Have you, or a woman close to you, ever experienced a great tragedy? How does grief impact the hormonal cycle and how do hormones affect grief? In this episode Lissie chats with flower grower and merchant, Hannah Robertson. A woman who has lived a life of incredible adventure, stepped with ease into bold situations of survivalism, embraced her body's capacity to bring 6 babies into this world, grows and sells the most glorious flowers and has endured the deepest grief that exists in the human experience. This is an episode we've been waiting to bring you for many months. It's the undiscussed relationship between a woman's cycle and her experience in her grief, it's the heightening intensity of every ebb and flow, and being forced to wield the knowledge of hormones so as not to sink to utterly overwhelming depths. It's the power of a woman to also harness her body's intelligence to keep her feet - and in this case her hands - firmly planted in the earth. This is a story of love, of poetry, of beauty growing from the mess and the muck; a reminder of the importance for all of us at it's most extreme end, that relationship with our own body can be the difference on any day between coping and madness. This is a story of crocodiles and flowers, of love and of living. It is a season's end, not to be missed.
