Pleasure, Grief, and Sleep: Rachelle Robinett on Writing Naturally

This is part two of my conversation with herbalist and writer Rachelle Robinett, recorded live in LA in a very intimate room full of friends while talking about her book Naturally. In this part, we get into our favorite themes from her book: pleasure, pain, transformation, grief, and the ways creative expression helps us process. We also talk about sleep hygiene, the connection between slowing down and self-awareness, why knowing the state you’re trying to shift matters before reaching for anything, and how herbalism can help when you know what you’re actually seeking. Toward the end, we open it up to questions about adaptogens, nervines, kava, tinctures, fresh versus dried herbs, and what daily life looks like now that Rachelle lives in Costa Rica, where she says she’s practicing herbalism less like a system and more like a way of living.
