    34 - Reclaiming Sovereignty Through Nature, Intuition & Herbal Medicine with Courtney Tarbat of Feraly Rooted Essence

    In this deeply grounding conversation, I’m joined by Courtney Tarbat of Feraly Rooted Essence, a wild, earth-based herbalist living in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Together, we explore what it means to reconnect with nature, live cyclically with the seasons, and return to ancestral ways of wellness that honor both the land and the body. Courtney shares her journey from growing up outdoors, to competing as a Division II athlete, to studying kinesiology, to eventually shifting away from government-funded nutrition messaging and toward a more intuitive, land-based understanding of true vitality. Her passion for herbal medicine, wild foraging, and sovereignty over personal health led to the creation of her apothecary, Feraly Rooted Essence. What We Discuss Growing up rurally and how nature shaped her wellness journeyHow athleticism and kinesiology gave her an understanding of the human bodyWhat rewilding means and how ancestral wisdom guides her lifestyle The philosophy behind bioregional herbalism and working with the plants growing around you How her apothecary began organically through sharing products with friends Why her products are 100% essential-oil–free and the sustainability behind that choice Simple ways to reconnect with the land even if you live in a modern, indoor environmentConnect With Courtney Tarbat Instagram: @feraly.rooted.essence Website: feralyrootedessence.com Find her workshops, apothecary offerings, and nature-based wellness resources.

    33 - Is Your Comfort Zone Actually Comfortable?

    In today’s episode, Courtney builds on last week’s tough-love message (“Enough is Enough”) and dives into a powerful mindset shift: most of us aren’t actually comfortable in our comfort zone, we’re just familiar with it. She explores why we stay stuck in places that don’t feel good, how “fine” becomes the new normal, and why one small act of courage can lead to a life that feels far more spacious, supported, and genuinely comfortable. This short, impactful episode will leave you rethinking the way you define comfort and motivate you to take the small steps that build resilience, confidence, and a life you actually feel good in. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why the “comfort zone” often isn’t comfortable at all — it’s just predictableHow staying where you are tricks you into believing you’re “fine”How building resilience works the same way as training a muscleWhy doing hard things (even tiny ones) expands your capacity in every area of lifeLinks: Intuitive Eating Masterclass — December 2nd A live 90-minute class to help you trust your body, ditch food rules, and reconnect with your intuition. Connect with Courtney on Instagram: @healthywithcourtneyyIf You Enjoyed This Episode… Please subscribe, leave a rating or review, and share with a friend who might need a little encouragement to break out of their “comfortable” but not-so-comfortable patterns. It helps this podcast reach the women who need these messages most.

    32 - Enough is Enough. You Don't Have to Feel Like Crap Anymore.

    In today’s short and fiery episode, Courtney gets real about what it takes to finally stop tolerating feeling like crap and start taking ownership of your health. Because waiting for the “perfect time” — after the holidays, when life slows down, when the kids are older — only keeps you stuck in survival mode. And is just an excuse. This is your reminder that you don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. You just need to make one decision to start — and let that small shift build momentum. Tune in for the wake-up call you’ve been needing, and walk away with the clarity and motivation to take that first step toward feeling like yourself again. In This Episode: The truth about why you’re still feeling stuck (even when you “know what to do”)How to recognize when your body’s whispers have turned into screamsWhy waiting for the “perfect time” never worksThe life-changing power of deciding that enough is enoughResources & Links: Get Started Now: Courtney's ServicesFollow me on Instagram → @healthywithcourtneyy
