Vicky Salcido-Cobbe of Grandmother's Medicine on Community Supported Herbalism & Off-Grid Living [episode 29]
Vicky Salcido-Cobbe is an herbalist living at an off-grid homestead in northern California. We talk about how she transformed her life from partying and being hospitalized for stomach pains to being a healthy, happy wild woman living in beautiful relationship with the earth. We also cover:
- How having a common cold changed her life
- Teaching herbal folk medicine making through community supported herbalism
- Working with and being present with the plant spirits
- Running a business in regenerative ways
- How to move out of overwhelm and guilt when you feel like your actions aren’t enough
- Why we need to speak our thoughts and feelings in our communities
- Consuming less, eating cleaner, and localizing as a paradigm shift
"What would happen if we tuned into a deeper connection, an ancient wisdom, a deep understanding and knowing and trust in the vast everything? What then?"-Vicky Salcido-Cobbe
