Owen never thought he’d be a dad, neither of us planned on getting married, and we had no idea that our love for plants would play such a big role in sustaining our relationship. Here’s a peek into how we make our lives together work...
IN THE INTRO:
Elderberry & Motherwort
Three things that make our marriage work
IN THE INTERVIEW:
How we met and then, six years later, got together (St. John’s Wort oil played a role)
Why we pretended we weren’t falling in love even when we clearly were
What we were doing before we got together, and how we’ve changed and grown together
How Owen, who never thought he’d have kids, transitioned first into the role of stepdad and then new father
How we find balance and prioritize our marriage while sharing kids, land, a home, and a business (spoiler alert: we don’t)
What roles we each take on within the family and the business
Ramblings on getting married and raising kids in middle age
Parenting a teenager and a threenager
Adulting, we hate it but it brings us closer
Our reaction to our unexpected pregnancy
How we became homeowners and married people, two things we never envisioned for ourselves
What’s growing in our gardens, what tending our land looks like
Sustainable wildcrafting (and pivoting away from wildcrafting)
Why plant communication has been heavy for Owen lately
What Owen thinks about my activism around the issue of vaccine mandates
Civil uprising is the only option left to us on so many fronts, so many issues, as big businesses continue to destroy environmental and human health in the name of profit
What we’ve learned from our fights
Envisioning the future of our business and family
