Listen "Knowing What Heals"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Myth of Knowing series, I talk with Jen Andrew, who is finishing a two-year program in community herbalism and works in communications at a disability rights nonprofit. She has a background in philanthropy, public libraries, peer support, healthcare, and public school advocacy. Jen’s journey includes herbalism, chronic illness, grief work, sobriety, and neurodivergent living, giving her a unique perspective on how we relate to our bodies, health, and the process of healing.We get curious about what heals, the both/and of natural and institutional medicine, healing as an ongoing process, curiosity as a healing tool, and talk about how the myth of knowing closes doors when it comes to ways of healing. Jen and I challenge the idea that there is one “right” way to take care of ourselves. Healing can happen in many ways, including the unknown, the rhythms and practices we make our own, and the trust and curiosity we have with ourselves.Links:The Flexner ReportTerra Sylva School of Botanical MedicineUmweltSophie StrandStaying with the Trouble by Donna HarawayAuDHD Flourishing Episode Sobriety While AuDHD + Gifted (the reason Jen and I met!)Rebelling websiteWork with me
