Herbal Ally Series - Gotu kola - A Leader’s Ally for Clarity, Calm & Brain Resilience

If your leadership edge feels dulled by constant overdrive, you’re not alone. In this episode of Project Joyful, medical herbalist, Tracy Tutty, introduces you to one of her favourite herbal allies - Gotu Kola. Known for centuries as a rejuvenator for the mind, and now confirmed through modern research, Gotu Kola supports mental clarity, stress recovery, and even long-term brain health.

We’ll explore:

• How Gotu Kola calms the startle reflex so you can respond instead of react.
• Why it’s a powerful nervous system tonic for long-term resilience.
• Its role in memory, focus, and neurological repair - without overstimulation.
• How its collagen-boosting magic benefits skin healing and radiance.

Tracy also shares why Gotu Kola is the herb for leaders who are overwhelmed, overextended… just over it - and how its cooling, calming nature resets your system for sustainable clarity.

Whether you’re leading a team, a company, or a vision, herbs like Gotu Kola can be a foundational leadership strategy - quietly working in the background to keep you steady, sharp, and ready for the long game.
