Mandy begins by explaining what emblems are, and how valuable they were back in the 16th & 17th centuries. She shares how she came to write the book, what surprised her the most along the way, and why she believes it's so valuable, and important, to learn from the past. Mandy then explains why symbols are so magical, how writing this book was very similar to writing Essence & Alchemy, and how it ties in perfectly with her perfume work. She also shares what drives her, and how lucky she feels to be able to do what she loves. Mandy then shares details about the book, including her favorite emblems.

Synopsis:  In conversation with Laura Flanders, ecologist and activist Professor Robin Wall Kimmerer discusses how embracing ecological grief can be a powerful catalyst for change in restoring balance between humans and the Earth they inhabit.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description:  When was the last time you listened to the plants? Plant ecologist Robin Wall Kimmerer, a self-proclaimed “student of the plants,” has dedicated her life to helping people of all ages understand the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. Her latest initiative “Plant Baby Plant” does exactly that, by mobilizing communities to restore plants while building collective power for the Earth. Kimmerer is a distinguished professor, MacArthur Fellow, mother and an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. Her 2013 book “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants” emerged as a surprise bestseller with almost three million copies sold across 20 languages. In this enlightening episode, Robin Wall Kimmerer and Laura Flanders explore how nature can inform our language, our economy, our movements and more. As you'll hear, our survival depends on it. Plus, a commentary from Laura on what it took to separate people from nature. Hint: it wasn't peaceful.“I think it is so important that we embrace ecological grief rather than look away . . . When we recognize that pain we feel for our relationships with the natural world is also the measure of our love for the living world. It's that love which is mirrored in the grief that makes you get back up and say, ‘Not on my watch.'” - Robin Wall Kimmerer“. . . We have to kind of decolonize our minds from this industrial revolution concept that the Earth belongs to us as a source of nothing more than belongings, natural resources that are our property . . . There is this notion in many Indigenous worldviews that human beings play a critical role in maintaining balance, that the way we take from the living world can actually be regenerative.” - Robin Wall KimmererGuest:  Robin Wall Kimmerer: Plant Ecologist, Writer, Professor; Founder, Plant Baby Plant; Author, Braiding Sweetgrass*Recommended book:Bookshop: “The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World” by Robin Wall Kimmerer: Get the book*  And to accompany the book:(*Bookshop is an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores.

Think a great wine grape can't survive where winters drop to minus forty? We sit down with breeder Dr. Harlene Hatterman-Valenti from North Dakota State University to unpack how a young industry, a focused research program, and some stubborn optimism produced two new cultivars built for the northern plains. From the early days of variety trials and policy hurdles to the release of Dakota Primus and Radiant, Harlene shares how hybrid genetics, gritty selection, and clever management turned a hostile climate into an advantage.We dig into the science of cold hardiness: why photoperiod sensitivity matters more than you think, how vines must read shortening days to lay down periderm before sudden freezes, and the three critical windows where cold injury strikes—fall acclimation, deep midwinter lows, and late-winter temperature whiplash. Harlene explains the growth calendar for a North Dakota vineyard with just 130 frost-free days, from delayed pruning and cautious budbreak to early-August veraison and mid-September harvests. Beyond the vineyard, we explore how the state's wine scene found its footing, why regulations evolved to support consistent supply, and how tourism now fuels growth. The conversation closes with what's next: chasing an ultra-cold-hardy red, expanding into table grapes for farmers markets, and celebrating the team effort—students, specialists, and collaborators—that made progress possible. If you're curious about cold-climate viticulture, breeding under polar vortex pressure, or how science builds regional wine identities, this one's for you.Additional information in available in these articles:Complex Plant Process Trait Evaluation Through Decomposition of Higher-order Interaction: A Case Study in Acclimation Responses of Cold-climate Hybrid Grapevine Through Bilinear and Multiway MethodsCold Climate Winegrape Cultivar Sensitivity to Sulfur in the Northern Great Plains Region of the United States‘NDMutant1': A Novel Determinate Interspecific Grapevine for Genetic and Physiological Study and Breeding ApplicationsEnjoyed the conversation?

California's environmental policies literally chose endangered plants over human lives—and 12 people paid the ultimate price. Firefighters watched a containable 8-acre brush fire smolder for a week in Topanga State Park, but state officials ordered them to leave the area to protect the Braunton's Milkvetch (yes, a purple flower) and potential Native American artifacts. Despite extreme fire warnings and 80 mph winds approaching, the burn scar sat unmonitored because "avoidance areas" banned heavy equipment and mop-up operations without an archaeologist present. The result? The Palisades Fire exploded into LA's worst urban wildfire catastrophe—23,000 acres burned, 6,800 structures destroyed, and billions in damages. New lawsuit evidence reveals secret maps, text messages showing firefighters saying "heck no" to bringing in dozers, and a state policy that literally prioritizes letting parks burn even when adjacent to densely populated neighborhoods. Meanwhile, only 1 home has been rebuilt a year later. Is anyone surprised that California's "plants over people" philosophy ended in absolute disaster? When will state leaders be held accountable for policies that made citizens less safe?

Own Your Health is about taking responsibility for your body before it breaks down. In this episode, Katie Brindle explores the concept of a “home health holiday” – a preventative approach to midlife wellbeing that focuses on regeneration rather than reaction. After personally trialling cutting-edge regenerative therapies including hyperbaric oxygen, ozone therapy, LED light therapy and hydrogen therapy, Katie shares what genuinely made a difference to her energy, sleep, inflammation, weight, skin and overall sense of vitality – and crucially, how you can replicate many of the benefits at home, for free or at low cost. This episode is especially relevant if you're: - Feeling tired, worn down or “not quite yourself” - Curious about regenerative medicine and modern wellness - Navigating midlife health and want to age well, not just cope - Interested in preventative health rather than crisis-driven care Katie also explains why January is biologically the best time of year to rest, restore and invest in your health – and why waiting for symptoms to appear is the biggest mistake most people make. This is not about quick fixes or detox trends. It's about giving back to your body, before it asks for help.

Eating healthier shouldn't feel confusing, overwhelming, or impossible to sustain—and if it ever has, you're not the problem. In this 30-minute REAL30™ webinar, Rip Esselstyn and Laurie Kortowich introduce a simple, science-backed framework designed to help you eat more real, whole plants and stay consistent without turning your life upside down.The REAL30 is built on three approachable pillars:30 days of simple daily action (progress over perfection)30 minutes of movement per day (any movement counts)30 different plants per week (we count plants, not calories)You'll learn why plant diversity matters—especially for gut health, energy, metabolism, inflammation, and immune function—and how the “30 plants per week” concept is rooted in research from the American Gut Project. The conversation breaks down what real food actually means, why ultra-processed foods make consistency harder, and how whole plants work with your body's natural systems (including appetite regulation and gut health).Rip shares powerful real-world stories from the firehouse and lessons learned from his father, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, while Laurie brings in insights from the PLANTSTRONG community—showing how quickly people begin to feel better when they focus on adding more of the good stuff instead of restricting.You'll also walk away with:Simple “bowl-building” meal patterns that work for busy livesPractical examples of how to hit 30+ plants in a day without stressTools to make consistency easier, including free trackers, a plant checklist, and optional meal-planning supportThis isn't a diet, a cleanse, or a rigid set of rules. It's a return to real food—built on abundance, simplicity, and momentum.

Anyone who gardens for long enough or likes to spend a lot of time in the great outdoors will encounter plants that can cause itchiness or even pain, but there are certain plants that they should be especially wary of — wicked plants. In this week's encore, New York Times bestselling author Amy Stewart joins me to discuss the stories surrounding the world's most notorious plants.

In this episode of Doodoo Divas: Smells Like Money, we wrap up our three-part series on geothermal energy by shifting the focus to where the impact is accelerating fastest—the private and industrial sectors. This conversation explores the moment when cooling towers go quiet, and what that silence means for water conservation, operational savings, and the future of industrial infrastructure.As water scarcity, water rights challenges, and regulatory pressure continue to intensify, manufacturers, data centers, refineries, and large-scale commercial facilities are being forced to rethink how they manage heat and water. In this episode, we break down how geothermal systems can fully replace traditional evaporative cooling towers, eliminating millions of gallons of water use, removing chemical treatment requirements, and delivering long-term return on investment that often exceeds energy savings alone.Building on earlier discussions around municipal utilities, this episode dives into real-world private-sector applications. We explore hyperscale data centers consuming millions of gallons of water per day for cooling—and how geothermal solutions are eliminating that demand entirely while repurposing waste heat for agriculture and greenhouses. We also examine manufacturing and pretreatment facilities that are reducing chemical treatment, lowering energy demand, and easing the burden on municipal sewer systems.The conversation extends into oil refineries now facing water curtailment for the first time in decades, resorts and mixed-use developments using recovered heat to power year-round swimmable lagoons, and large commercial facilities discovering that water savings can outweigh energy savings in overall ROI calculations. These examples demonstrate how geothermal is no longer experimental—it is a scalable, proven strategy already reshaping industrial operations.We also discuss why private-sector adoption is accelerating despite upfront capital investment, how typical ROI timelines play out, and why integrated thinking across water, energy, and infrastructure is unlocking new value streams instead of wasting heat through evaporation.The key takeaway from this episode is clear: geothermal energy is not a niche technology or a future concept. It is a practical, available solution delivering water conservation, regulatory resilience, operational efficiency, and new revenue opportunities for organizations willing to challenge long-standing assumptions about cooling and infrastructure design.Connect With Jay Egg:President & Founder: Egg GeoEmail: jay@egggeo.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/egggeothermalairconditioning/Website: egggeo.comI hope you find this episode as informative and as exciting as we have.Please let us know your thoughts about the episode!Connect with Suzan Chin-Taylor, host of The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast:Website: www.creativeraven.com | https://thetuitgroup.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/creativeraven/Email: raven@creativeraven.com Telephone: +1 760-217-8010Listen and subscribe here to your favorite platform:Apple Podcast - Google Podcast - Cast Box - Overcast - Pocket Casts - YouTube - Spotifyhttps://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/ Subscribe to the Podcast:https://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/Be a guest on our show:https://calendly.com/thetuitgroup/be-a-podcast-guestCheck Out my NEW Digital Marketing E-Course & Coaching Program just for Wastewater Pros:https://store.thetuitgroup.com/diy-digital-marketing-playbook-for-wastewater-pros#GeothermalEnergy #CoolingTowers #WaterConservation #IndustrialInnovation #SustainableInfrastructure #WastewaterIndustry #WaterEnergyNexus #PrivateSectorSolutions #EnergyEfficiency #WaterSavings #IndustrialSustainability #InfrastructureInnovation #CleanEnergy #FutureOfUtilities

“Connection to the land and knowing the plants that surround you and knowing what food your ancestor ate and trying to go back there is probably one of the most important things that we can do as resistance today.” - Aya Gazawi FaourIn For The Wild's series in collaboration with Olive Oddessey, we hear from their co-founder, Aya Gazawi Faour, who shares about plants indigenous to the Palestinian landscape and their deep ties to culture, resistance, and enduring lifeways. In this concluding episode, Aya shares about both the symbols and material history of watermelon and prickly pear in Palestine, emphasizing the history of the plants as integral to their current uses. From reminders of resilience and patience to subtle efforts of resistance, plants can be helpful teachers on our paths towards liberation, and this episode leaves us with the sweet promise of freedom and liberation to come.  Let this conversation be an invitation to look more closely at the lands and living beings of Palestine. If Aya's stories moved you, take the next step: learn from the farmers and stewards keeping these lifeways alive. Explore the work of Palestinian growers, deepen your understanding of their traditions, and support their harvests through Olive Odyssey. Every gesture of connection helps nourish a culture, a landscape, and a people rooted in resilience.Olive Odyssey brings together farmers from across Palestine with a shared purpose: to tell the story of the Palestinian people through the food they produce.

In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Sarah Ballantyne for one of the most grounded, science-driven conversations I've had about nutrition in a long time.   We talk about why diet culture keeps swinging between extremes, how nutrient density gets lost in food ideology, and what actually matters when it comes to protein, plants, gut health, and long-term health outcomes. Sarah breaks down why restrictive frameworks often backfire, how to evaluate food quality without fear, and what the research really says, not what performs best on social media.   This conversation is for anyone who wants to eat in a way that supports performance, longevity, and metabolic health without turning food into a moral identity.   We cover: Why nutrient density matters more than diet labels The dangers of nutrition dogma and "one right way" thinking Protein needs, plant foods, and dietary diversity Gut health, fiber, and microbial resilience How to evaluate nutrition advice critically Moving from restriction to sufficiency   Dr. Sarah's Instagram   Nutrivore 90 Challenge   For the high-achieving hot girls that want to recover better, support glowier skin, and promote longevity through better cellular health, get 20% off your first order of Mitopure and make wellness easier than ever.

Oh the weather outside is frightful but there's still plenty of wonder to be found out there. James Armitage, editor of The Plant Review, joins Gareth Richards to reflect on the quiet beauty of the resilient plants that carry us through the winter months, and on the quiet beauty of seeing familiar plants anew.We begin with writer and plantsman Phil Clayton, who tells the extraordinary story of the Wollemi pine, tracing its journey from near-extinction to gardens around the world. James then sits down with Tom Christian to discuss the remarkable diversity of the ivy family, a group of plants rich in variety and resilience, whose beauty and horticultural value are often underestimated. Finally, we meet South Korean artist Seong Weon Ahn, whose delicate paintings capture plants not only with botanical precision, but with a deep sense of presence and mood.

“If you don't forage for Za'atar, how are you going to feel connected to the land? How are you going to understand what your ancestors have been doing for thousands of years here?” - Aya Gazawi FaourIn For The Wild's series in collaboration with Olive Odyssey, we hear from Aya Gazawi Faour, their co-founder, who shares about plants indigenous to the Palestinian landscape and their deep ties to culture, resistance, and enduring lifeways. In this episode, Aya shares about the herb Za'atar and its role in Palestinian kitchens. Aya details the ban placed on foraging Za'atar by Israel and its selective enforcement against Palestinians. Despite encroachments on their land and these restrictive practices, Aya emphasizes connection to the land down to the very flavor of Palestinian food and the scent of Palestinian kitchens. Colonizing forces try to separate people and the land, but as Aya speaks, it is clear that this separation is neither sustainable nor wholly possible. Let this conversation be an invitation to look more closely at the lands and living beings of Palestine. If Aya's stories moved you, take the next step: learn from the farmers and stewards keeping these lifeways alive. Explore the work of Palestinian growers, deepen your understanding of their traditions, and support their harvests through Olive Odyssey.
