S3: E8 - Sometimes We Just Need a Good Story
Sometimes we all need to step away from our busy lives and get lost in a good story. After being forced to slow down for a few days, I watched several movies that all seemed to ask the same question: What do you really want? In this episode, I share how those stories reminded me to think about what truly matters, appreciate the life I have, and make room for a little more beauty, rest, and joy. Maybe the laundry can wait… and maybe a good story is exactly what we need.Get my free 7 day Reset Journal when you sign up for the newsletter here: https://edpursuits.kit.com/resetjournal1Follow me on instagram @edpursuitscom and facebook @edpursuitsCheck out the blog at edpursuits.com https://edpursuits.kit.com/products/natural-support-for-menstrual-migraines-e-boo

Comfrey is one of my favorite herbs—and one that has been part of my family’s natural wellness journey for years.In this episode, I share how I first learned about comfrey, why it earned the nickname “knit bone,” some of the controversy surrounding its use, and the many ways I’ve used it over the years.We’ll talk about homemade salves, herbal traditions, garden uses, animal feed, and a few personal stories of how comfrey has shown up in our home. I’ll also share the difference between common comfrey and Russian comfrey, plus my simple process for making comfrey-infused salve.Whether you’re new to herbs or already growing comfrey in your garden, I hope this episode encourages you to learn more about one of nature’s most versatile plants.As always, do your own research, trust your intuition, and remember—you don’t have to do everything perfectly to live a meaningful life.Resources mentioned:My awesome herbalist friend, Christie: https://www.facebook.com/share/1H17iwTAND/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://mytrueessence.net/product/pain-be-gone-dream-cream/Christie's process for making pain be gone:https://youtu.be/K_aBE1UFrd4?is=3Jk8dtruWWl7no5Mstudies on comfrey: https://www.comfreycentral.comyoutube channel on making comfrey salve: https://youtube.com/@kozanskrazykreations?si=dqmiplIy-_vTAETEGet my free 7 day Reset Journal when you sign up for the newsletter here: https://edpursuits.kit.com/resetjournal1Follow me on instagram @edpursuitscom and facebook @edpursuitsCheck out the blog at edpursuits.com https://edpursuits.kit.com/products/natural-support-for-menstrual-migraines-e-boo

S3:E3 Working With Your Body Instead of Fighting It
For years, I expected myself to have the same energy, patience, and productivity every single day — and when I didn’t, I thought something was wrong with me.In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve been learning recently about the female cycle, perimenopause, and the importance of working with our bodies instead of constantly fighting against them.We’ll talk about the difference between the first and second half of the cycle, why some weeks feel so much easier than others, how perimenopause can amplify everything, and why I wish I had understood this years ago while raising kids.I also share how constantly pushing through eventually led me to burnout — and how I’m learning to be more gentle with myself, nourish my body differently, rest without guilt, and pay attention to what my body is actually asking for.If you’ve been feeling exhausted, emotional, overwhelmed, or frustrated with yourself… this episode is a reminder that your body isn’t broken. It may just need something different.And as always — you’re doing better than you think.Get my free 7 day Reset Journal when you sign up for the newsletter here: https://edpursuits.kit.com/resetjournal1Follow me on instagram @edpursuitscom and facebook @edpursuitsCheck out the blog at edpursuits.com with a printable on essential oils coming soon.edpursuits.com/migrainereliefhttps://edpursuits.kit.com/products/natural-support-for-menstrual-migraines-e-boo
