What if the solution to stress, sleep struggles, or hormonal shifts wasn’t another pill, but a plant?

In this episode, I sit down with Rachelle Robinett, RH (AHG), clinical herbalist, educator, and author of NATURALLY: The Herbalist’s Guide to Health and Transformation (Penguin Life, 2025). Rachelle blends traditional plant wisdom with modern science, making herbalism simple, approachable, and deeply transformative.

We talk about:
🌿 The biggest misconceptions about herbalism, and why it’s more relevant than ever.
🌿 Everyday ways you’re probably already practicing herbalism without realizing it.
🌿 Herbs and practices for stress, anxiety, and resilience.
🌿 Natural supports for women in perimenopause and menopause.
🌿 How to connect with nature and plants, even in the middle of a city.
🌿 Lessons Rachelle has learned from living in Costa Rica, a Blue Zone known for longevity and health.

This conversation will inspire you to rethink your relationship with plants and nature and see how simple shifts, like drinking tea with intention or adding herbs to your meals, can create real transformation.

In this episode of the Soul Aligned Self Care Podcast, I sit down with Beth Mowry, a certified Forest Therapy Guide and founder of the Awen Center in the Catskills. Beth shares how forest therapy, also known as forest bathing, helps us reconnect to nature, lower stress, boost immunity, and find perspective in our fast-paced, tech-driven world.

We explore:
🌲 The difference between a Forest Therapist and a Forest Therapy Guide
🌲 How spending just two hours in nature can lower blood pressure, reduce cortisol, and improve creativity
🌲 Why community and connection are at the heart of the Awen Center’s mission
🌲 How city dwellers can still create meaningful connections with nature
🌲 The power of rituals, community celebrations, and women’s circles for healing

Beth also shares the story of Great Great Grandfather Pine, an elder tree on the Awen Center property that holds a deep presence and reminds us of our interconnectedness with the natural world.

This episode is packed with inspiration on how to create grounding, peace, and belonging through both nature and community.

What if the very thing we’ve been taught to see as weakness, needing support, is actually the key to our strength?

In this episode, I’m diving into why community-based wellness is more important than ever for women. We’ll explore the myth of “doing it all alone,” the science behind collective care, and the ancient wisdom of women in Okinawa, Japan who form lifelong friendship circles called moai, groups that literally support them through every stage of life.

You’ll learn:
🌿 Why isolation is harming us, and how sisterhood heals.
🌿 The powerful rituals and routines that restore trust, resilience, and joy.
🌿 Five practical ways to start building your own women’s circle today.
🌿 How reclaiming community is the path to reclaiming our power.

And before we dive in, I share details about an upcoming end-of-summer retreat in 2026 in the Catskills. It’s going to be a space for women to rest, reconnect, and rise together. If this calls to you, send me an email at tina@tinastinson.com with the subject line RETREAT and I’ll make sure you’re notified as soon as it opens.
