Episode Synopsis

In this titillating true story, I give an account of the comical time I was accused of witchcraft, and the realizations it gave me about the lingering tainted view of the divine feminine in the collective conscious. I share my current existential challenge, and I ponder if these differing ideals of the world can co-exist at all, or is the forced removal required of one narrative so as to ensure the survival of the other. Could we also be working on an entirely novel world narrative?

I discuss the plant allies that came out of my destroyed herbal garden, to ultimately have my back and what I learned. I also incorrectly stated that I introduced the characters of the ‘downstairs neighbours,’ in Episode 3 but it was in fact in Episode 2.

More About Your Host:

Michelle Rosetta has over 20 years of experience in the natural beauty industry and is now a practicing Clinical Herbalist. She created BEE23 Natural Beauty in 2007, a non-toxic small-batch product line for herself and others, not only to have superior products to use but as an educational platform to share with her community what is not working and harmful in synthetic chemical-based brands. She has travelled across Canada and to Los Angeles with this brand, along with freelance writing encompassing tips for positive and healthy skin care.

Michelle is interested in the deeply emotional, philosophical and energetic relationship we have with ideals of 'beauty,' looking to reconcile this with the love of self and our purpose which lies far deeper than reaching for the latest cosmetic cream. Her life has been a practice in finding magic in a messy kitchen with a full house, while attempting to maintain a regimen of 'working' on self. The journey continues as she now walks into a new era of coming to terms with undeniable aging of the physical self, seeking knowledge to empower in areas we have control, while acquiring grace and gratitude in what we must let go to welcome the next level of fabulousness.
