5: How herbal medicine can help calm anxiety + improve sleep with Kate Collins from Foggy River Farm

My guest on this episode is Kate Collins, co-owner of Foggy River Farm in Uxbridge, ON. Kate lived a past life in the corporate world of marketing and traded that in for 23 acres of farmland to grow medicinal herbs. The theme of this conversation was choice. You can choose sleep! Kate shares how it’s not just the herbs, but all the other things you’re doing from the time you wake up in the morning to the time you go to bed that can either help or hinder your ability to sleep. We talk about sleep in motherhood and how setting boundaries and letting go of other people’s judgements are crucial for accessing better sleep.

Kate shares the key things you want to know when it comes to choosing and using herbs and I share my fave blends from Foggy River.

Kate is dedicated to sharing how local plants can be an empowering addition to any home, as a tool for physical and mental wellbeing.  When not working, she can be found making play-doh cats with her beautiful 2-year-old daughter.
