Harnessing the Power of Herbs: A Conversation with Meghan on Seasonal Healing, Women’s Health & Ayurveda

In this episode of the Peaceful Power Podcast, I’m thrilled to welcome back Meghan, a skilled herbalist whose work bridges ancient plant wisdom with modern wellness. Herbalism offers a profound way to connect with nature’s rhythms, and Meghan’s insights provide a beautiful guide for integrating seasonal plant allies into our daily lives.

Together, we explore how working with herbs can support both body and mind through the changing seasons, especially for women navigating perimenopause, burnout, and hormonal shifts. Meghan shares her approach to blending Ayurveda and Western herbalism, practical ways to begin an herbal journey, and how to cultivate a deeper relationship with the plants we use for healing.

We also discuss common misconceptions about herbal medicine, the importance of sustainable sourcing, and simple yet powerful herbal practices that can bring balance and vitality into your life. Plus, Meghan reveals some of her favorite plant allies and gives us a special weekly challenge to help you start incorporating herbal wisdom into your routine.

Tune in and discover how to align with nature’s cycles, nurture your well-being, and embrace the healing power of herbs.
