When putting together a bug-out bag in case of emergencies, don't forget your herbs! Just like a first aid kit, a go bag is best when you construct it according to your specific needs, and the needs of people you'll be with. This isn't a “one size fits all” situation!The same goes for circumstances when you need to shelter in place. A ‘stay-in stash' is just a go-bag without the go. It's an orderly, intentional accumulation of all the things you'll need if the power goes out for a week, or you can't leave your home for an extended period of time.Herbs, food, and ‘everything else' all need to go in there – and don't forget water! In this episode we discuss what to include, what to avoid, and ways to keep your stock rotating and fresh for a moment of need.Mentioned in this episode:HHP 233: Emergency Readiness Needs A Meal PlanFEMA AppWe're highlighting first aid herbalism on the podcast all month.

“Meeting your own goals is self-care. Dopamine is healing.” Topics Discussed Autoimmune issues in women & internal progress Suppression, toxic relationships & chronic illness How herbalism helped reverse years of health issues Emotional trauma as a root cause of physical symptoms Stress, stagnation & the root of chronic symptoms Autoimmunity & energetic misalignment Subconscious triggers in motherhood Postpartum crashes after fertility success “Suppression might be more dangerous than alcohol, because you carry it 24/7.” Show Notes Summary Hello Beautiful, Monica here, and today we're going there. Deep. Raw. No fluff. Tania the Herbalist joins me for a truth-bomb-packed convo that will stop you in your tracks (and maybe call you out gently while doing it). We talk about why so many women with autoimmune issues are stuck in survival mode, chasing healing from every angle, supplements, diets, protocols, but still not getting better. Tanya opens up about puking from anxiety every morning, insomnia that felt like a life sentence, and the moment she realized her body was begging her to stop suppressing. Not fixing, feeling. This isn't about another green smoothie or fertility-friendly tea. It's about emotional constipation. About how not speaking your truth, staying in the wrong relationships, and never making real progress for you, not your kids, your boss, or your to-do list, is silently wrecking your immune system. We're unpacking what it really means to live in survival mode while chasing fertility goals, snapping at your partner, catching every cold, ruminating over laundry like it's life or death. It's not just stress. It's your soul suffocating under default energy loops and outdated purpose narratives. We're not here to slap another “modality” on the wound. We're here to ask: What stories are you playing on repeat while folding your laundry? What do you believe about success, and does it actually excite you? This convo will challenge you, shake you up, and (lovingly) drag your nervous system out of its emotional junk drawer. So hit play and let's dive into what's really keeping your body in a holding pattern, and how to finally shift it. “Healing happens when you stop externalizing the problem and remember who the f*ck you are.” Timestamps 01:44 Understanding why a significant number of women suffer from autoimmune illnesses. 03:50 Tanya's rock-bottom moment with anxiety, insomnia & burnout and her journey into herbalism. 07:09 The toxicity of unspoken relationships and how suppression breaks you. 10:23 The power of mirror works in helping you face your inner demons and find healing. 15:20 The everyday energy that shapes your life and why joylessness and stagnation are the real fertility killers. 20:11 What success actually looks like and how to reverse engineer it. 21:35 Understanding that kids don't fix you - they show you where you're broken. 23:19 Postpartum crashes & the cost of not healing before motherhood. “The body will scream until you listen. The signs are everywhere; you just keep overriding them.” Full Transcript on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/part-one-with-tania-khazaal  Connect with Tania Khazaal https://www.instagram.com/taniatheherbalist/ Let's Do This Together

What does it mean to treat birth as a portal: one of transformation, intuition, and magic?This week on Moonbeaming, Sarah Faith Gottesdiener is joined by Natasha June, a doula, herbalist, and longtime member of the Moon Studio community, for a conversation about preparing for birth and all of its emotional, spiritual, and intuitive dimensions.In this episode you'll learn:Why birth is a transformational portal—even for those who don't give birthHow to cultivate and trust your intuition during pregnancy and parenthoodThe emotional and spiritual layers of preparing for birthWhat doulas really do (and why their support matters)The importance of informed care and advocacy, especially for BIPOC birthing peopleNatasha June is a Los Angeles–based Certified Full Spectrum Doula, Vaginal Steam Facilitator, Herbalist, and Placenta Specialist.

Welcome to the second installment in our Anatomy of a Formula series. In this post, we'll examine a classic North American herbal duo: the archetypal stimulant, Cayenne (Capsicum annuum), and the archetypal relaxant, Lobelia (Lobelia inflata).  If you missed the introductory post, which explored a brief history of formulation in Western herbalism and the strategic thinking behind herbal pairs and triplets, be sure to check it out[LINK]—it sets the stage for this series and what we're diving into today.   Here's what you'll learn in this epsisode: Why Cayenne and Lobelia—seemingly opposing herbs—create powerful synergy in herbal formulas How this pairing acts on multiple systems, including circulatory, respiratory, and neuromuscular Key energetic patterns (Western, Ayurvedic, and astrological) that guide the use of these herbs Traditional and modern uses of Cayenne–Lobelia combinations Clinical considerations: where this pair works well, and where to use caution How to think constitutionally and systemically rather than symptomatically when formulating with pairs   ———————————— 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 episode #376 of The Hormone Puzzle Podcast, our guest Holly Leever, talks about The Use of Acupuncture for Menstrual Cycle Issues - PMS, Period Pain, Irregular Cycles. More about Holly: Holly is a Fertility Awareness Educator, licensed Acupuncturist, and Herbalist whose passion for women's health stems from her personal experience with cycle and fertility challenges. After recovering from anorexia, fertility awareness helped her reconnect with her body and has since supported her through natural pregnancy prevention, conception, and postpartum. In 2014, she founded Rosebud Wellness to help women optimize fertility and hormone balance through holistic care. She supports clients locally in Ojai, California, and virtually worldwide. When she's not supporting women on their wellness journeys, Holly enjoys spending time with her daughter, practicing yoga, and connecting with nature. She also hosts The Fertile Womb podcast, offering empowering education on fertility awareness and holistic reproductive health. Thank you for listening!

We LOVE to hear from you! You can text us feedback + suggested episode topics here.

Have you been studying herbs for a while, but you still feel unsure about how to combine them into an effective formula?  Or maybe you're newer to herbalism and ready to dive into the art and science of formulation? Formulation is one of my favorite parts of herbal medicine, so I'm excited to kick off a new series called The Anatomy of a Formula. I love the synergy that emerges when herbs are combined in intelligent, intentional ways—and the specificity you can achieve when formulating for a particular person. It's both powerful and fun. However, for budding herbalists, formulation can initially feel daunting and a little confusing. Without some kind of framework or guidance, many people end up just tossing a bunch of herbs into a bottle and hoping it works. That's not an ideal approach because you're essentially leaving your therapeutics to chance. Instead, approach formulation with strategy, intention, and precision, tailored to the individual you're working with.  Here's what we'll cover in this post: • A brief history of formulation in North American herbalism • Formulation challenges and how to fix the problem • The foundations of herbal formulas: pairs and triplets • The anatomy of an effective formula     ———————————— 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. With perspectives gleaned from traditional Western herbalism, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Alchemy, Medical Astrology, and traditional cultures from around the world, The Plant Path provides unique insights, skills and strategies for the practice of true holistic herbalism. 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. 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.

Leslie Lekos: Herbalist at Wildroot Botanicals by KGMI News/Talk 790

In this episode, I'm wrapping up my Goddess series by diving into the world of the Modern Goddess—what she meant to our Neolithic ancestors and how she still lives in us today. Inspired by my journey through Old Europe and the work of archeomythologist Marija Gimbutas, I explore goddess-worshiping cultures and the rich symbolism they left behind—like the snake, the egg, and sacred water—as guides for understanding cycles of life, death, fertility, rest, and regeneration.But this isn't just a look at ancient history. I share practical, grounded ways to embody the goddess in your daily life today—through community care, seasonal and cyclical living, everyday rituals, and even the herbal allies I keep close (sometimes literally in my pockets!). If you're longing to reconnect with the Earth, slow down, and live in a more regenerative rhythm, this episode is an invitation to awaken the goddess within and bring her spirit into the heart of your modern life.

Send us a textIn this powerful episode, I'm joined by former NHS midwife Rosemary, who bravely opens up about her time working within the UK's maternity system - and why she ultimately made the difficult decision to walk away.With her knowledge and experience of women-centred care, Rosemary speaks candidly about the challenges she faced as a midwife, from rising pressures to the emotional toll of witnessing care that didn't align with her values.Rosemary shares what it means to support physiological birth within institutional constraints, and why leaving was the only way to stay true to herself - and what she's doing nowWhether you're pregnant, a birth worker, or simply curious about what happens behind the scenes of the maternity system, Rosemary's story will stay with you.You can find Rosemary here Or on her website here - https://houseofrosemary.comIf you love the podcast and would like to support it, then please use the link to 'buy me a coffee' - https://bmc.link/sallyannberesfordIf you would like to buy a copy of either of the books that accompany this podcast please go to your online bookseller or visit Amazon:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner - click here:-https://bit.ly/LabourofloveThe Art of Giving Birth - Five Key Physiological Principles - https://amzn.to/3EGh9dfPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth' - Black and White version https://amzn.to/3CvJXmOPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth'- Colour version https://amzn.to/3GknbPFYou can find all my classes and courses on my website - www.sallyannberesford.co.uk Follow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner Book a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann - https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresford Please remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guests, based on their own experiences.

"Nature doesn't judge. It just invites you to show up and be yourself."In this wide-ranging conversation, we're joined by Alexis Burnett—naturalist, tracker, herbalist, and founder of Earth Tracks in Ontario, Canada. Alexis takes us on a journey through three decades of nature connection, beginning with a longing for deeper meaning after high school and leading to a life of wilderness mentoring, community building, and raising a family rooted in the rhythms of the land.We explore Alexis's learning journey, early influences from indigenous elders and mentors, and the humble beginnings of Earth Tracks, born out of curiosity, commitment, and a deep love for the land. Along the way, Alexis shares the transformative power of long-term mentoring, the quiet magic of gratitude circles, and the importance of routines like sit spot, tracking, and plant observation—simple practices that create space for awe, healing, and purpose.Whether you're new to nature connection or decades into the journey, this episode is a rich reflection on what it means to walk a path that's guided not by goals, but by listening, presence, and the willingness to follow what calls.Connect with AlexisVisit Earth Tracks to learn more about Alexis' programs and join his newsletter.

Is functional medicine really the answer for gut health? Or are we just trading one pill-for-every-ill model for another—this time with supplements?In this candid episode of The Herbalist's Path, I'm joined by Dr. Nikki DiNezza—chiropractor, nutritionist, and self-proclaimed “gut microbiome queen.” Nikki shares her journey from chronic pain to gut healing, and how functional medicine helped... until it didn't.We explore what functional medicine often gets wrong, the dark side of supplement-heavy protocols, and why herbalism offers a more intuitive, affordable, root-cause approach.We also laugh, talk poop (obviously), and nerd out on herbs, microbiomes, and tuning into your body's wisdom. If you're tired of cutting more foods or popping more pills, this one's for you.

“US GLOBAL CURRENTS Teeter-Totter Reality” An Astrological Perspective.“The point of balance on the teeter-totter involves give and take. At this moment in history, a caravan of outer planets begins shifting signs. We have never experienced such a concoction of changing energetic realms. Introduced with Pluto Aquarius ingress just six months ago in November followed by the north node shifting into Pisces mid-January. Modern outer planets, Uranus and Neptune, rule those signs. Both of which are part of this current caravan. Neptune entered the zodiac start at 0°Aries a day before the Solar eclipse. Traditional rulers Saturn and Jupiter for Aquarius and Pisces move into new signs next. Completing this ingress train, Uranus transits into Gemini early July. Astrology reflects the sky patterns as planets transit through zodiac degrees, changing angles to other planets. According to the Hermetic code life reflects that above so below and vice versa. In fact, the idea goes on to say that what we experience and feel within is reflected without or externally, and vice versa,” said Sue Minahan, founder, and host of the weekly show. “The times in the USA and abroad echo these dynamic archetypal transitions. The cosmic map continues its predestined cycle orbiting. However, for us here on earth, the waves rock us into yet new patterns still unknown. Humanity holds free will unlike the determined cycles orbiting.”Join Sue Rose Minahan of Kailua-Kona, Big Island of Hawaii featuring Justin Crockett Elzie of Port Angeles, Washington, and Robert J Pacitti of Penn Run, Pennsylvania.

What if the plants around you are trying to talk to you—and all you need to do is trust yourself enough to listen?In this heart-centered episode of The Herbalist's Path, I chat with Lauren Almquist of HeartSpace Herbals & Garden Design about the deeply personal and transformative journey of connecting with plants. From childhood rose water magic to calming the mind with Blue Vervain, Lauren shares her path and reminds us that you don't have to “know it all” to be an herbalist—you just have to show up with curiosity, presence, and love.
