Seeds is a podcast about recovery, mental health, and how we navigate it all while the world keeps getting louder and harder to survive in. Hosted by Miriam Boosh and Sam Reynolds, we talk about the messiness of healing, identity, race, queerness, politics, and the everyday work of staying alive and staying human. It’s vulnerable, angry, sometimes funny, and always real. Burn it down, build something better.
