Stories Not to Take to the Grave ~ Soul Alchemy with Plant Allies

About Stories Not to Take to the Grave ~ Soul Alchemy with Plant Allies

This podcast is inspired by the rich sharing of traditional wisdom and know how through story telling. My name is Michelle Rosetta, and I believe the remedy our communities deeply require for health and well-being is rooted in our own raw and unedited tales. Some of what we fear to speak or that which is seemingly mundane to us, is exactly what those around us may need to hear in the way we speak our narrative. I am a mother of four, an entrepreneur and a clinical herbalist. Plant medicine being one of the modalities I work with to assist my community. I have the tendency to make questionable choices, jump off things I shouldn’t, along with the uncanny ability to turn it around to land on my feet. It is not only in victory that deep healing lies but also in our mishaps and trials. Independently and with guests we will cover topics to support sovereign journeys to our best versions of wellness. I am not a doctor, and clinical herbalists are not licensed in Canada, anything discussed pertaining to plants, protocols, and health in general are for educational purposes only. Every…body is different. What works for one may not be the answer for another. It is your responsibility and duty to decide whether a course of action recommended to you, no matter it be by your family doctor or natural practitioner, is right for you. During this podcast we will grow our personal discernment abilities and learn to take off the layers covering the self that lies within, so we may listen in a more profound way. We are not perfect but on the verge of unearthing our greatest potentialities, and all it may take is a few words spoken with connection and authenticity to take our first step on the path to transform into a more truthful version of self.

   Broken to Whole: A Veteran's Path to Healing With Cannabis

   In this episode I take a look at Cannabis from a herbalist point of view. Our guest Tony Noakes, biker, veteran and retired fire chief, talks about what it means to walk through the fire, along with his journey to introduce this plant ally into his life and how it supported him to go pill free. Similar to many of our herbs, Cannabis was dismissed and suppressed in the 1800’s after a long and documented place in medicinal protocols throughout the nations. The earliest evidence of cannabis cultivation dates to over 10,000 years ago in modern-day China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan. It was likely used primarily as a fiber, food, and as a ritualistic drug. The earliest documentation of medicinal use began with the legendary Emperor Shen Nung (2700 BCE), known as the “father” of Chinese medicine. He saw Cannabis as an alternative to magic in fighting disease. We discuss the complexities of this herb, along with learning how not only the energetics of a herbal protocol impacts results, but also whether it will create the environment for health and wellness. Not every herb is for every body. Tony discusses the four pillars of bike life and how this influences who he is. As an after thought I also see how truth and plant medicine are entirely aligned. The unveiling of truth on the planet, will equally result in medicinal justice and health.

   The Healing, Magic + Tragic Life of Bees | Beeswax is Liquid Gold for Skincare

   In this episode, I talked with arborist and beekeeper Jasper Finn Drost. I review why I use beeswax in many of my products, along with introducing the supportive herbal benefits of our plant ally Solidago or Goldenrod for the urinary tract and respiratory systems. Does the tea really smell like stinky socks!? Jasper begins with answering my question about exploding bee endophalli and we discuss his perspective on the ethics of beekeeping. This is a conversation about community, mental health, clarity around ‘saving the bees,’ and necessary steps to protect the native bee populations. Jasper also relays some tips on how to keep going in ‘sticky’ situations and what he has learned about life from working with the bee community. I really didn’t know the reality of life in the hive. The drama, tragedy and purpose offers a fresh perspective and respect for this ethereal and hard working collective. #beekeeper #beekeeping #beelife #organicfarming #inspiringstories #intentionalcommunity #farmlife #clinicalherbalist #herbalism #plantmedicine #storytelling #goldenrod #plantally #beeswax #naturalskincare Connect with our guest: Instagram ~ ⁠⁠@jasperthenationalnarc More About Your Host: Michelle Rosetta has over 20 years of experience in the natural beauty industry and is now a practicing Clinical Herbalist.

   Keeping it Dirty Off-Grid Style ~ Boost the Brain with Lemon Balm

   In this episode I throw off the dress and step into some overalls to talk with Harmony Evans from Wild Ginger Farmstead, an off-grid farm in Echo Bay, Ontario. I was feeling the drain of the city, and as I watched it show up on my skin I knew some much-needed barefoot time with hands in the earth was urgent. I headed out to Wild Ginger Farms to restore and recharge. We introduce the medicinal tool kit that Melissa officinalis or lemon balm has to offer, while Harmony relays her first day alone on the farm, along with the realization that this venture may be somewhat more difficult than anticipated. Harmony’s mission is to grow food for her community while listening to what the spirit of the land along with all the communities involved in that biosphere requires and wishes, will begin to bridge the gap that has developed between nature and harvesting; human and our terrestrial mother. It is our job to rediscover the role of the human as a part of our environment in this grand living tapestry. Harmony also offers an unexpected tip to keep going when we may want to give up. This episode is the inspiration you need to do difficult things, and believe that you can make it work. #farmstead #homesteader #organicfarming #inspiringstories #intentionalcommunity #farmlife #offgridliving #clinicalherbalist #herbalism #plantmedicine #storytelling #lemonbalm #plantally Connect with our guest: Instagram ~ ⁠⁠@wildgingerfarmstead Facebook ~ ⁠⁠Wild Ginger Farmstead More About Your Host: Michelle Rosetta has over 20 years of experience in the natural beauty industry and is now a practicing Clinical Herbalist.

   Captain Bill Spills the ‘T’ on Secret Stairways + Kona Coffee in the 90's Financial Sector Excess

   The medicine, or poison, is in the dose. In this episode, we learn how the coffee bean accompanies Captain Bill, a retired American Express sales executive now marine captain, through his firsthand humorous, seemingly haphazard beginnings during the rise of the 90’s excess in the Chicago financial sector to the eventual fall of empires and devastation for many. He spills the tea on the mission to hemorrhage money, tax loss carryforward ventures, secret stairways, and yacht boardroom parties. I allowed the coffee bean to direct this recording, and there are so much background sound and mishaps. My arms move wildly, and after we lost Captain Bill due to tech errors his sound comes back with a crackle. This is what a podcast looks like on coffee for me. Captain Bill’s delivery, nonetheless, is like a reset for the parasympathetic nervous system or the ‘rest and relax’ function. We learn about the herbal actions of the coffee bean, along with the consequences of overconsumption. As promised a DIY liquid coffee toner to tighten and brighten your skin. To make this coffee face toner you will need:  Freshly brewed coffee  An empty bottle  Cotton pads 1. Take some freshly brewed coffee (organic if possible) and place a cup of it in the fridge to cool. 2. Let it cool for at least one hour. 3. Once cooled, transfer to a clean bottle. 4. Pour some cold coffee onto the cotton ball and dab onto a clean face, focusing around tired areas such as eyes. 5. Leave on for 15-20 minutes and rinse with cold water. 6. Pat dry and follow up with a natural moisturizer. Check out our Hotty Balm at bee23.ca After use, put this bottle inside the fridge, as a cool application feels super refreshing. #entrepreneur #financialsector #financialsecrets #coffeebean #coffee #salesman #the90s #wealth #americanexpress #executivelife #clinicalherbalist #herbalism #plantmedicine #storytelling #nontoxicbeauty Connect with our guest: Cell ~ ⁠⁠(773) 576-5918 email ~ ⁠⁠bingtoy@hotmail.com More About Your Host: Michelle Rosetta has over 20 years of experience in the natural beauty industry and is now a practicing Clinical Herbalist.

   The Day I Met My Wolf With Plant Ally Red Clover - Hormones, Liver Detoxification & Eczema

   In this episode, I recount a slightly cringey childhood story taking place in a noticeable 80's motif. This is the day that I first met my wolf. I tell my tale making note of the plant allies that had accompanied me. We learn about the nature of Poplar and Birch trees, and their role in Anishinaabe and Finnish culture. I briefly point out the multi-dimensional nature of words when they move from, or through, the human body into a narrative, along with the power associated. Trifolium pratense or Red Clover comes with me on this adventure and I cover the medicinal qualities this herb has to offer.

   Fire, Shame & Worthiness | Tips to the Road Less Travelled

   In this episode, I’m joined by my plant ally, Urtica dioica or Stinging Nettle, along with Megan Khuu, the founder of The Happy Healing Heart. She is a spiritual coach and energy healer who combines intuitive guidance, Reiki, and crystals to help empower people to release old stories, rediscover their worth, and realign with their true energy and purpose. This recording caught the fire and thinning veils of the end of October. I touched on subjects that I now question whether I should have spoken on. Megan delivers a raw account of the moment she realized her six-figure career was killing her and the experience of facing shame along with the eventual embodiment of her chosen entrepreneurial journey. Megan discloses how she utilizes her ethereal caring and cruel phantom aunties to guide and motivate her. We also discuss not only the opportunity, but the power found in following a less traveled role in your community. Megan weighs in on the eight pillars of wealth that may not be what you think.

   Danger!! Be Wary the Weight Loss Patch + Plant Options

   In this episode, I’m joined by my plant ally, green tea, and Kolby Romard to discuss the popular Berberine + NAD 10-in-1 microneedle patches, which are marketed for weight loss, firmer skin, and a range of other health benefits. We examine the risks of companies exploiting consumers through questionable claims and undisclosed ingredients. We also explore concerns about the GLP-1 class of drugs, including brands like Ozempic, and the adverse reactions associated with them. We also talk about why a slower, gentler approach to caring for the body with whole plants may be more beneficial in the long term than seeking harsh, fast results. Along the way, we share several plant-based options that may support your personal health and wellness journey.

   What's the Download on Divine Timing, Mugwort and Mushrooms!!?

   In this episode Kolby Romard, the founder of Love Reflected, and I get together for a more informal observation about what’s going down in our current month. Kolby creates a clothing brand built to inspire confidence, self-worth, and connection through the message of self-love. We discuss themes such as divine timing that appears to be a present pertinent lesson. Divine timing is not always perfectly planted roses and what we hope for. However, it is a very important guide in our growth and to our path of greatest potential, along with protecting us from ourselves when necessary. I discuss what I learn from Mugwort and how this grandmother put me in my place, for my benefit and those around me. I also talk about a recent fungi experience and potentially my unskillful choice that led to an important lesson about allowing oneself to be misunderstood. Kolby shares entrepreneurial tips about getting out of your head. She discusses the importance of people disliking us, and how this strengthens our team; those seen and unseen in our human experience. Kolby also touches on ways can we stay sane and grounded while participating in life and exploring the realm of Spirit. She also touches on ways can we stay sane and grounded while participating in life and exploring the realm of Spirit. Along with why Kolby was struck by Allan Watts and taking notes listening to Gary Vee! It is also very interesting to me that my idea of self and how I perceive the world has already shifted greatly from this recording. I feel we are in a time of immense growth and inner standing. With this said, there is no need to change up parts of such content as it is a rolling narrative and such is the point of this podcast – to dig through the layers, get dirty and talk about it along the way.

   Accused of Witchcraft in my Underwear (Authorities Called...like What!?)

   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.

    It's Alright to Be the Villain | Stay Grounded on the Path

    This episode is just in time for the autumn season, as we have an unseen host on the episode who refuses to be removed! Nonetheless, Vanessa from Arcanum Iter and I march forth together to observe the mystery and walk behind the veil. Vanessa shares her top three tips for staying grounded and glowing while on the path from her wise woman story. Her journey to uncover the mystery began from a feeling of something beyond the veil beckoning her to know more. I am still due to my own bloodline trauma and the residue left in the collective conscious, fearful to discuss some of the topics we bring up. I have a very real terror left in the back of my mind that I may be burned or silenced; do not speak about such things, do not stand out, do not let people see you, and so on and so forth. We discuss the necessity of allowing yourself to be the villain in someone else’s narrative, as it may be a prerequisite to your most aligned path. We acknowledge the courage and belief in self this often requires. Vanessa offers strategies that may be applied to our day to live a more true, grounded and full life, that will never leave you lonely or wanting. I talk about some of my wolfy issues and Venessa offers us a short reading. The power to change the future lies within.

    Lost Power of the Word & Unearthing Motherwort for When You Need a Hug

    In the Intro to this episode, we discuss what happens in the organic telling and receiving of a story. I talk about the transference of information at a cellular level, and the mass initiation humanity is currently in. I also touch on how our services and products in the world may only be a part of the whole in our soul mission; that when we feel the 'calling' to do a particular act it does not mean that we show up in our whole ability. It will still take time, practice, and faith to follow the path laid out. I discuss why it is important for our subtle body to have the space to connect with narrative and why words hold power to open worlds. I also, through my latest personal challenge of what I call the 'spiral,' talk about plant supports for anxiety, emotional balance, and assistance along our personal road. I also take some space to observe how the unearthing of the lost medicine of storytelling is indelibility connected to the powerful plant ally Motherwort.

    The Neighbours from Heel & Plants for our Emergency Kits

    In this episode I begin to practice my story telling abilities with an embarrassing learning experience. A problem for me is that I feel a need to filter what comes out of my mouth and for a good story moving past this may be necessary. This tale would be so much better with all the parts, nonetheless I still touch on the points I want to make. I’m not sure how successful I was in describing the theme of how our spirit, mind and body each has a representation of a specific thought or energy in our daily events, but that is what I wanted to do. One happening has three versions of its manifestation. When I hurt my sole, I really did hurt my soul. I will talk about the opportunity to learn in what appear to be awful situations. I also discuss the responsibility we have for our environment and to own what we may be accountable for, even when we initially feel like a victim. I observe how important it is to go through the healing process and not take short cuts, if we are going to learn and truly shift for good through our trials. I will discuss some of the clues that plants offer us to know how they work in the body, without having a book in front of you. I also bring up specific herbs that I used to help heal my heel, and they are not the hero herbs that you may think. It reminds me of how we take for granted what is often already in the cupboard. I’m happy to report since this recording the situation has been resolved and our neighbours from heel have moved on.

    The Forgotten Placenta with Adrian, Anna and Aria (Really, they ran back for it!)

    I recorded this episode in 2024 with Adrian Neagu, Anna Cyzon-Neagu and their then two-week-old daughter Aria born on the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. I have so much gratitude that Adrian and Anna entrusted me with such an intimate time. We talk about the chaos and blessing of their unexpected pregnancy. How it not only tested them as individuals but strengthened the bond they share and their own personal discernment in life. They felt being in the entertainment world prepared them fully to take the birthing stage. Anna discusses the unnecessary fear-based opinions that were shared with her as an expecting mother, and how this experience has given her an inner standing of allowing yourself to grow and move into alignment, rather than stubbornly fighting for the story you think you want. We also discuss the many versions of who we are, and the internal monsters that we are learning to grow through. She shares some humorous Polish wisdom and what it looks like to keep her online commitments while leaking and breast feeding, two things of which she did not see herself doing. What is for you will find you! Adrian offers important ‘how to’s’ on advocating for self and baby when birthing in a hospital setting, along with what happened when forgetting the placenta in the communal freezer. Together they remind us of when we are in a place of allowing, this life script often has much more to offer than what we are able to conceive of. Nonetheless, we must know we are the directors of this story, and it is up to us to feel for what is right for our individual selves, along with the ability to stand in that power. How to connect with the guests: Anna Cyzon-Neagu www.cyzonmusic.com IG @annacyzon Adrian Neagu www.adianneagu.com IG @its.adrian.n 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 and to acquire grace in what we must let go to welcome the next level of fabulousness.
