The Fire These Times 209/ Burnout, Grief and The Solidarity Apothecary w/ Nicole Rose
For episode 209, Elia sits down with Nicole Rose from The Solidarity Apothecary to talk about her Overcoming Burnout series, which is also a podcast and an e-book. We talked about burnout, grief, trauma, mutual aid, herbalism, and more.
Note: this was recorded in November 2025, a few days before the death of my dog Flip. This is why it took until now to publish the episode.
