139. Woven by Earth + Womb Wisdom with Emma Robles

Have you felt that quiet pull to root deeper — into the land beneath you and the wisdom within you?Today I’m joined by the beautiful Emma Robles, whose work weaves earth wisdom and womb connection into the most nourishing tapestry. Emma is a clinical nutritionist and herbalist with her masters of science degree in using food as medicine. She is a poet and a passionate devotee of cyclical living. She helps women learn how to live in tune with their bodies, while using food, herbs, and art as medicine. Together, we explore the places where the earth and the womb meet — and how returning to one so often draws us home to the other.In this episode we explore:Emma’s journey and relationship with the earth — including how her experience with a severe eating disorder was inextricably linked to her coming home to her womb.The way the earth holds us, and how we can deepen our connection to the land we actually live on rather than longing for somewhere else.How Emma’s relationship with the earth informs her relationship to her womb (and vice versa), plus gentle pathways to begin aligning with your own cyclical rhythms and gifts.Emma’s beautiful wave analogy for understanding the menstrual cycle — especially the potency she sees in the energy of the luteal phase.A nourishing conversation on herbs, and practical ways to support and tend to the womb and hormones.How each phase of the menstrual cycle aligns with the Traditional Chinese Medicine elements of Metal, Earth, Fire, Air, and Water — a framework that left me deeply inspired and eager to explore more.This episode is a weaving — earth, body, rhythm, medicine, remembrance.May you feel held inside it.EPISODE RESOURCES: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall KimmererCONNECT WITH EMMA: WebsiteYoutubeInstagramCONNECT WITH RACHEL:WebsiteInstagram Remember to subscribe & leave a rating and review of the show!
