What can seeds teach us about our bodies, our relationship with the Earth, and trusting the timing of our lives?

In this episode, Lindsay and Scott sit down with clinical herbalist, integrative health educator, bodyworker, and Herbal Womb Wisdom podcast host Kay’aleya Hunnybee for a winding conversation about plants, womb wisdom, seed keeping, and what it means to live in deeper relationship with the Earth.

Kay’aleya shares the unexpected path that brought her from growing up in New York City with very little relationship to plants, to farming in India, studying birth work and midwifery, practicing herbalism and bodywork, and eventually spending years immersed in the world of seed keeping.

Together, they explore the magic held within a seed, the parallels between seed keeping and midwifery, the wisdom of our bodies and the Earth, and why sometimes the most important thing we can do is slow down enough to listen.

In this episode, we explore:

• Kay’aleya’s journey from feeling disconnected from plants to building a life deeply rooted in relationship with the Earth
• How farming in India transformed her understanding of plants and agriculture
• Her path through birth work, midwifery, herbalism, and bodywork
• Seed keeping as a form of “seed midwifery”
• The ancestral and cultural stories carried through seeds
• Trusting the timing of seeds, bodies, and natural cycles
• Allowing ourselves to experience fallow seasons
• Why observation and listening can be some of our greatest teachers
• Letting go of the pressure to move quickly and remembering that it’s okay for things to take time
