Join host Samwise Raridon and Clinical Herbalist, Teacher, Artist and Urban Gardener Bonnie Rose Weaver for an in depth discussion of the herb vitex, the utility of tracking out hormonal cycles and the lasting cultural impact of the film Mean Girls. In this episode, Bonnie Rose generously shares an exercise for understanding how hormonal cycles for folks who bleed can work, so if you feel inspired to learn along, we invite you to grab a piece of paper and a drawing tool. Big big thank you to Bonnie Rose for being such a dear friend, teacher and comrade all these years. 

We mention a book in the episode that is useful to learn from called "Taking Charge of your Fertility" by Toni Weschler
