Emily also offers thoughtful reflections on knotweed's controversial reputation, revealing how this much-maligned plant may have more to teach us about cooperation, resilience, and reciprocity than many of us realize.Japanese knotweed also makes a delicious wild food!

Victim mentality is something we should all have compassion for, as it's the way most of us are programmed from the start.Victim mentality is “poor me” thinking, feeling like life is against you. It's a passive, disempowered state where one lacks agency and personal responsibility.Often, when we are stuck in victim mentality, life doesn't feel good at all. We are stuck in a state of disappointment, depression, frustration, and often misery.We can feel disconnected from our power and even life force energy.I was in victim mentality for years and have a ton of compassion for those who are in it. I was forced to break free in 2016 with my most intense dark night of the soul. In this episode, I speak about how to break out of victim mentality in a way such that we don't lose our self-compassion (or compassion for others).Personal responsibility is something we learn to step into adulthood, and this teaching should not be applied to children.I would love to hear your thoughts on this one, as this teaching can trigger a lot of people! I wouldn't go there if I didn't truly believe that it is one of the most important lessons I've learned in my almost 50 years here.Please comment below and let me know what you think.—Join us for Alchemy of the Heart - starts June 22!https://love-evolved.mykajabi.com/alchemy-of-the-heart-liveMy Story, Part 1: Healing from AbuseMy Story, Part 2: Recovering from Divorce--About me:My name is Leigh-Anne LoPinto, and my mission is to help co-create the new paradigm of relationships.

How do you start your day? Be honest… Do you greet the day with intention? Or does chaos reign each morning? It's no secret that many of us have aren't morning people, we'd rather hit the snooze button a few (dozen!) times than develop a morning routine. Some of us habitually reach for our phones before we've barely opened our eyes. Unfortunately, our reluctant waking may set us up for a less magical day and a less restful night. By creating a morning ritual infused with feminine energy, we give our parasympathetic nervous systems an opportunity to enter a rest & digest cycle. As we journey through the late spring woods, consider how you might revamp your own morning rituals. What am I reading?The Alchemy of Flowers by Laura Resauhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781400349098The Anatomy of Awakening: The Five Hidden Codes to Activate Self Healing, Unlock Your Higher Consciousness and Live Your Divine Destiny by Dr. Sue Morterhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781401998608https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Can't Hold Us by Macklemore What's for dinner?Lentil SaladIngredients:For the salad1 1/2 cups dry green lentils or 4 1/2 cups cooked/canned5 cups water1 medium english cucumber, diced1 cup diced small red onion1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced small1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley1/2 cup crumbled feta, optional I used Violife vegan feta3-4 cups arugula or baby spinach, optionalFor the dressing:1/4 cup olive oil3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice2 teaspoons agave2 teaspoons dijon mustard1 clove garlic, minced1 teaspoon saltfew shakes ground black pepperInstructions:Add the lentils and water to a large pot and bring to a boil.

Sajah Popham from The School of Evolutionary Herbalism explains why herbal remedies sometimes fail. The issue is rarely the herbs themselves. Instead, it's the intake process that misses critical details about the person and their tissue state. Through the lens of vitalist herbalism, Sajah breaks down what you need to do to refocus your intake sessions, so you can nail the remedy for your client every time.   Here's what you'll learn: Why choosing the wrong herb can worsen symptoms Why "good for" herbal thinking often leads to poor remedy selection How temperature, moisture, and tone influence pathology The five key observations used to assess tissue states How to use the OPQRST intake method in clinical herbalism Why symptom quality matters more than disease labels How aggravation and palliation reveal energetic patterns The role of constitution versus current imbalance How weather, seasons, and environment affect tissue states Why tongue diagnosis is one of the most valuable assessment tools in herbal medicine How to think about energetics in a practical, grounded, clinical way The waitlist for the FREE Vitalist Herbalism Mini-course is OPEN NOW, sign up now to get the FREE workshop when it opens on June 15, 2026.   ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   Shop our herbal products:  https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

In this episode of the Finovate podcast, host Greg Palmer sits down with Juan Jurado-Blanco, Founder and CEO, and Armando Quintana, Chief Revenue Officer of Clockout, a Best of Show winner at FinovateSpring 2026 in San Diego. The conversation explores Clockout's innovative white-labeled earned wage access (EWA) solution designed specifically for community banks and credit unions. With seven in ten Americans living paycheck to paycheck, Clockout addresses a critical financial wellness need by enabling customers to access their earned wages the same day they work, rather than waiting for traditional bi-weekly pay cycles. The platform embeds seamlessly within existing digital banking experiences, integrating with major core providers like Q2, Jack Henry's Banno, and Alchemy, ensuring institutions can offer this service without requiring customers to use standalone apps or third-party accounts.Juan and Armando discuss what sets Clockout apart from competitors in the EWA space, emphasizing their compliance-by-design approach that uses real-time income data rather than AI predictions or analytics to compute available wages. Unlike other solutions that route funds through secured charge cards or intermediary accounts, Clockout advances money directly into customers' existing checking or savings accounts at their primary financial institution. The guests share valuable insights about their journey building partnerships with core banking providers, emphasizing the importance of persistence, relationship-building, and focusing on adding value to the ecosystem rather than pursuing purely transactional arrangements. They explain why community banks and credit unions are the ideal partners for this solution—these institutions have the trust, brand equity, and community focus needed to deliver meaningful financial wellness tools while competing effectively against neobanks like Chime and Dave.Looking toward the future, Juan and Armando paint an ambitious vision where no one banking in the United States has to wait for a paycheck again within the next 18 to 24 months. Beyond simply providing access to earned wages, they envision building infrastructure that allows these funds to work on autopilot for customers' maximum benefit—whether avoiding overdrafts, saving for retirement, investing, or paying off debts to eliminate fees. The ultimate goal is to help families living paycheck to paycheck avoid payday lenders, late fees, and overdraft charges through better cash flow management tools that reduce financial stress. For financial institutions, Clockout aims to provide community banks and credit unions with the technology they need to retain customers and compete head-to-head with fintechs, transforming complaints about losing customers into proactive solutions that strengthen primary banking relationships.More info:Clockout: https://www.joinclockout.com/; https://www.linkedin.com/company/joinclockout/Juan Jurado-Blanco: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juan-jurado-blanco-012b58121/Armando Quintana: https://www.linkedin.com/in/armando-quintana-606bb210/Greg Palmer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregbpalmer/Finovate: https://www.finovate.com; https://www.linkedin.com/company/finovate-conference-series/FinovateSpring: https://informaconnect.com/finovatespring/#Finovate #FinovateSpring #Banking #banks #creditunions #earnedwageaccess #EWA #payday #communitybanks #paycheck #financialwellness #corebanking #digitaladoption #podcast #fintechpodcast #financialservices #innovation #digitraltransformation #fintech #finserv #modernization

If you tend to avoid the tougher emotions of life - fear, shame, anger, and sadness, you'll want to listen to this one.On the flip side, if you don't avoid these emotions, but instead get stuck in them, then this is also for you.In this episode, I share an introduction to emotional alchemy - how we learn to work with our tougher emotions in a much more productive way, neither avoiding them, nor getting stuck in them. There is a third way, and this is the way that our soul is desperately asking us to learn, because it is the path of soul evolution.We go super deep into this together in Alchemy of the Heart, our next group starting on June 22.Alchemy of the Heart is now open for enrollment.

Why do driven, high-functioning people sometimes find themselves trapped in codependency  — bound to others in ways that feel obsessive, compulsive, and impossible to escape? In this episode, psychotherapist and Jungian analyst Gary Trosclair explores the hidden connection between compulsive personality types and codependent relationship patterns. Drawing on  attachment theory and Jungian psychology, Gary breaks down how the four compulsive types — the Mentor-Boss, the People-Pleaser, the Workaholic, and the Overthinker — each fall into codependent relationships  in their own distinct ways. You'll learn how popular culture romanticizes dependency, how your attachment style shapes your relationship habits, and why interdependence  — not codependence — is the healthier model for lasting love.

In this episode we explore Austrian economics, anarchism, and Bitcoin to transition from short-term impulsiveness to long-term thinking, with the goal of fixing broken systems.History of Alchemy.Subscribe to the YouTube channel.Subscribe to Rumble.Support the podcast.Music featured in this episode:Nameless Archivewww.namelessarchive.comnamelessarchive.bandcamp.com

This time on Mindrolling, Joseph, Noah, and Raghu explore: Buddhist philosophy on relative truth vs. ultimate truth Feeling the body as an energy field of changing sensations rather than something solidHow one can tend the heart in troubled timesThe manifestations of reactivity that make the heart retract Seeing our reality as a blip in cosmic time Inspiring awe through nature as a way to open and soften the heartThe book Fall of Civilizations by Paul Cooper Balancing the qualities of compassion and equanimity Investigating the phenomena of thinking rather than the content of a thought Lessons on direct experience from the Bāhiya SuttaAbout Joseph Goldstein:Joseph Goldstein has been leading insight and loving-kindness meditation retreats worldwide since 1974. He is a co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, where he is one of the organization's guiding teachers. In 1989, together with several other teachers and students of insight meditation, he helped establish the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies.“At those times, you're stronger on the compassion side and less strong on the equanimity side. When you see that, that can be a good reminder: ‘Oh yeah, this is what's happening; I need to go out and look at the stars'. We need both. Either one by itself can tend to states that may not be that helpful.” –Joseph GoldsteinAbout Noah Markus:Noah Markus is a content curator & archivist for Love Serve Remember Foundation.

What can an old fairy tale teach us about one of herbalism's most trusted plants?In this episode, herbalist and storyteller Juliet Howard shares one of my favorite stories, "The Wild Swans," an old tale in which stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) plays a central role in healing, devotion, and liberation. From there, our conversation unfolds into a rich exploration of nettle's gifts—from its nourishing minerals and restorative qualities to its role as a fiber plant, natural dye, and lifelong herbal companion.Through story, personal experience, and practical herbal wisdom, Juliet reveals why stinging nettle remains such a treasured herbal ally. Along the way, she offers a thoughtful reminder that some of the most meaningful healing happens slowly, through relationship, consistency, and practice.Juliet also shares her Heavy Nettle Daily Tonic, combining nettle with a few beloved herbal allies to make a deeply nourishing infusion. You can download your beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Why stinging nettle is a gateway herb for so many herbalists► How nettle is able to break real-life “enchantments” and help bring you back into yourself► Why nettle works best as a long-term herbal ally► A simple daily practice that can transform your relationship with this common weed► What it means to think of plants as friends (rather than simply as resources)► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Juliet's relationship to the wisdom and magic of the plant world began at a very early age while living on the wild cliffs of the Oregon coast. The purpose of her work is to help people come home to themselves through fostering deeper relationships to plants and the natural world. It is her strong conviction that plants are a powerful portal into the magic and wonder of being alive and embodied.With her book, The Girl Whose Garden Comes Alive, Juliet's intention is to help children cultivate lifelong reciprocal relationships with the green world, making them feel both empowered and connected to the land around them.This episode is part herbal conversation, part story hour, and entirely delightful. Whether you already love stinging nettle or are just getting to know it, you'll come away with a deeper appreciation for the many ways this humble plant nourishes, restores, and surprises us.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

Most herbal dosing strategies fail during acute infections, not because the herbs are wrong, but because the dosage, frequency, and timing are wrong. In this video, Sajah Popham from the School of Evolutionary Herbalism walks you through the four biggest mistakes herbalists make when treating infections, and how to create protocols that lead to better outcomes. Here's what you'll learn: Why herbal dosing for acute infections is different from chronic care The four most common mistakes people make when taking herbs during illness Why low-dose strategies often fail in the treatment of acute infections Suggested dosage and frequency guidelines for acute herbal protocols Why herbs need time and consistency to build up and be effective How to think about various herb classes as part of your treatment protocol The importance of organ-system specificity and tissue state energetics Why herbs don't work the same way antibiotics do, and how to manage client expectations Treating lingering symptoms  Supportive lifestyle practices that improve recovery outcomes Warning signs that indicate it may be time to seek medical attention   If you want to dive even deeper into this kind of information, you might really like our FREE Vitalist Herbalism Mini-course.  Join the waitlist to get the FREE workshop when it starts on June 15, 2026: http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/vitalist-herbalism-mini-course/waitlist/   ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   Shop our herbal products:  https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

Every practice owner has a moment when they do the math — and quietly wonder whether they'd be better off just becoming a barista. If you've been there, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, Tracy Cherpeski introduces the Alchemy of Change: a three-stage framework for understanding why the hardest seasons of practice ownership aren't signs of failure, but of real transformation in progress. Drawing on the medieval concept of alchemy and the surprisingly rich etymology of the word "quicksilver," Tracy breaks down calcination (the burning), dissolution (the messy middle), and coagulation (the solidification of something new) — and explains why you can't skip or force any of them. She also shares what it actually looks like on the other side: not perfection, not done, but a practice that fits the person you've become. And what a guide's real job is in this process — especially during the stage when most people want to quit. If you're questioning the call right now, this one is worth your full attention.

In this episode, we explore a question that feels more urgent than ever: what if healing ourselves and healing the planet are deeply interconnected?Monica is joined by author Lindsay Branham, whose book Heartwood: The Wisdom and Healing Kinship of Trees chronicles her personal journey through chronic illness and toward a deeper relationship with the natural world. Guest co-host Florence Williams, bestselling author of The Nature Fix, also brings her expertise on nature, health, and well-being to this wide-ranging conversation.Together, they explore the story behind Heartwood and the experiences that led Lindsay from a career as a war journalist and Emmy Award–winning documentary filmmaker to an exploration of ecology, spirituality, and embodied healing. The conversation delves into interoception – sometimes called our “eighth sense” – and how tuning into the body's internal signals may help us reconnect with ourselves and the living world around us.From chronic illness and nervous system regulation to reciprocal healing, belonging, and even erotic ecology, this episode examines why so many of us are searching for deeper connection in an increasingly disconnected world and what nature may have to teach us about finding it.

https://enlighteninglife.com/june-2026-energy-report/Some people say that a month with a ‘7' numerology is a time for introspection and quiet contemplation. I disagree. We had 2 full moons in May that stirred up a lot of energy and expanded May's Alchemy theme. With a full moon on May 31 just in time for our entry into June, this is a time for action with a specific purpose. June is for acting from within and that means in our self-interest. June is the 6th month and that means the year is half over. How has it been so far? If you feel like you have not accomplished anything, don't despair. This is one of those years where the second half is much different than the first half. And we are entering the second half with June as a bridge point and that's good because June has some wonderful energy and astro aspects. The numerology of June is a 7, 6th month in 2026 (1) is a 7. In numerology, this is the number of the spiritual journey, the spiritual master, and the integration of divinity and humanity. In tarot, it's the Chariot, representing action, movement, and self-direction. The Chariot card shows the driver in charge, holding the reins, controlling the horses, and moving in a direction of his choice. This is self-direction, self-awareness, and acting from empowerment. June's energy theme is Blessings and that is not the same as gifts and special benefits. Blessings mean something that benefits us in some way, which could involve the end of a relationship that should have been over years ago, or the realization that you need to remove your energy from people and situations who are never going to respond positively to you. Or it could mean the abrupt end of a situation you have avoided – like leaving a job that is toxic – so you can do something else. How do you receive your Blessings? You start with knowing what they are which is a balance between what you want and what you will allow yourself to receive – they are not the same thing. Activating your wealth frequency is not turning on a switch so you can make more money. It is activating, aligning with, and integrating the energies of joy, prosperity, and fulfillment.

In today's Bob Dylan Hotline, Laura and Rebecca get a little mystical. Bob Dylan himself has often described the creative process as magical, and through the years has also been drawn to mysticism like the Tarot. We talk about creativity as alchemy, which Tarot card Bob Dylan most identified with, and the spell that music can cast. The Tarot deck we're referring to is the Rider-Waite-Smith deck from 1909, illustrated by Pamela Coleman Smith.Listen to the podcast episode about Creation and Creativity in "My Own Version of You" and "Mother of Muses" here.If you have a question for us, send us a voice memo to bobdylanhotline@gmail.com.For anything else get in touch at itsdefinitelydylan@gmail.comYou can support Definitely Dylan on Patreon or with a one-off donation at buymeacoffee.com/definitelydylan.Book your Bob Dylan Walking Tour of NYC with Rebecca on ramblintours.com.Get your Definitely Dylan baseball cap here.

You've been warned off spells, rituals, and witchcraft your whole life and not always subtly. So what happens when we stop treating “woo-woo” like a guilty secret and start seeing it as a tool for self-trust, healing, and power? I'm going there, properly. I talk about alchemy as intentional time with yourself: not a rigid rulebook, not perfect ingredients, and definitely not outsourcing your power to anyone else.I share how I used to be genuinely frightened of anything labelled “spell work”, and why that fear wasn't just cultural conditioning it was rooted in childhood trauma and paranormal experiences. I also speak openly about the pain of not being believed, and how that kind of dismissal can keep us locked in fear. From that perspective, rituals aren't about performance. They're about nervous system honesty, intuition, boundaries, and finally giving yourself space to process what life has put on you and how this work helped me to heal from PTSD.We also get into the witch wound, why reclaiming “witch” can feel political, and why “love and light” spirituality doesn't serve women who need protection, justice, and discernment. I tell the 2021 story where a simple but fierce ritual coincided with a rapid shift after a long period of feeling stuck and nothing working. Plus how owning what you want can change your standards in your home, your relationships, and your whole sense of self.If you're searching for modern witchcraft for women, healing rituals, intuition-led spirituality, shadow work, manifestation alternatives, and grounded spell work, press play.

Suleika Jaouad says: "If you want to write a good book, write what you don't want others to know about you. But if you want to write a great book, write what you don't want to know about yourself." She's had a lifelong love for words, ever since she was a little kid. She began writing for public consumption in her twenties, after being diagnosed with serious cancer. From her hospital bed, she started writing for The New York Times, which led to her memoir, "Between Two Kingdoms", and her book on creativity, "The Book of Alchemy". What are the driving themes of our conversation? How do you free yourself to be creative How do you show up as your most unedited self on the page How do you fight writer's block How do you live with curiosity, wonder, and enchantment How do you truly open your eyes to the world This conversation will explore all of that.

In this episode, I'm telling the story of the biggest, scariest, most illogical investment I've ever made, and how it became one of the most transformative decisions of my life.After years of searching through books, mentors, plant medicine, nervous system work, and every modality I could find, one Facebook post cracked something open in me. What followed was a wild chain of synchronicities, a somatic dojo that felt like an ayahuasca ceremony without the medicine, and a body-led decision to invest more money than I had in my bank account.This is a story about capacity, money, nervous system expansion, trusting your body when your mind is screaming “absolutely f*cking not,” and the moment transformation begins: the transaction.A reminder that sometimes the thing that makes no logical sense is the exact portal your future self is asking you to walk through.Support the show✨ Thank you for listening!

What if one of the most beloved herbs for emotional healing isn't just uplifting—but helps us gently reconnect with parts of ourselves we've had to tuck away to survive?In this episode, I sit down with CoreyPine Shane to discuss mimosa (Albizia julibrissin), often affectionately referred to as the “tree of happiness.” And what a fitting name! Mimosa is celebrated as a joyful, uplifting herb, and is commonly reached for to help relieve anxiety and depression—though as CoreyPine shares in this conversation, its benefits are much more nuanced than that.CoreyPine also shares thoughtful insights about trauma, the body, and emotional healing, describing how herbs like mimosa may help us gently release what's been held for too long. Along the way, we explore what it means to work with plants not just as remedies, but as companions for moving through life's most tender and transformative moments—and the deep comfort of making connections with the living world around us.Don't miss CoreyPine's Peach Mimosa Elixir recipe! This fragrant, uplifting cordial might just be “happiness in a bottle”. You can download your beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► The important differences between mimosa flower and bark medicine► Eight different herbs to pair with mimosa (and when to reach for one over another)► What it means when emotions become “stuck” in the body—and why mimosa is such a helpful herbal ally for helping to move them along► Important considerations for when NOT to use mimosa► and so much more…For those of you who don't know him, CoreyPine Shane is Director of the Blue Ridge School of Herbal Medicine, and a core member of the mutual aid group, The Appalachian Herb Collective. He has been teaching and helping clients for 30 years, artfully blending Chinese and Western herbal traditions with a focus on local plants. His book Southeast Medicinal Plants covers how to identify, ethically harvest, and use the wild plants of the Southeastern United States.Whether you're navigating transition, tending old wounds, or simply delighting in the beauty of mimosa flowers, may this episode remind you that healing often begins with connection: to our bodies, to each other, and to the rest of the living world around us.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

 Let's be honest, fevers suck, and they make you feel miserable. But should we make the fever go away so we can feel better? Actually, no, that would be a mistake. Fever is an intelligent response of the body that should be supported rather than suppressed. It plays a very important role in healing the body, and this has shaped the perspectives and practices of traditional herbalists since humans first began using plants as medicine.    In this post, we'll discuss the purpose of fevers, how to treat them, and I'll delve into my top five diaphoretic herbs for supporting the body through the febrile response.   Option 2 for intro -  Febrile illnesses can be intense, prolonged, and very taxing, but from a clinical herbalism perspective, fever is not something to fear or to suppress. This article explores how to work with the intelligence of fever using traditional diaphoretic strategies to support resolution, rather than suppression.   Here's what you'll learn: Why fever is a vital, intelligent healing response and usually shouldn't be suppressed  The core principle of treating febrile conditions regardless of pathogen (virus, bacteria, etc.) The difference between stimulant and relaxant diaphoretics, and when to use each type How diaphoretics support the body by driving heat outward and relieving surface tension Why hot water and tea preparation enhance the effectiveness of diaphoretic herbs How to match herbs to the stage and presentation of the fever  A clinical breakdown of five key febrile remedies: Elderflower, Lemon Balm, Yarrow, Black Cohosh, and Boneset, and how and when to use each herb with preparation information Why the term "antiviral" is often misleading, and how to think more precisely about herbal actions How to formulate teas for palatability, strength, and compliance The role of fasting during fever and restoring digestion afterward Additional herbal allies from the kitchen and clinic for febrile support Other supportive therapies for fever A step-by-step therapeutic regimen for fever support and recovery Why suppressing a fever can prolong illness, and how proper herbal treatment can shorten its duration ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   Shop our herbal products:  https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

From clinical to spiritual perspectives, we don't just focus on what herbs are "good for," but rather who they are as intelligent beings, and how we can work with them to heal us physically and consciously evolve.   ———————————— ABOUT SAJAH ———————————— Sajah Popham is the author of Evolutionary Herbalism and the founder of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, where he trains herbalists in a holistic system of plant medicine that encompasses clinical Western herbalism, medical astrology, Ayurveda, and spagyric alchemy.

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.
