In this episode of Mocktails with Marina, I sit down with herbalist, educator, and author Rachelle Robinett to explore the world of modern herbalism and how plants can transform your health, mindset, and daily routines without the overwhelm. Whether you're a wellness beginner, sober-curious, or diving deeper into functional ingredients, this episode is a must-listen.
We talk about how herbs for anxiety, digestion, sleep, and focus can be seamlessly integrated into your lifestyle, how to cut through the noise of the wellness industry, and why intentional routines, like making tea, can be just as nourishing as the herbs themselves.
Rachelle shares practical, science-backed tips from her new book, NATURALLY: The Herbalist’s Guide to Health and Transformation, and offers insights on simplifying your wellness journey through the power of adaptogens, nootropics, nervines, and more.
We also dig into the emotional side of plant medicine, the value of starting small, and why reconnecting with nature is key to sustainable self-care in today’s fast-paced world.
Whether you're building a non-alcoholic lifestyle, experimenting with functional botanicals, or just curious about the healing power of herbs, this episode delivers clarity, calm, and serious plant wisdom.
