When something feels like it's really, there's a lot of resistance and it's just like not going into place, what's the message? Let it out. Let it out. Let it out.

My name is Katie Dale Bout. If this is your first time here, welcome, dive into the archive. We're so close to 300 episodes. I've been doing this since 2013. I'm going to have to do something extremely special for number 300, but I'm so happy you're here. If you've been listening for a while,

you might remember just a couple months ago, I was in Australia in Byron Bay,

visiting my now very dear friend, Erin and her husband Noah staying in their house

that's a converted church, which you'll hear about in this episode, because Erin is today's

guest. She's an herbalist, nutritionist, energetic healer, a mentor, an author of this beautiful

book called Plants for the People. And I've just been a dabbler and a person fascinated by herbalism.

And this book, you guys, you're just going to want it for your coffee table or your kitchen.

We talk about it in this episode and I'll let Aaron speak for the book.

because she's so smart and she's obviously a trained healer and herbalist, and I already mentioned all the things

that she does in her career.

But as a person, she's just really playful and fun.

And I think you can get the sense of that in this episode.

And we were laughing because we voice text every single day.

I'm on a text chain with her and Noah and we check in with each other and we send

each other a view of what we're doing. And we just really bonded over this time that I spent

almost two weeks staying with them. And we called it our pre-quarantine because there are

these really intense floods actually in Byron where

roads were closed and we couldn't go anywhere and we had to get supplies and you know i'll tell you
