Susan Ottaviano's beautiful new book, Plants That Heal, is available NOW — and it's the midlife companion you didn't know you needed. Co-written with Chris Young and illustrated by Susan herself, it's filled with herbal teas, calming bath rituals, nourishing recipes, and natural beauty treatments to ground and restore you through every season of life.

In this episode, Wendy Valentine sits down with Susan — a musician, painter, food stylist, and endlessly creative artist — to talk about reinvention, embracing change, and why we get to keep evolving in midlife. Susan shares how she has continually reinvented herself, the small daily rituals that bring her back to center, and the mantra that says it all: “the pivot is the process.”

Warm, soulful, and deeply encouraging, this conversation is a reminder that your creativity and your dreams still matter — at any age. Pour yourself a cup of tea and settle in. 🌿
