Hawthorn is one of our most beloved herbs, an essential heart medicine for any apothecary.

A few ways we work with this plant include:

♥️ Calming anxiety and stress felt in the heart

♥️ Helping to lower high blood pressure and improving cardio function

♥️ Protecting the cardiovascular system for those with heart related health risks

♥️ Supporting people to learn the difference between an open heart and a bleeding heart

Hawthorn is one of six herbs we will be teaching more deeply about in this year’s Plant Teachings Collective.

This is a seven month journey of embodied herbalism. Comment “herbalism” and we’ll send you more details!

In today’s podcast episode of The Marie Embodied Podcast, I sit down with @altar.teagan.west for a conversation about something our modern world has largely forgotten: that healing isn’t done in isolation.

Teagan guides people into a deeper sense of belonging through ancestral healing and nature-based practices.

Together, we explore the sacred relationship between our bodies and the land, the longing so many of us hold for homecoming, and the medicine of reconnecting with our ancestors, our communities, and the living world around us.

In a culture that is hyper-focused on the individual, this episode acts as a gentle reminder that healing is profoundly relational, and we are never really alone.

Herbalism has been practiced for thousands of years, and continues to be one of the most common forms of medicine practiced worldwide.

From a simple cup of Chamomile tea, to a freshly made pesto, most people consume medicinal plants on a daily basis whether they call it herbalism or not.

In this week’s episode of The Marie Embodied Podcast, I sit down with herbalist and author Rachelle Robinette for a rich conversation about the power of plant medicine, and our inherent connection to the natural world.

Fear of failure is common, but just as many people are terrified of their own success.

Success means growth, which can feel destabilizing, exposing, and confronting.

I explore:

🦋 The fear of visibility and judgement

🦋 How social dynamics shape our relationship with success

🦋 The discomfort of outgrowing old identities

🦋 How to expand into a life that lights you up

If you’ve been craving more while also feeling resistance, this episode is for you!

In this week episode of The Marie Embodied Podcast I’m joined by Lauren LaRose, the visionary behind @wildrosesfestival - an annual gathering that brings together 1,000 women in celebration of connection, healing, and community.

Lauren shares her journey of becoming a mother during the isolation of COVID, and how that experience sparked a deep desire to rebuild the village so many women are missing.

What began as a personal need for connection has grown into a powerful movement for women to come together to dance, learn, breathe, and support one another in meaningful ways.

🌹 This conversation is a reminder of the power of women gathering and building the village together.

This week’s episode of The Marie Embdoied Podcast I explore how surprisingly hard it can be to shift from a life fueled by adrenaline and chaos into one rooted in regulation, ease, and alignment.

Even when life starts to feel “better,” calmer, more grounded, there can be a strange discomfort that comes with it.

I share my personal experience of recalibrating my entire way of being, including the identity shifts, the moments that felt confronting, and the unexpected challenge of learning to feel at home in a slower pace.

Inside the episode, I also walk through the practices that supported this transition:

🦋 Somatic therapy and embodiment work

🦋 Rewiring limiting beliefs

🦋 Expanding mindset and capacity

🦋Taking aligned, intentional steps

🦋 Building daily habits that create lasting change

In this week’s episode of The Marie Embodied Podcast, I open up about my experience as a highly sensitive person.

As someone who used to override my sensitivities and live a very fast-paced, overwhelming life, I have a lot to share on exactly how I’ve recalibrated in order to heal my nervous system and recover from burnout.

Whether you identify as highly sensitive, neurodivergent or simply feel things deeply, you’ll walk away with insights that help you honour how you’re wired.
