8. Embodiment & Herbal Allies in Times of Change

What once appeared stable is being uprooted, people are not okay, and we're in for a bumpy ride.While I don't have all the answers about how we can collectively deal with a crumbling empire, I do have insights from a somatic therapy and herbalism lens about how we can tend to our bodies and nervous systems while supporting our communities during tumultuous times. In this solo episode I explore the concept of self-parenting and stepping up as the adults in our lives to set boundaries around media consumption, and nourishing ourselves through food, movement, sleep, connection, pleasure, and community. I also discuss four herbs that I'm loving right now and how you can work with them to reduce stress, ground your nervous system, soothe anxiety, release pent up emotions, recover from burnout, and stay anchored to your heart in times of darkness. Somatic Sisterhood CircleThe Somatic Sisterhood Circle is a weekly touch point to attune to the wisdom of your body while being held in sisterhood.
