Content vs. Reacting to the Moment So putting all the negatives and warnings aside, let’s get back to the third reason of why I listen to my podcast. And that’s because I want to make sure the thing that I’m conveying is something that is beyond the moment. It’s not something that I say, “Hey, I was at the store today and someone stepped on my foot and here’s how I feel about that,” which is 80% of LinkedIn posts, sorry. I want it to be something useful. I want it to be something you can listen to a few years later. And to my positive surprise, I have found that pretty much for the most part, the things that I’ve recorded are things that I can actually recommend to people that are 5 years old. Why Every Text Message is a Historical Snapshot of Who You Are Can you say that for texts that you’ve sent? Can you say that for emails that you’ve sent? Can you say that for policies and decisions that you’ve sent? Well, you know, we are evolving people. We are people who do change, and hopefully we change our opinions based on new and exciting facts. I’d like to think that we don’t change our core beliefs, because those should be core. That… that’s our first voice. That’s our instinct, our morals, our ethics, things like that. But when we gather more data, we should be able to sort of alter our perspective on things. And in those cases, you may have text messages that don’t exactly reflect who you are. But my fascination in this particular episode is with the fact that regardless of what you’re saying, regardless of what you’re thinking, regardless of how much you’re micromanaging your emotions, every single time you hit send, it’s done. It’s gone. It’s trapped in time. You’ve trapped a snapshot of who you are in time. And that in and of itself is really fascinating, isn’t it? I mean, what other… what other way can we do that? Obviously, if you take video and whatever form of media you’re taking, you’re still trapping yourself in time—or at least who you were at that moment, what you believed at that moment, what you were trying to convey. Man, that’s a lot of weight on your shoulders when you just want to say, “Can you pick up some eggs?” Overcommunication, Digital Wisdom, and Evolving Your Message So what I’m saying is, I guess we… we have to consider that weight. We have to consider how amazing it is to be able to do that. If you’re someone who struggles with overcommunication—hello!—you struggle with sort of trying to predict what the other person is thinking. You try to predict what other questions they may have. Now, obviously that can work in your favor if you’re someone who, oh, I don’t know, has a podcast or writes books, because that way you get to address a lot of the things that you can’t because you’re not in a dynamic communication with someone. You’re actually in a, “Hey, listen to this,” and you don’t get a say in what I’m saying. But it also means you add extra information, or you adjust your information because you’re… you can… you can think to yourself, “Oh, wow, I phrased it that way because I didn’t want you to be upset. I phrased it that way because I really wanted to focus on this instead of the other thing, but now that I mentioned that, that’s all you’re focusing on.” And it’s not just for personal communication. Obviously, people who are good at marketing know this all too well. They know what to mention and what not to mention, they know how large a font should be because that’s the important part of it, etc., and so forth. When people look back on their communication, sometimes they’re amazed and sometimes they cringe. I mean, think about if you kept a diary or journal when you were younger, and now you read it right now. You may have said that, “Oh my God, I can’t believe I’m going to be 30 years old sometime, that’s old,” and now you’re… and now you’re twice that. Having a historical record like this is really interesting. I mean, granted, if as part of your job, if you look back at your historical record for 5 years, all you see is, “Here are the Ferguson files. Let me know if you have questions.” And it’s just that same email over and over again, not a lot to look at, not a lot to examine historically. But the way that you compose your proposal, the way that you address your clients, the way that you follow up, the documents you include, the wording on the document, those are all things that you probably evolve with. My suggestion to you is first of all, just think about the enormity of what happens when you send a text or an email or something, and you say, “Wow, this is a moment in time I’m trapping.” And then, think about your documentation. And finally, judging yourself based on what you know now is sometimes unfair. If you’ve written something, sent something, believed something, and you look back on yourself and go, “Wow, I was dumb.” No. You just didn’t experience the wisdom you have now. And hopefully, I just added to that wisdom. As always, thank you for listening. Take care. Thank you for listening as always. Go to markbradford.org to see all my author-related things.

In this episode, Minter Dial welcomes Elizabeth Brett, a former NBC news reporter turned expert in storytelling and authenticity. Drawing upon her rich background in media and her personal journey through motherhood and self-discovery, the conversation focuses on what it truly means to communicate with intention and to forge genuine connections—whether on stage, on camera, or in everyday life. The discussion explores the challenges of authenticity in a world driven by performance, as Elizabeth introduces her concept of “Story Alchemy,” a framework that encourages leaders to align their inner narratives with their outward expression. Delving into the nuances of emotional intelligence, trust-building, and the dynamic between performance and presence, Elizabeth sheds light on why sharing stories is fundamental to influence and memorability. A key theme that emerged is the interplay between vulnerability and sovereignty—how individuals can share their stories with integrity, set boundaries, and avoid the pitfalls of over-giving. The pair also discusses the pivotal life experiences that strip away the masks, allowing for personal transformation and deeper understanding of one's purpose and voice. For leaders navigating the complexities of communication, those interested in building trust on both an individual and large-scale level, or anyone seeking to cultivate authenticity in their storytelling, this episode offers invaluable insights and practical wisdom. Join Minter Dial and Elizabeth Brett as they challenge prevailing notions of performance and authenticity—and offer a fresh look at the power of presence in modern leadership and life.

He talked his way into the court of Louis XV, unsettled Casanova over dinner, and dabbled in alchemy and diplomatic intrigue. He's an eighteenth-century con artist, alchemist, spy, and, depending who you ask, an immortal ascended master still hiking Mount Shasta today.

In this episode of the Love Sober Podcast, Kate and Helen unpack that end-of-summer exhaustion and the strange, wobbly transition into autumn. They explore liminal spaces – the in‑between times when we've outgrown an old version of ourselves but aren't yet anchored in the new – and how this shows up in midlife, sobriety, grief, and the changing seasons. Kate shares the inspiration behind her new program Midlife Alchemy (starts September 21st 2026) , created for sober and sober‑curious midlife women who are navigating hormones, identity shifts, and life's big rites of passage. They talk about why rest is radical, how nervous system literacy can be a superpower, and the magic of women's circles as trauma‑informed, neuro‑inclusive spaces for support and growth. If you're feeling tired, and wondering how to tend your nervous system instead of pouring a drink, this conversation offers compassion, practical tools, and a little midlife magic.

There's something almost impossible to ignore about bee balm (Monarda spp.). Its flowers burst open like fireworks, its aroma is unmistakably spicy, and when you taste it, you can feel its warmth almost immediately. But this is where bee balm gets especially interesting: despite its intense hotness, it can be an excellent herb for actually dispersing heat.In this episode, Ashley Elenbaas and I explore this beautiful contradiction and the many ways it shows up in bee balm's medicine. We talk about why she keeps dried bee balm right alongside her cooking spices, how a late-night burn led her to reach for this plant, and why she considers small, regular amounts of bee balm to be a great way to support a nervous system that's prone to overwhelm.Ashley also shares her recipe for Bee Balm Honey, a super simple (and delicious!) way to bring bee balm's spiciness into your own kitchen. Download your beautifully illustrated recipe card here!By the end of this episode, you'll know:► The clues to bee balm's medicine that are hidden in its dragon-shaped flowers► Why bee balm is particularly suited for situations where you need to release excess heat (whether that means fevers, burns, tension, or even those “big feelings” that can build up!)► What “diffusive” means in herbal energetics—and what makes bee balm an amazing herb for understanding it► Six herbal preparations for working with bee balm, from tea to culinary use and more!► How Ashley works with bee balm as an aromatic ally for sleep► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Ashley Elenbaas, M.Sc., RH (AHG), is a clinical herbalist, educator, and founder of Sky House Herb School. With over 20 years of experience teaching herbal medicine, yoga, and the healing arts, she weaves together traditional Western herbalism, plant energetics, nature-based spirituality, and community care.

 Has your life ever been changed by a plant? When I ask this question of a group of herbalists, most say yes. But if you're just taking your first steps on the plant path, your answer might be no, or not yet.    To the skeptic, the entire premise sounds completely ridiculous. How exactly could a lowly, unintelligent plant change your life? What is this life transformation that can occur by working with a medicinal plant? How does it work, and is it even real?    In this post, I'm getting personal, which I don't usually do, but I want to illustrate the principle of a plant changing a person's life by sharing my own story with Wood Betony (Stachys officinalis) and the profound impact this plant has had on my life.    In this post, you'll learn: How my experience with Wood Betony shaped my understanding of transformational healing Why herbal medicine can be approached as support for the body, psyche, and spirit How synchronicity and intentional relationship can guide work with medicinal plants The role of Wood Betony in grounding, digestive support, and self-confidence  How plants may help turn past struggles into insight, growth, and wholeness

From A Glossary of the People, Places, and Events of Alkyon  Arcana— The collective term for magical and magically enhanced artifacts, equipment, and substances. Arcana range from the simple, such as a basic potion (see "Alchemy"), to the legendary, such as a powerful and storied armament (see "The Wall of Denoria"). Throughout the history of the Stormwrought Shores, arcana of all varieties have been crafted, discovered, lost, found, destroyed, and transformed—and their use and misuse have been both boon and bane to hero, cause, and empire.   This week, on The Stormwrought Shores, The Jewel of Ouvira, part 3.    Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/unexploredcast Follow us on Tumblr: https://unexploredcast.tumblr.com/ Art by Ben Music by Andrew: https://andrewperricone.bandcamp.com/ Transcripts: https://unexploredcast.tumblr.com/transcripts

Brent Freeman had the marriage, the money, and the Instagram feed to prove he was crushing it — and one morning in 2018, standing at his window in San Francisco, he contemplated ending his life. In this episode, David Bach sits down with Brent, entrepreneur and author of The Alchemy of Joy, to talk about the sunset that changed everything and the framework he's used to help thousands of people go from burned out to genuinely joyful. They dig into why joy works like compound interest — small daily investments that build into a life well lived — and why so many of us defer our happiness for some elusive "one day." Brent breaks down the Reset Breath, a 60-second technique to calm your nervous system in any moment, the One Minute Window practice of Stop, See, Soften, and his ITT Framework: Invest in joy, Train your brain, Take bold action. It's a conversation about presence, hardship, and why change is possible at any age. Brent's new book, The Alchemy of Joy, is out September 15, 2026 – pre-order it now.

Your self image shapes what you believe is possible. Your subconscious programming influences how you show up. And sometimes the life that looks right on the outside is completely misaligned with who you actually are. In this episode of the Power & Purpose Podcast, Vanessa Soul sits down with mindset and self image coach Mariko Fujimura, founder of Kiseki Institute, to explore identity, subconscious programming, authentic alignment, and what it really takes to create a breakthrough from the inside out.

Hibiscus is tart, cooling, beautiful—and so much more than just a refreshing summer drink.Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) may be best known as the star ingredient in the tart, ruby-red beverage called jamaica or sorrel, but there is so much more to this beautiful plant! In this episode, Rebecca Fils-Aimé takes us beyond the familiar drink to explore hibiscus as food, medicine, and cultural tradition. Drawing on her Haitian heritage as well as her own herbal studies, Rebecca shares why she loves hibiscus for its cooling, soothing, mucilaginous qualities, how she works with it for cardiovascular and respiratory support, and so many ways to work with the flowers (well, the calyxes to be exact!) and leaves in both the kitchen and the apothecary.Rebecca also shares her recipe for Sorrel Cough Syrup, a simple combination of hibiscus and warming Caribbean spices designed to soothe that irritating, dry cough. (Or if you don't have a cough, just add it to sparkling water for a tasty, refreshing treat!) You can download your beautifully illustrated copy here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Why hibiscus is particularly beneficial for dry, irritated respiratory tissues► Several ways to weave hibiscus into your diet—both sweet and savory!► What makes hibiscus so supportive for the heart and cardiovascular system► How this gorgeous flower became such an integral part of Caribbean culture► Surprising ways to include hibiscus in your beauty routine► …and so many more ways to work with hibiscus beyond just a pretty pink drink!For those of you who don't know her, Rebecca Fils-Aimè is a community herbalist, public health practitioner, and health and wellness coach whose practice lies at the intersection of food, kitchen remedies for health, and Black culinary herbalism history. Through her herbalism practice and research, she shares traditions from Black and Indigenous Caribbean people to highlight their contributions to herbalism and food history. Her practice is also guided by the seasons, her Haitian culture, and her Southeastern upbringing. She has a passion for educating communities about herbs as preventative medicine, herbs as self-care, and herbs in food as an accessible way to engage in herbalism.Hibiscus is one of those plants that reminds us that food and medicine don't have to be separate. Sometimes the most nourishing herbal allies are the ones we already know and love—and sometimes, they're hiding in a tall glass of ruby-red refreshment, so perfect on a hot summer day.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

From dropping my youngest daughter off at college to navigating comparison, motherhood, vulnerability, and the emotions of entering a new era, I share what this season is teaching me about letting go, trusting what's next, and having the courage to fully jump into your life. We also explore the idea of alchemy, how the things you focus on shape the way you experience difficult seasons, and how to know when life is asking you to pivot versus stay and transform where you are.I also share more about Soul Writing Out Loud and why reconnecting with your intuition, higher power, and inner guidance can help you stop outsourcing your answers. If you're navigating change, emotional overwhelm, fear, uncertainty, or a season where you no longer recognize the version of yourself you used to be, this conversation is an invitation to reclaim your sovereignty, choose what you want to focus on, and step more fully into the next chapter of your life.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) The Cold Plunge Wake-Up Call(1:59) Welcome to The Danette May Show(3:50) Eclipse Energy, Emotions & Vulnerability(7:33) Entering a New Era & Asking Bigger Questions(9:19) Stop Dipping Your Toe In and Jump(11:28) Dropping My Daughter Off at College(15:57) Comparison, Motherhood & Feeling Inadequate(23:43) Turning Hard Seasons Into Alchemy(25:47) Should You Pivot or Alchemize?(31:02) Soul Writing Out Loud & Inner Guidance(34:14) What You Focus On Expands(36:08) Reclaiming Your Sovereignty(37:14) Closing Thoughts & Resources

What if the story you've been hiding is actually your greatest asset? In this episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with Elizabeth Brett — former NBC television reporter turned storytelling authority and creator of Story Alchemy™ — to explore how owning your story can transform your confidence, your connections, and your entire next chapter. Elizabeth shares the near-death experience in the ocean that rewrote the course of her life, why women have been the story keepers for thousands of years, and how to uncover the “Million Dollar Story” hiding in your most ordinary moments. You'll also learn her Sovereignty Filter for knowing which stories are ready to share, and the question that started it all: who were you before the world told you who to be? If you've ever thought your story isn't “special enough,” consider this conversation your permission slip to start telling it.What You'll Learn•     Why your personal story — even the messy parts — is your greatest asset for connection and authority•     How to find your “Million Dollar Story” in the small, ordinary moments of your life•     The Sovereignty Filter: how to know when a story is ready (and in integrity) to share•     Why storytelling is in women's DNA — and how to reclaim your voice as a natural storyteller•     How stories work on the brain — people remember stories about 60% more than facts

In this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna sits down with Morgan Grace, founder of Alchemy Collective, to explore the nonlinear journey that led her from music and multiple college majors to a career in trauma therapy. Morgan shares how her own healing journey ultimately reshaped her direction and inspired the work she does today. She also opens up about building Alchemy Collective and how her personal experiences have shaped the way she supports individuals, couples, and families navigating complex trauma and mental health challenges.Together, Joanna and Morgan discuss the pressure to have life figured out early, why young adulthood is meant to be a time of trial and error, and the importance of giving ourselves—and the young adults in our lives—the flexibility to change course while figuring out who we are. Morgan offers a refreshing reminder that changing your mind doesn't mean you're falling behind; it can simply be part of honing the compass toward what's right for you.Morgan's Resources: Alchemy Collective WebsiteContact Alchemy CollectiveAlchemy Collective on InstagramAlchemy Collective on FacebookAlchemy Collective on LinkedInMorgan Grace on InstagramMorgan Grace on LinkedInEmail: morgan@alchemycollectiveaustin.comConnect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail: joanna@lilleyconsulting.com#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #MorganGrace #AlchemyCollectiveAustin #TraumaTherapy #TraumaTherapist #ComplexTrauma #TraumaHealing #TraumaRecovery #AlchemyCollective #MendTheMender

This week Merck (known as MSD in Europe) and Moderna announced that a personalised cancer vaccine had significantly improved the outcomes of melanoma patients. Is the era of the cancer vaccine, at last, upon us? What does that mean? Anne Willis, a cancer cell biologist at the Medical Research Council, joins us to discuss. In just a few weeks the Royal Society will be putting out the red carpet as the most coveted prize in non-fiction science is about to be awarded. We will be speaking weekly to the shortlisted authors for the Royal Society Trivedi Book Prize, and we are starting with Kit Chapman, author of the Age of Alchemy. Plus, Penny Sarchet has, like an alchemist of old, been scouring the most obscure texts and journals to bring us the latest science knowledge.

What if a plant we spend so much time pulling off our trees and walls is actually a forgotten medicinal ally?Common ivy (Hedera helix) has a complicated reputation. It's abundant, beautiful, and deeply woven into the European landscape, yet many people think of it as an invasive to eradicate rather than something to learn from. In this episode, herbalist Luke Ó hErodáin reveals the forgotten medicinal traditions surrounding common ivy and why he believes this plant deserves a second look. He shares how ivy became one of his most trusted lung herbs, the traditional preparations that caught his attention, and the fascinating history behind its use in European medicine.Luke also shares the story behind the research project that has become one of his major passions: uncovering and translating the work of the French eclectic herbalists. These forgotten practitioners were exploring whole-plant medicine, sophisticated preparations, and local substitutes for exotic herbs at a time when the medical world was rapidly changing. Their work raises some fascinating questions about what we've lost—and what we might rediscover by looking backward.Ready to explore ivy beyond the garden wall? Luke has shared not one, but four recipes for working with this remarkable plant! You can download your beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► What makes ivy such a powerful herbal ally for people with deep congestion in the lungs► How Luke works with ivy for burns, scars, cellulite, and other skin concerns► Important cautions to consider before using ivy internally► Surprising ways French herbalists used phytochemistry to inform their herbal practice in the early 1900's► How the rise of modern industrial medicine changed the herbalism landscape practically overnight► and so much more…For those of you who don't know him, Luke Ó hErodáin (Luke Heron), Dip Herb Med, is a medical herbalist based in Ireland and operating his clinic in Cork. He is the current lead of the Herbal Alliance and is actively engaging with professional herbalists in the UK and Ireland to navigate through this digital age through the Herbal Alliance.Before becoming a herbalist, Luke spent a decade in the media and technology industry working in film production, digital marketing and tech deployment, a background that informs his critical perspective on AI and digital ethics. He is an independent researcher focusing on the French Eclectic Doctors, led by Dr. Henri Leclerc (who likely coined the term ‘phytotherapy') and is actively preserving and translating their works. Luke is a foraging instructor dedicated to bridging traditional local and indigenous Irish plant wisdom with modern insights.I hope this conversation leaves you looking a little differently at the plants you pass every day—and perhaps a little more curious about the herbal wisdom hiding in old books, forgotten traditions, and even the plants we've learned to overlook.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

Herbal medicine is most powerful when it is specific, and it's important to look at the underlying patterns that shape how a condition appears in an individual. One diagnosis may have many causes and manifest as a variety of tissue states, depending on the person. However, some conditions carry a regular, recognizable energetic and humoral pattern. Hyperthyroidism is a classic condition that fits this description. One of the best herbal remedies for hyperthyroidism is Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis). In this post, we'll explore hyperthyroidism, heat patterns, and how Lemon Balm can be an important part of the treatment protocol.

For centuries, alchemists searched for ways to transform ordinary materials into something extraordinary. This episode explores the history of alchemy, its roots in ancient cultures, and the ideas and practices that spread across Europe, Asia, and the Islamic world.

It's steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!

There is an initiation happening right now, and it is not a soft one. Women everywhere are being cracked open, deconditioned, and asked to hold both grief and love in the same hands. I believe this is exactly the work Gabi has spent her life inside of, and this conversation proved it within the first few minutes. Gabi is an intuitive writer, speaker, and guide, and the moment we started talking about sacred union, feminine-masculine polarity, and what women actually need in this threshold we're in, I knew this one was going to go somewhere I didn't expect. It did. We got into sacred anger, the wounds women carry in their wombs, and why so many of us are choosing celibacy right now instead of settling for less. In this episode we explore:
