In this soulful and deeply vibey mid-season episode, Drew Beats and BJ Buds welcome Kimberly, founder of Elev8 Earth, into their living room-turned-studio for a conversation that flows as naturally as the plant medicine she champions.
Kimberly dives into her dual passion for holistic wellness and ritualistic self-care, walking us through the two branches of her business: Prana Pedals, her handcrafted line of smokable and sippable herbal blends, and her flower-friendly yoga experiences designed to bring body, breath, and plant into deep alignment. She shares her personal story of healing from long COVID using mullein leaf, why sativa strains help her stay focused and awake, and how ancient practices and intentionality are woven into everything she creates—from her teas to her sound baths (yes, complete with live flute!).
The crew vibe out over TLC’s CrazySexyCool on vinyl, go deep into topics like plant-based healing, the spiritual origins of smoking rituals, and the unintentional brilliance of early 2000s anti-drug PSAs. Expect lots of laughs, a few tangents (hello coffee bean origin stories), and a heartfelt celebration of healing, empowerment, and community.
Plus: Local shout-outs, upcoming events, and where you can find Kimberly’s products and classes around Charlotte!
