In this episode, we sit down with Alexandra and Luna Spadea — mother-daughter duo, herbalists, farmers market regulars and founders of Spadea Botanical Skincare. Together, they share how a deep connection to nature, ancestral plant wisdom, and community has shaped both their lives and their business. From Alexandra's awe of the land after moving from Germany to the United States to Luna's vision for bringing their work into the modern world, they remind us that healing often begins by slowing down, connecting with the land beneath our feet, and remembering the wisdom that has been within us all along.

We Explore:

- Alexandra's upbringing in Germany and how growing up immersed in herbal medicine inspired the work she does today

- how Spadea Botanical Skincare was born from homemade remedies and community love

- where “Spadea” comes from and it's grander meaning

- Luna’s entrepreneurial path and how she bridges tradition with innovation

- the power of plant medicine, intentional skincare, and creating products rooted in integrity

- how to connect with nature — even in the city — through mindfulness and observation

- the evolving mother-daughter relationship and lessons learned through collaboration

- the importance of community, mentorship, and intergenerational support
