About this episode

In this episode, Rosalee de la Forêt and CoreyPine Shane discuss the emotional healing properties of the mimosa herb and its nuanced benefits.

What if one of the most beloved herbs for emotional healing isn’t just uplifting—but helps us gently reconnect with parts of ourselves we’ve had to tuck away to survive? In this episode, I sit down with CoreyPine Shane to discuss mimosa ( Albizia julibrissin ), often affectionately referred to as the “tree of happiness.” And what a fitting name! Mimosa is celebrated as a joyful, uplifting herb, and is commonly reached for to help relieve anxiety and depression—though as CoreyPine shares in this conversation, its benefits are much more nuanced than that. CoreyPine also shares thoughtful insights about trauma, the body, and emotional healing, describing how herbs like mimosa may help us gently release what’s been held for too long. Along the way, we explore what it means to work with plants not just as remedies, but as companions for moving through life’s most tender and transformative moments—and the deep comfort of making connections with the living world around us. Don’t miss CoreyPine’s Peach Mimosa Elixir recipe! This fragrant, uplifting cordial might just be “happiness in a bottle”. You can download your beautifully illustrated recipe card here . By the end of this episode…
