Planet Spoonie

Welcome to PLANET SPOONIE, the podcast for lymies and spoonies healing themselves and the world. Together we'll explore what it means to be a lymie and spoonie, how the honeybee can guide us on our healing journey, and why all chronic illness is intimately linked to the climate crisis. We'll talk about the core foundations of holistic nutrition, herbal medicine, nature connection, and everything in between. These are the same core foundations that helped me find healing while living with chronic lyme (years before I was diagnosed). Ultimately, the goal of this pod is to help you feel empowered, embodied, and connected to yourself, your body, your community, your culture + heritage, your local ecosystems, and the world at large! When we remember and reconnect, when we begin to work with our bodies and nature, healing becomes inevitable. Our bodies are a direct reflection of the ecosystems we inhabit, and just like this earth, our bodies know how to heal. This is what it means to be a spoonie living on a spoonie planet. The journey to healing is a mutualistic endeavor and I'm so grateful that you're here walking the path with me. Let's dig in!
