Got cramps? The truth is there is not just one answer to how to relieve menstrual cramps, and my guess is that if you've got cramps you've realized this yourself.

It took me years to understand that there are many different KINDS of menstrual cramps, and they all come from different imbalances in the body and the pelvis.

I get asked a lot about herbal approaches to fibroid care, and there is actually a lot that's possible!

But I also haven't personally been through the journey myself, so I'm excited to bring Kate Douglas, founder and curator of Earth Body, onto the podcast to share about her own embodied experience over the past couple years.

She shares about how she even knew she had fibroids in the first place (hint: cycle tracking was a KEY to her awareness), and the very integrative approach she's explored to both reduce the size of (and totally clear one of) her fibroids.

Her path has incorporated everything from nutrition to lifestyle to bodywork to pelvic steaming and more.

Even if you don't have fibroids, or don't *think* you do, everything Kate shares is also foundational for hormonal wellness overall, and especially useful for any estrogen-dominant conditions, too.

I hope you enjoy Kate's inspiring story.

As herbalists or herb-curious folks, we're taught to avoid poisonous plants -- and with good reason! They aren't plants to mess with. They can literally kill you.

But... what if there were ways to work with these plants safely? There are!

And today's guest, Megan Desrosiers, speaks all about it.

As you might imagine, this is NOT physical plant medicine. This is more energetic, spirit level plant medicine.

But according to Megan, it can be profoundly supportive and even transformational working with the energetic imprints of specific poisonous plants.

They can support "underworld journeys" facing the things many of us tuck away, and help us to release old patterns and even enhance ancestral lineage healing.

There's so much here, and we speak about plants like datura, foxglove, lily-of-the-valley, poison ivy and more.

Whether or not this path calls to you, I hope this episode offers a glimpse into one way of exploring some of the shadow parts that can be keys to our greater healing journeys... and perhaps inspires you to go connect with a plant today (or soon), too.
