In this episode, I’m joined by fellow herbalist Amelia Andrade for a conversation rooted in the wild edges of spring.
We explore the role of bitters in herbal practice, not just as a category of taste or action, but as something that invites us back into relationship with our bodies. Together, we talk about wild weeds, especially Dandelion, and the quiet, persistent ways these plants support digestion, movement, and renewal.
This conversation moves between the medicinal and the energetic: how bitters wake things up in the body, how spring asks us to shift and soften, and how working with common plants can become a daily, lived practice rather than something abstract or occasional.
We also reflect on nourishment this time of year, what it means to support ourselves gently as we come out of winter, and how paying attention to what’s growing around us can guide that process.
If you’ve ever felt drawn to the plants growing just outside your door, or are curious about how to work with herbs in a more grounded, relational way, this episode is an invitation to begin.
