Katie Dalebout continues her conversation with herbalist Rachelle Robinett, exploring themes from her book 'Naturally'.

This is part two of my conversation with herbalist and writer Rachelle Robinett, recorded live in LA in a very intimate room full of friends while talking about her book Naturally. In this part, we get into our favorite themes from her book: pleasure, pain, transformation, grief, and the ways creative expression helps us process, and more.
