Summary
This podcast is part of the Clear Intentions series of the show.
Diane sits down with herbalist and author Rachelle Robinett for a deeply grounding and inspiring conversation about the healing power of plants. Together, they explore the ancient, globally practiced art of herbalism, and why it might be exactly what our stressed-out, fast-paced culture needs right now.
From nervines and adaptogens to bitters and mushrooms, Rachelle gently walks us through how herbs can support sleep, digestion, emotional balance, mental clarity, and more. You'll learn that you don’t need a garden, a degree, or decades of study to benefit from herbalism—just a teapot and a few mindful minutes.
