Oh happy day! Happy Pride!
So hear us out... We had to break it down to y'all that we have seen folks claim an ethic around abstention of meat, but treat animals horribly, AND we've seen some of the most humane people in the world are meat eaters. We also want to discuss in this and in part two how no part of creation is above another and how spiritual practices of indigenous people show that.
Grab that horchata bbs, and let's have a chat! Enjoy!

Happy Spring Loved ones!
Guess what… new series alert! We’re getting into our diets, as herbalists! We always say food is medicine, and we want you to understand that plants as food IS also herbal medicine. We breakdown the nutritional profiles of veggies, define vegan, vegetarian and plant-based. Above all, we give vegans their flowers for holding down an extreme part of the diet spectrum that has benefited all of us.
This is a powerful intro for this new series! We can’t wait for you all to get into it with us!! Grab a genmaicha hot or over ice and an apple, and let’s get it poppin’!

Isss a beautiful day babes,
So happy to be with you today, sharing another episode in our “Sex as Medicine” series! Today we are continuing the conversation of being open with your sexuality and what you do with that freedom, We believe that you can speak up, say it with your breast(s) if you will and we believe that Mullein can be your plant ally to do so. We shout out our Auntie Dr. Kim Tall-Bear and her giving us an indigenous framework and language for the kinship and relationship building we already do... in Karina and Asia’s relationship... and other ways we operate in our community.
So pour up a glass or mug of spiced hibiscus (sorrel) and enjoy this amazing episode!

Hey bbs,
We back with the Resin Residency! We’re so excited to get into an old, sacred fave… Frankincense! It’s well known from the Baby Jesus story, AND there is so much more to learn about this sacred and ancient resin. From being sewn into clothing to being a chewing gum… we’ve share so much in just 40min.
Let’s stop saying PSLs are basic, y’all! Grab one from your fave coffee shop, be blessed and turn on the pod. You’re gonna love this episode!

Greetings, loved ones!
This is a reprise of one of our favorite episodes to prepare the folks for our upcoming course... SOUL FOOD GENIUS!! Enjoy!
Brought to you from North Carolina... we’re being petty about eating RAW GREENS. Many of our ancestors derived good eats and nutrition from green veggies, cooked low and slow. So, why are people now eating raw greens? They are probably disconnected from culture and sacred foods, they’re just too busy, or they don’t know that you cannot derive the nutrients from these foods without cooking. We’re here to educate y’all. Please take time for yourself, and make this sacred food with us!
Enjoy, eat, and COOK THOSE GREENS!
Here are some resources of items we've discussed in this week's POD:
- Everyday Utopia by Kristen R. Ghodsee
- Justin Robinson’s IG @countrygentlemancooks
- Raw Foods and Cooked Plant Foods
- Reclaiming the ancient Wheat
- Raw food impact on the thyroid
- Fiber feeds your microbiome
- What are superfoods?
- Apiaceae or Umbelliferae is a plant family that includes celery, carrot and parsley family, and are also called umbellifers.
Shoutouts!

Essential oils are a very particular and dangerous medicine. We break down spagyric alchemy, the process of making essential oils, and some of the MLMs associated with the sale of essential oils.
This is only part one, so listen up and come back next week for part. 2!

- Petty Chai
- Hathorne Mead and Peach Mead

Greetings, friends!
This is our final episode recording in North Carolina, and this time we were in Durham! We’re being petty about eating RAW GREENS. Many of our ancestors derived good eats and nutrition from green veggies, cooked low and slow. So, why are people now eating raw greens? They are probably disconnected from culture and sacred foods, they’re just too busy, or they don’t know that you cannot derive the nutrients from these foods without cooking. We’re here to educate y’all. Please take time for yourself, and make this sacred food with us!
Enjoy, eat, and COOK THOSE GREENS!
Here are some resources of items we've discussed in this week's POD:
- Learn all about sacred collard greens in Justin Robinson’s @countrygentlemancooks Ethnobotany of Soul Food Class on IG!
- Yoga Nidra
- What are “tonics”?
- Raw Foods and Cooked Plant Foods
- Reclaiming the ancient Wheat
- Raw food impact on the thyroid
- Fiber feeds your microbiome
- What are superfoods?
- Apiaceae or Umbelliferae is a plant family that includes celery, carrot and parsley family, and are also called umbellifers.
