Show Notes
NOTE: I've done breathwork every day since this interview and – you gaias! – it's really helping me human.
Meet today's guest Ella Maryska, who is responsible for getting me into this breathwork thing that I am the last person on the planet to know about.
Ella is 21 years old, wise as the hills, a certified breathwork instructor, and brings a fresh and youthful perspective to the pod which has been sorely absent to date (sorry sorry sorry).
In this sweet convo, you'll hear about the geeky physiology of breathwork; how it rebalances our nervous system, changes circulation to our brain, oxygenates tissues and connects us to plants, as well as Ella's own experience as a young person living through the polycrisis, navigating novel life paths as the old routes fall away.
I learned so much from Ella. Let me know if you're on the breathwork bandwagon, a brilliant tool for staying steady in the tumult.

I tell a story about a freak storm that flattened our summer crops before sharing a super inspiring convo with Chris Gilmour [https://www.chrisoutdoors.ca/], an emergency and disaster preparedness expert who believes that deep nature connection is key to surviving and thriving through uncertain times.
I tell a story about my inability to change before chatting with a guy who's obsessed with changing everything! Dr Shane Simonsen of Recombination Nation [https://recombinationnation.substack.com/] is a biochemist, research scientist and experimental farmer who is shaking up agriculture-as-usual by breeding plants that require ZERO INPUTS. No fertiliser, no pest protection, no weeding, no watering! We talk about how to run your own kinky plant breeding experiments at home, as well as:
Planting guides and sow-what-when calendars are great and all, but what happens when the seasons don't play nice? When spring arrives earlier, frost hits later, or heatwaves burn your crops to a crisp? There's no controlling the weather, but with tools like phenology, you can make better predictions and grow more food!
"In a time of fracturing seasons, when everything's going awry, there are still cycles that we can set our hearts by."
BYO wheelbarrow to load up on Solomon's wisdom, cos today we're chatting with the grandaddy of beyond-organic gardening himself, Steve Solomon! If you don't know Steve, he's a bit of cult hero in food growing circles thanks to his deep research into soil remineralisation and why it is absolutely critical for human health.
