3 Herbs for Resilience with Rebecca Altman

Today is a special episode!

That’s partly because I’m with my bestie, Rebecca Altman. But also because we’re talking about something near and dear to both of our hearts: simple and practical ways to build resilience.

Because life’s too short and too precious to be trapped in a dread of Monday mornings, right? “Monday mornings” might not ever go away, but your experience of them can change.

►►► That’s why we’re excited to share a week-long herbal resilience adventure that’s all about fun, ease, and spaciousness! (If you’re already busy or overwhelmed, the last thing you need is anything that feels heavy or takes too much time, right?) This free class is live from April 4th - April 10th.

To us, resilience isn’t about productivity hacks to keep stuffing more and more into a draining existence. It’s really about being like a willow that’s grounded and rooted, yet able to sway with the wind. It’s the ability to maintain joy and ease amidst life's challenges.

In this episode, we share three herbs that can help you be more resilient when life sends storm winds your way.

Rebecca also shares her Soft & Cozy Tea recipe, which you can download (along with an entire tea recipe ebook) in the Building Resilience Mini Course.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

► What really needs to be transformed to build resilience

► Why herbs alone aren’t enough (though they certainly help!)

► The first-time-on-the-show herb that can offer profound support when you’re feeling life's heat a bit too keenly

► An herbal ally that can gradually and gently bring peace to frazzled nerves

► An herb with a remarkable ability to restore balance, from improving sleep cycles to softening stress responses

► Why gentle action can be the most powerful

► and so much more…

For those of you who don’t already know Rebecca, she loves connecting people: to the earth, to plants, to each other, and to themselves. The underlying purpose behind all of her work is to help people remember the feeling of living in alignment with who they truly are, and the larger flow of the universe. She has an online school, called Wonder Botanica, where she teaches people how to connect to the earth, the heart path, and the universe; and works with clients individually to connect them to their own inner guidance.

Rebecca lives in the mountains of Southern California, with her dog, and about a million oak trees. Despite so many reasons not to be, she remains steadfastly hopeful about human beings and this incredible planet.

I’m so excited to share our conversation with you today!
