## Resource

Today on The Herbalist Hour, I'm joined by Yasmeen Faraj, LCSW, CIMHP, therapist, herbalist, and founder of Kinda Crunchy Therapy and sMOOches Organics. In this conversation, we explore the intersection of mental health and herbalism, including nature connection, community, burnout, intuition, sleep, nutrition, and the healing power of plants. Yasmeen shares how she incorporates herbs into her therapy practice through plant walks, herbal tea, and sensory experiences, and we discuss what therapists and herbalists can learn from one another. We also talk about Motherwort, Mugwort, ecstatic dance, inner child work, and what it means to follow a "full body yes." I absolutely loved this conversation and know you will as well! A big thanks to Yasmeen for joinin' me and thanks to you for tuning in. ~Mason Learn More About Yasmeen Kinda Crunchy Therapy | KindaCrunchyTherapy.com 🌿 Smoochies Organics | sMOOchesOrganics.com KCT on IG | @kindacrunchytherapy sMOOches on IG | @smoochesorganics Resources Mentioned 📖 The Gift of Healing Herbs by Robin Rose Bennett | BUY THE BOOK 📖 The Ultramind Solution by Mark Hyman | BUY THE BOOK If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share it with a fellow plant person. 🌿 Grab FREE Herbal Resources Sign up for the HerbRally newsletter and get instant access to a 91-page Botanical Anthology sampler—plus a bundle of herbal freebies. 👉 Get the freebies | HerbalFreebies.com Want to join us live for future interviews?
