#34 Healing Addiction Naturally with Brigitte Mars

What does it really take to break free from addiction and what if plants held more answers than we've been told?

And what if those same plants could also help us face the one thing we fear even more than our addictions — death?

In this episode, I sit down with herbalist and natural medicine legend Brigitte Mars to talk about the natural way of healing from addiction, the healing power of plant medicine, and why your lawn might be more of a pharmacy than you think. Brigitte Mars is someone I deeply admire for her decades of lived experience with plants, healing, and service. She has spent over 60 years working with herbal medicine, authored 18 books, and serves as both a psychedelic sitter and end-of-life doula.
