In a world obsessed with stimulation and strength, what can this gentle, velvety herb teach us about healing?In this episode, herbalist and prolific author Maria Noël Groves joins me to discuss one of the most soothing herbs around—the lovely marshmallow (Althaea officinalis). Together we explore what makes this mucilaginous (read: velvety, not slimy!) herb such a powerful ally for irritated and inflamed tissues—especially in the gut, where marshmallow helps to protect, moisten, and nourish while also supporting the microbiome.Maria shares why she's fallen so deeply in love with this soft, soothing herb, and how it works without being forceful or stimulating. She also includes a recipe for a cozy, delicious beverage to soothe not just the gut, but also the spirit—her Creamy Marshmallow-Nutmeg Overnight Infusion. You can download your beautifully-illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► The importance of tasting and experiencing an herb in different ways► How best to prepare marshmallow root (and why this is a point of contention among herbalists!)► When marshmallow leaf and flower might be a better medicinal choice than the roots► Why Maria includes marshmallow leaf in most of her tea blends► How marshmallow can help heal your digestion—from cooling inflamed tissues to feeding your gut microbiome (and more!)► When to use caution with taking marshmallow► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Maria Noël Groves is a clinical herbalist nestled in the pine forests of New Hampshire. She runs Wintergreen Botanicals, and is devoted to education and empowerment via classes, health consultations, and writing with the foundational belief that good health grows in nature. Maria is the author of the award-winning, best-selling book Body into Balance: An Herbal Guide to Holistic Self Care, as well as Grow Your Own Herbal Remedies, Herbal Remedies for Sleep, and the new Herbal Gut Health.Marshmallow offers an important reminder that some of the most profound healing comes not from pushing harder, but from learning how to soften. I hope this conversation with Maria inspires you to give your body the care, protection, and nourishment it needs in the new year and beyond.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

Story Transcript:It: Valeria arrivò alla fattoria sotto un cielo grigio coperto di nuvole invernali.En: Valeria arrived at the farm under a gray sky covered with winter clouds.It: I campi di ulivi si estendevano tutto intorno, come soldati in fila, silenziosi e imponenti.En: The olive fields stretched all around, like soldiers in a row, silent and imposing.It: Nonostante fosse giorno, l'aria era fredda e sembrava che la neve potesse cadere da un momento all'altro.En: Despite it being daytime, the air was cold, and it seemed that snow could fall at any moment.It: Era Natale, e anche se c'erano semplici decorazioni sparse qua e là, come ghirlande di rami di pino e piccole lucine che incorniciavano le finestre della casa colonica, Valeria si sentiva distante da quella magia.En: It was Natale (Christmas), and even though there were simple decorations scattered here and there, like garlands of pine branches and small lights framing the farmhouse windows, Valeria felt distant from that magic.It: Anni prima, aveva lasciato questo posto alla ricerca di nuove avventure e un futuro in città.En: Years before, she had left this place in search of new adventures and a future in the city.It: L'idea di tornare non l'aveva mai attratta, e ora si trovava qui solo per sistemare questioni di eredità.En: The idea of returning had never attracted her, and now she found herself here only to settle inheritance matters.It: Carlo, suo fratello, la stava aspettando sulla soglia con le mani infilate nelle tasche del cappotto.En: Carlo, her brother, was waiting for her at the doorstep with his hands tucked into his coat pockets.It: Un uomo robusto con la pelle segnata dal sole, la guardava con una calma che Valeria non riusciva a decifrare.En: A sturdy man with skin marked by the sun, he looked at her with a calmness that Valeria couldn't decipher.It: "Valeria," disse, inclinando leggermente il capo.En: "Valeria," he said, slightly tilting his head.It: Lei ricambiò il saluto con un piccolo cenno nervoso.En: She returned the greeting with a small, nervous nod.It: Entrarono in casa dove il calore del caminetto acceso accolse Valeria.En: They entered the house where the warmth of the lit fireplace welcomed Valeria.It: Le pareti della cucina erano piene di vecchie fotografie e ricordi di famiglia, capaci di riportarle alla mente momenti perduti nel tempo.En: The kitchen walls were full of old photographs and family memories, capable of bringing back lost moments in time.It: Carlo le offrì una tazza di tè e iniziarono a discutere della fattoria.En: Carlo offered her a cup of tea, and they began to discuss the farm.It: "Ora che i nostri genitori non ci sono più, dobbiamo decidere cosa fare," iniziò Carlo, in tono pratico.En: "Now that our parents are no longer with us, we have to decide what to do," Carlo began, in a practical tone.It: "Io voglio che la fattoria resti nella nostra famiglia.En: "I want the farm to stay in our family.It: I nostri genitori hanno lavorato duramente per questo."En: Our parents worked hard for this."It: Valeria sospirò.En: Valeria sighed.It: "Capisco, Carlo, ma io ho una vita in città, ho bisogno di soldi per continuare.En: "I understand, Carlo, but I have a life in the city, I need money to continue.It: Ho pensato di vendere la mia quota."En: I've thought about selling my share."It: La tensione tra i due aumentò, e le vecchie ruggini risalirono in superficie.En: The tension between the two increased, and old grievances surfaced.It: L'incomprensione e le ferite del passato sembravano insormontabili.En: The misunderstanding and wounds of the past seemed insurmountable.It: Tuttavia, qualcosa in Valeria si ammorbidì mentre guardava fuori, verso gli ulivi.En: However, something in Valeria softened as she looked outside, toward the olive trees.It: Quel paesaggio le ricordava le domeniche passate a raccogliere olive e a giocare con Carlo tra quegli alberi.En: That landscape reminded her of Sundays spent picking olives and playing with Carlo among those trees.It: La vigilia di Natale, si avventurarono insieme nell'uliveto.En: On Christmas Eve, they ventured together into the olive grove.It: Le luci del Natale sulla casa colonica brillavano nella distanza, un faro di calore nella fredda sera.En: The Christmas lights on the farmhouse shone in the distance, a beacon of warmth in the cold evening.It: Mentre camminavano, parlarono a cuore aperto.En: As they walked, they spoke openly.It: Valeria confessò quanto le mancasse la sensazione di casa e quanto rispettasse il lavoro che Carlo aveva portato avanti.En: Valeria confessed how much she missed the feeling of home and how much she respected the work that Carlo had carried on.It: Carlo ammise di aver desiderato spesso il suo ritorno per condividere le responsabilità e i ricordi.En: Carlo admitted that he often wished for her return to share responsibilities and memories.It: In quel momento di sincerità, decisero di trovare un compromesso.En: In that moment of sincerity, they decided to find a compromise.It: Valeria avrebbe mantenuto la sua parte della fattoria, investendo nell'agriturismo con Carlo.En: Valeria would keep her part of the farm, investing in the agritourism with Carlo.It: Avrebbe portato le sue idee moderne per attrarre turisti, senza tradire le tradizioni familiari.En: She would bring her modern ideas to attract tourists, without betraying family traditions.It: Inoltre, promise di tornare più spesso, coltivare le proprie radici e riparare i legami con suo fratello.En: Moreover, she promised to return more often, to cultivate her roots, and to mend bonds with her brother.It: Così, la neve cominciò a cadere silenziosa, coprendo tutto con un bianco nuovo inizio.En: Thus, the snow began to fall silently, covering everything with a white new beginning.It: Valeria sorrise a Carlo.En: Valeria smiled at Carlo.It: Il Natale portava un nuovo significato, un rinnovato legame familiare, e un futuro in cui entrambi avrebbero camminato fianco a fianco, onorando la loro eredità.En: Christmas carried a new meaning, a renewed family bond, and a future in which both would walk side by side, honoring their heritage.

The Garden Trust's Linden Groves is campaigning against a proposal to end the organisation's role as a planning statutory consultee.She robustly contests the proposal to remove the statutory consultee role and disagrees that it would improve the planning system. Instead, precious parks and gardens, hard won over many centuries, would be lost to communities both now and in future.“We are passionate about the role that the UK's world-famous historic parks and gardens can play in supporting positive economic growth and healthy cohesive societies, and eager to continue helping this in our role as statutory consultee. We encourage supporters to respond to the consultation and will publish our response as soon as possible.”In March, the Government decided to ditch planning consultancy from bodies including The Gardens Trust, to speed up the planning system. “We are seeking views on reforming the role of statutory consultees in the planning system in England,” it said. The consultation closes at 11:59pm on 13 January 2026.The consultation can be accessed here.Make sure you never miss a HortWeek podcast!

A book from the 1960's clearly explained what was happening to dramatically restructure society. We can clearly see those changes today. Through gradualism America has been transformed over the last 70+ years and many don't realize it. Not only is technology working to make man obsolete, but the progressives have been working to fragment our families, so they can profit from our labor, while raising our children to believe in their "Brave New World."

Send us a textIn this episode of The Self-Help Antidote, I sit down with Jo Groves and Behavioral Scientist and Exercise Professional Dr. Lou Atkinson to explore one of the most talked-about topics in health and fitness today, GLP-1. From its medical origins and biological mechanisms to the behavioral implications of satiety and self-control, this conversation pulls no punches on what GLP-1 can (and can't) do.Dr. Atkinson unpacks the myths about obesity, the oversimplified “eat less, move more” narrative, and the cognitive distortions that still run rampant in the fitness industry. Together, we explore whether GLP-1 can serve as a keystone habit, building confidence and creating the psychological foundation for lasting change, and whether data supports its role in reducing other cravings beyond food.The discussion expands into the importance of individualized programming, adaptive gym memberships, and how small wins, community, and empathy-based coaching can drive sustainable progress. Ultimately, this episode challenges the industry to move beyond stigma and towards genuine human understanding, because change doesn't start in the mirror; it starts in the mind.Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

This is a check-in conversation with Lauren Tucker, co-founder of Kiss the Ground and Renourish Studios. We talk about wrapping up the cohort at Renourish Studio, where they've worked for three years with a diverse group of entrepreneurs and investors across the US food and agriculture system.How do you bring the fact that we are part of a living system into your work in commercial organisations? Lauren shares lessons learned, and what they're doing moving forward. How much of this work is inner work—how we see the world, what we think is possible and not—vs. outer work like planting cover crops, digging swales, showing the financials and nutrient density of almonds, and demonstrating how regenerative farming systems are more alive by measuring biodiversity? How do we open up to opportunities like small water cycle restoration, instead of only thinking about cover crops on our farm?More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

This week, Skylar sits down with Kyle Groves, a second-generation magician who grew up traveling the country with his parents' magic show. Kyle shares what it's really like to live life behind the curtain, from the craft and discipline it takes to become a magician, to the wonder that keeps audiences spellbound. Now preparing to open a one-of-a-kind magic venue in Amarillo, Kyle reflects on his journey, the traditions of the art form, and how magic invites us to step away from the everyday and rediscover that sense of whimsy and childlike wonder.
Years ago, Laura and Pino Pugliano gifted bottles of olive oil at their wedding—never imagining it would inspire a thriving business. Our episode traces their heartfelt journey, where romance and tradition intertwine, from the charm of a small Italian town to the bustling enterprise they run today. As we explore their story, we also uncover the rich heritage of Vena di Maida, where Albanian and Italian cultures have coexisted since the 1400s. The Arbëreshë community, with its enduring language, customs, and recipes, illustrates how migration shaped Italy's cultural mosaic of resilience and continuity. Our journey then turns to Calabria's lush olive groves, where the ancient art of olive oil production still thrives. From its sacred uses in Rome to its place at modern tables, olive oil remains a timeless symbol of nourishment and identity. We highlight its health benefits, economic role, and the importance of sustainability—challenging listeners to value authentic, high-quality oils that honor Italy's agricultural legacy.

WAR ENDINGS NEITHER SWIFT NOR MERCIFUL: 4/8 Road to Surrender: Three Men and the Countdown to the End of World War II by Evan Thomas (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Road-Surrender-Three-Countdown-World/dp/0399589252 1941 KYIV At 9:20 a.m. on the morning of May 30, General Groves receives a message to report to the office of the secretary of war “at once.” Stimson is waiting for him. He wants to know: has Groves selected the targets yet? So begins this suspenseful, impeccably researched history that draws on new access to diaries to tell the story of three men who were intimately involved with America's decision to drop the atomic bomb—and Japan's decision to surrender. They are Henry Stimson, the American Secretary of War, who had overall responsibility for decisions about the atom bomb; Gen. Carl “Tooey” Spaatz, head of strategic bombing in the Pacific, who supervised the planes that dropped the bombs; and Japanese Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo, the only one in Emperor Hirohito's Supreme War Council who believed even before the bombs were dropped that Japan should surrender. Henry Stimson had served in the administrations of five presidents, but as the U.S. nuclear program progressed, he found himself tasked with the unimaginable decision of determining whether to deploy the bomb. The new president, Harry S. Truman, thus far a peripheral figure in the momentous decision, accepted Stimson's recommendation to drop the bomb. Army Air Force Commander Gen. Spaatz ordered the planes to take off. Like Stimson, Spaatz agonized over the command even as he recognized it would end the war. After the bombs were dropped, Foreign Minister Togo was finally able to convince the emperor to surrender. To bring these critical events to vivid life, bestselling author Evan Thomas draws on the diaries of Stimson, Togo and Spaatz, contemplating the immense weight of their historic decision. In Road to Surrender, an immersive, surprising, moving account, Thomas lays out the behind-the-scenes thoughts, feelings, motivations, and decision-making of three people who changed history.

What happens when rigid religious rules collide with authentic faith? Jon Groves takes us on a remarkable journey from his beginnings as a fourth-generation preacher's kid to finding freedom beyond the confines of legalism.At just eight years old, Jon delivered his first sermon standing on a stepping stool behind the pulpit. Growing up in an environment where shorts were forbidden, movies were sinful, and bacon was off-limits, he eventually found himself excommunicated from both family and church for daring to read from a non-King James Bible and incorporating contemporary worship music.Through counseling and mentorship, Jon discovered a path forward that honored Scripture while embracing grace. His church planting journey—first without network support or significant funding, and now in Orlando, Florida's fourth most unchurched metropolitan area—reveals the power of putting relationship before religion.Whether you're a seasoned ministry leader or someone searching for authentic faith beyond the boundaries of tradition, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to keep moving forward in your own journey.Send us a textWe want to help you find your next steps in ministry.Connect here with EXCEL.

De heren bespreken het koersverloop, de frustraties in het peloton, impopulaire beslissingen, gunnen en gelddoping, onaangekondigde bochten, O'Connor huilend op de fiets. Groves wint - Volta Limburg never lies. Én Pascalito wordt ingebeld. De Tour maakt zich op voor de laatste etappe!En hoe zit het nou met Jim die een Roglic pullde vandaag?Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.
What happens when the work we do no longer serves our families—but separates them? In this thought-provoking and deeply resonant episode, Ginny Yurich sits down with Rory Groves, author of Durable Trades and The Family Economy, to uncover why modern life feels so unstable—and what we can do about it. From brittle supply chains to generational fragmentation, Rory exposes how the very systems we were told to rely on are now cracking under pressure. But there is another way. One that's slower, older, and surprisingly resilient: the family economy. Whether you're a parent, homeschooler, or simply someone who senses something is off, this conversation will reframe how you think about work, legacy, education, and security. Rory shares how starting with a single tomato plant led him to a life of greater connection and purpose—and how you can begin reclaiming stability right where you are.

PLANTED A LONG-BEAKED WILLOW TREE TODAY, JOYFUL : 3/4: The Man Who Planted Trees: A Story of Lost Groves, the Science of Trees, and a Plan to Save the Planet, by Jim Robbins. https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Planted-Trees-Science/dp/0812981294/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Twenty years ago, David Milarch, a northern Michigan nurseryman with a penchant for hard living, had a vision: angels came to tell him that the Earth was in trouble. Its trees were dying and, without them, human life was in jeopardy. The solution, they told him, was to clone the champion trees of the world—the largest, the hardiest, the ones that had survived millennia and were most resilient to climate change—and create a kind of Noah's ark of tree genetics. Without knowing if the message had any basis in science, or why he'd been chosen for this task, Milarch began his mission of cloning the world's great trees. Many scientists and tree experts told him it couldn't be done, but, twenty years later, his team has successfully cloned some of the world's oldest trees—among them giant redwoods and sequoias. They have also grown seedlings from the oldest tree in the world, the bristlecone pine Methuselah. When the New York Times journalist Jim Robbins came upon Milarch's story, he was fascinated but had his doubts. Yet, over several years, listening to Milarch and talking to scientists, he came to realize that there is so much we do not yet know about trees: how they die, how they communicate, the myriad crucial ways they filter water and air and otherwise support life on Earth. It became clear that as the planet changes, trees and forest are essential to assuring its survival. 1890 HEART OF THE ANDES
