In the Intro:

• My number one herb book
• My healing pilgrimage to the skull of a blue whale

• Edible & Medicinal Flowers eBook
• The dark places of the soul & sharing our stories

In the Interview:

• The strong childhood memory, and teenage crisis, that started Kami on the plant path
• Recalling the era when being an herbalist was an underground, misunderstood, frowned-upon thing
• You never know where or when the seeds you plant will sprout
• Bringing information to the culture so that it can later be mirrored back to our children (or loved ones) by someone other than us
• Unspoken soul transmissions from the ancestors
• How to extract ancestral stories from your living relatives (do it now!)
• What you are seeking is also seeking you
• We are downloading decades of ancestral information right now & it’s causing information overload- when do we know enough?- an ancestral strategy for simplifying our herb learning
• You don’t have to know everything, too much information clogs the channels
• Stepping into power as bleeding women
• Healing menstrual shame & a look at the learned cultural practices of plugging and drugging (which, in the long run, just repress and create more pain)
• How your blood & bleeding time reflects your state of health back to you
• Aligning with the energy of your moon time- enhanced perception, clarity around boundaries, awareness of emotion
• Menstruation is a truth serum
• Sensitivity is what’s gonna save us
• Women, exhaustion, and rest
• One small change that has dramatically reduced PMS symptoms for many of the women Kami and I know (including me!)
• Returning to our innate body wisdom
