    Ep 12. They called it witchcraft. Now, they call it “all in your head”

    Burned at the stake, gaslit in the clinic: Why the fight for women’s voices and herbal wisdom never ended. Five hundred years ago, if a woman lived outside the social order, understood the medicine of the land, and listened to her intuition, she was branded dangerous and threatened with the stake. Today, when a woman sits on an examination table knowing something is wrong with her body, the weapon is subtler, but the outcome is eerily similar: "It’s all in your head." In this raw, timely episode timed with Samhain and ancestral remembrance, we trace the unbroken historical line connecting the persecution of traditional female healers to the modern epidemic of medical gaslighting. We look past the folklore caricature of the "witch" to uncover the reality: ordinary village herbalists, midwives, and economically independent "spinsters" who were systematically silenced when healing was privatized, professionalized, and walled off from women. From the historic stake burnings of our ancestors to the sterile exam rooms where women are still handed a birth control prescription instead of an investigation, this conversation is an invitation to channel ancestral rage into modern self-advocacy—and to stop apologising for using your voice. In this episode, we explore: The Slur of the "Witch": How institutional religion and male-dominated medical guilds criminalised ordinary community herbalists and midwives to monopolise the business of healthcare. The Crime of Autonomy (The Original Spinsters): Why unmarried women who spun their own wool, held land knowledge, and refused to be domestic property terrified the patriarchy. Samhain, Ancestry, and Inherited Fire: Honoring the memory of the women ten generations back who paid the ultimate price for autonomy, and recognizing their resilience living in our bodies today. The New Pyre: Medical Gaslighting: How the institutional reflex to silence women evolved from physical violence into diagnostic dismissal, chronic symptom minimization, and quick-fix band-aids like surgery or the pill. Overcoming the "Quiet Woman" Conditioning: Confronting the lingering fear of being "too loud," facing down regulatory anxiety, and reclaiming your right to question, speak, and lead your own health decisions.

    Ep 9. Reclaiming the light: What our Ancestors knew about the sun (that we forgot)

    In this episode, Em walks us through a powerful shift in perspective: what if the sun isn't the primary cause of modern skin issues, but rather how we’ve been conditioned to interact with it? Moving away from fear and back toward ancestral solar hygiene, Em explores how stepping outside under the morning light offers direct, restorative benefits for our mind and body. Together, we unpack how consumer culture has convinced us that we need constant chemical protection, often locking us into an "overexposure loop" that ignores our body's natural signals. From diet and internal skin health to the intuitive wisdom of mechanical protection, this conversation brings sun exposure back down to basics. Key Takeaways from This Episode: ​ The Biology of Nourishment: How natural morning light triggers dopamine release, regulates the nervous system, lowers blood pressure, and naturally elevates our mood. ​Questioning Consumer Normalcy: A honest look at modern product culture—do we really need endless lotions and sun creams, or have we just become accustomed to being constant consumers? ​The Overexposure Loop: Why relying solely on SPF often gives a false sense of security, leading to delayed burns and midday bake sessions our skin was never designed to handle. ​ Simple, Ancestral Protection: Why mechanical protection—a wide-brimmed hat, a breathable linen shirt, and taking shade during peak noon hours—is often the simplest, most effective approach for both adults and children. ​ Diet & Heliotherapy: How nourishing our skin from the inside out changes our cellular response to solar exposure. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download our Signature 4-Step Healing Protocol⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply for 1:1 Private Healing⁠ with Emma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠In-Person Retreats⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow ARTÀ Healing Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@artahealing.co⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@fertile.podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@arta_healing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠⁠⁠@artajournal.substack⁠⁠⁠   Sending Love & Healing Emma Marigold Medical Herbalist and Ayurvedic Practitioner BSc MNIMH and the ARTÀ team

    Ep 8. Pay the Farmer Now or The Pharmacist Later: The Real Cost of Convenience

    Is convenience food actually saving you time and money, or is it quietly costing you your health? In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the hidden tax of ultra-processed convenience—from the chemical burden on our livers to the illusion of cheap supermarket meals. We break down the absolute absurdity of modern food systems, why our gardens turned from food sources into manicured lawns, and how modern time-poverty pushes us toward chronic inflammation. In this episode, we cover: The "Poison Paradox": Why we’re the only species that sprays poison on our food and eats it anyway. Making Organic Accessible: Smart, budget-friendly hacks including the Clean 15 & Dirty Dozen, veg box schemes, and micro-growing at home.  The Lasagna Test: The financial and biological reality of 5 whole ingredients vs. 30 synthetic supermarket additives.  Inflammation & Liver Load: Why hidden E-numbers and preservatives can trigger flare-ups in chronic conditions like endometriosis. Voting With Your Wallet: How buying directly from farmers cuts out the middleman and protects both your health and local growers. It’s time to stop paying for convenience with our long-term vitality.

    Ep 7. Queen Oestrogen, defending the most misunderstood hormone

    Is Oestrogen actually the "bad guy," or is she the undisputed queen of our health? In this episode, Emma dives deep into everything you actually need to know about Oestrogen, debunking the major myths surrounding this vital hormone. From feeding our bones and heart to keeping our nervous system calm and literally lubricating our joints and mucous membranes. Emma explains why a healthy ovarian cycle is our best source of vitality. She also unpacks the darker side of the coin: how excess Oestrogen aggravates conditions like Endometriosis, and the real dangers of synthetic Oestrogens found in the environment (Xenoestrogens), the contraceptive pill, and HRT. Tune in to learn how to harness the natural power of your cycle and protect yourself from synthetic overload. ◦⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download our Signature 4-Step Healing Protocol⁠⁠ ◦⁠⁠ENDO + PCOS Masterclass⁠⁠⁠ ◦⁠⁠⁠Apply for 1:1 Private Healing⁠ with Emma⁠⁠⁠ ◦⁠⁠⁠⁠In-Person Retreats⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow ARTÀ Healing Instagram: ⁠⁠@artahealing.co⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠@fertile.podcast⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠@arta_healing⁠⁠ Substack: @artajournal.substack  Sending Love & HealingEmma Marigold Medical Herbalist and Ayurvedic Practitioner BSc MNIMH and the ARTÀ team

    Ep 6. What a ‘Normal’ Period Really Looks Like — Step Into the Red Tent

    In this episode of Fertile, host Em Marigold walks you through what a ‘Normal’ period can look like, explaining the difference between a true menstrual cycle and withdrawal bleeds from hormonal contraception, and where menstrual blood actually comes from—the shedding of the endometrial lining. Em covers common signs to watch for: blood colour and consistency, flow length, pain and its causes (stagnation, clots, Oestrogen dominance), and how cycle length varies by Ayurvedic dosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). She also discusses PMS, mood changes, practical tracking tips, and gentle lifestyle and menstrual-care suggestions like period pants and reducing irritants. This episode is a concise, empowering guide to reading your body, understanding symptoms (from light or heavy bleeding to painful cramps), and believing that healing and a pain-free, predictable cycle are possible. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download our Signature 4-Step Healing Protocol⁠⁠⁠Apply for 1:1 Private Healing⁠ with Emma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠In-Person Retreats⁠⁠⁠  Follow ARTÀ Healing Instagram: ⁠@artahealing.co⁠  Instagram: ⁠@fertile.podcast⁠ YouTube: ⁠@arta_healing⁠   Sending Love & Healing Em Marigold MH BSc MNIMH and the ARTÀ team
