Reskillience

The episode that nearly didn’t happen for reasons almost too embarrassing to share... but what else is the intro for? 🤷‍♀️

Today we’re hanging out with CAROLINE PARKER ~ The Cottage Herbalist ~ bigtime girl crush and quite possibly the love child of a 1950s rock star and wiccan goddess.

Caroline is an author, speaker, grower, educator, forager, herbalist and award-winning teasmith who is just TOO COOL.

We bask in her garden eating elderflower cookies talking about treat-os, herbal speed dating, what to cook when you CBF cooking, the cuppa that Caroline would serve to power hungry pollies and why she’s not a prepper.

It's the little things with Kat Lavers

After countless requests I present to you: Kat Lavers 🐈‍⬛

Wicking buckets, magic bug buttons, interspecies adventures, listener questions and more!

Kat and I recorded this convo at her kitchen table, surrounded by ferments and preserves and garlands of dried chilli.

At just 1/14th of an acre, Kat's urban homestead The Plummery has been known to pump out 428kg of fresh produce in any given year, meeting almost all the fruit/veggie requirements for two people. I M P R E S S I V E S T U F F.

Kat is a beloved permaculture educator, passionate gardener, and sustainable food system furtherer whose compassion for all living things could fill five football stadiums, whilst also being the poster child for small wonders.

You may have seen Kat featured on Gardening Australia, Happen Films, myriad permie/green media channels, and in this one-and-a-bit hour yarn we plumb the depths of her mind, heart and utterly delightful psyche through her list of 10 things.

Jord & Catie interview each other in the back of a van

It's the season three finale with me and my man Jordan Osmond!

We’re cranking the content couple cringe in this convo which covers our individual intentions for 2025, and chatting them through like a pair of old codgers.

Jordan is one half of Happen Films, sharing stories for a more beautiful world, and precisely one year ago we recorded a Reskillience interview which was later to become our first date.

Back with new eps in three weeks or less 💥
