How strategic inefficiency can make us more efficient, knowing your personality type, and being deeply rooted in place.
IN THE INTRO:
What time can do (my recent family emergency)
Ancestral Lineage Healing
Lion's mane mushroom & hawthorn berry medicine
IN THE INTERVIEW:
How the journey through grief, depression, and getting on and then getting off 5 different pharmaceuticals at once led Rebecca to herbalism
Meeting the spirit of a place/seeing your home with new eyes
Sexy desert plants: creosote (chaparral/Larrea) & ocotillo
Where there is no word for magic because it's just a normal part of life & why believing in magic makes us human
The West's missing rites of initiation & why we have such a hard time adulting
Realizing that no one else is going to tell you that you belong, that you have the gift, that you are magical
The humoural approach to herbalism & healing: why knowing your personal balance of temperaments (sanguine, choleric, meloncholic, and phlegmatic) can help you to know yourself better
The debilitating cultural preference/lie embedded in The Hero's Journey
The virtues of working inefficiently
A practice to get you rooted and step you back inside yourself: reconnecting to what we cut off in order to get things done quicker & better
Root medicine: shatavari & ashwaganda
