Welcome to The Wild Rose Podcast—a space for herbal learning, community stories, and conversations that deepen our connection to each other and the plants.
In this episode, we’re joined by Carley McConkey—a holistic nutritionist, clinical herbalist, and passionate educator whose work centers on body literacy, accessible wellness, and women’s health.
Carley’s path into herbalism began with her own healing journey through hormonal imbalances, anxiety, and a deep disconnection from her body. From that place, she discovered the magic of food as medicine, the intelligence of the menstrual cycle, and the spirit-healing power of herbs.
Together, we explore:
Her evolution from holistic nutrition to clinical herbalism
The power of truly listening to your body (and the unlearning that requires)
How modern healthcare fails to meet women’s needs—and how herbalism offers a different way
Accessible wellness through kitchen medicine, broths, and energetics
Flower essences, drop dosing, and those intuitive plant moments
Reframing “peak health” and embracing joy, nourishment, and community as part of healing
Whether you’re new to plant medicine or a seasoned practitioner, this episode invites you to reconnect with your body, your intuition, and the plants that support both.
🫖 Pour yourself a cup of tea—and let’s dive in.
