Ideas Worth Sharing:
“Doing the work at the end of your life is also valuable. Don’t beat yourself up, have patience and kindness for yourself even at 70 or 80. Even as you are doing your own work, you are also doing work for your family members—with their awareness or without—because we are all connected energetically.” - Jennifer Zuckerman
“When it comes to tapering off prescription medication, each situation is different and everyone is unique. Don’t rush the process and be patient.” - Dr. Emily Kulpa
“[Plant medicines] bring light to the shadows within us. They also bring light to the shadows of the systems that they touch.” - Dr. Julia Mirer
