In this episode of Into the Woo, Ariana sits down with Deeva Green, founder of Plant Paper, for a conversation that starts in the cosmos… and ends in your bathroom. We get into Deeva's generational woo upbringing (think pendulums, homeopathy, TCM, and full-on intuitive parenting), how motherhood made her trust her instincts even more, and why "woo" became this weird insult people throw around when they're secretly curious. Then we go there: toilet paper. What's actually in conventional white toilet paper, why your most sensitive area deserves better, how to think about "clean" in a way that's not obsessive — and why this one swap is a quiet wellness + planet power move. Also: full moon chaos, plant medicine stories, modern medicine realities, and the simplest woo practice you can do today. If you've ever said "I'm not woo, I'm science" — this one's for you.
