Behind the PMS Cravings Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

PMS cravings are all the rage (sometimes literally) in the luteal phase of our cycles. When we’re not clued into our monthly changes, it might feel like something otherworldly has taken over and cleaned out the fridge.

Intense cravings can be the result of a few different things: emotional needs, physical hunger, or a sign that your body needs a certain type of nourishment. How can you tell which is which? We'll talk about it on today's show.

Plant Wisdom With Miranda Aponte Mar 09, 2022

Show notes

Miranda Aponte is an herbalist-in-training of the Puerto Rican diaspora sharing the intersections of healing + eco + social co liberation on Mariposa. With the passing of her curandera grandmother, she got the courage to create a space to share healing modalities, practitioners, and an apothecary. Mariposa uplifts ancient, ancestral, and indigenous wisdoms with reverence and the respect that these sacred practices come from communities that have been targeted for centuries. The hope is to provide support in tapping back into our innate wisdom and returning to our roots as Earth stewards.
In this episode, we talk about the commercialization of herbalism, working with plant spirits, responsibly connecting with the land, elemental medicine, and the relationship between plants and death.

PART 1: Mindfulness and Mental Health Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

As we close out our second year of the pandemic, we’re all feeling really burnt out and have been for quite a while. Many of you said you were looking for more mental health resources, so I wanted to zero in on this topic and see how we can come together as a community to support each other.

This will be a two-part series. This episode will cover general mental health, and next week we’ll talk more about cyclical changes in mental health.

Seed Cycling With Kate Morton Feb 16, 2022

Show notes

Part of holistic wellness is understanding that everything in the body is connected. Hormone balance affects many other areas of your health, and when this delicate balance is thrown off for some reason, your body’s way of telling you can be through menstrual changes, energy issues, digestive troubles, insomnia, infertility, and more.

For getting hormones back in balance, seed cycling can be a powerful way to use whole foods to improve your wellbeing. To discuss this gentle method, we are joined by Kate Morton, a Registered Dietitian with a master's degree in Human Clinical Nutrition that focuses on women's health and fertility. She’s also the founder of Funk It Wellness, a menstrual health company on a mission to end PMS, naturally.
