Listen "Rooted in Ritual with Natalie Roling: An Intimate Exploration of Friendship, Nature, and Entrepreneurship"
Episode Synopsis
EPISODE 12 🌸 Here’s to the rhythms of life, and to navigating it with friends who stick by you through silliness, hardship, and creativity. Join me as I interview my dearest friend and fellow entrepreneur, Natalie Roling.
Natalie is the owner of Taproot Apothecary, an herbal farm and apothecary whose mission is to bring the healing power of nature into people's’ lives through food, natural medicines, and nature connection.
In this conversation we talk about:
Silly, uplifting, and intimate moments of our friendship
Pursuing joy and spreading that to others
Dance as an outlet and approach to life
Motherhood (including miscarriage)
Coaching approaches and experiences that have supported us
Our weekly Main Character Energy Mastermind and how we maintain our friendship through accountability, compassion, and celebration
Integrating, adopting, and navigating multiple identities
Cultivating worthiness and developing confidence
Grief
Rituals, herbalism, and seasonal nourishment
Tips for nervous and immune system support + herbal first aid
Reminders of goodness and worthiness
Natalie’s beautiful herbal goodies (including a bonus code!)
