An apothecary kitchen feels way cooler than an over-organized Pinterest kitchen. Let's normalize lived-in spaces, and maybe add a little magic into our lives along the way.

Yes, exactly. Give me a slightly messy shelf with a half-used jar of lemon balm and a mug that’s seen some things over a color-coded display any day. Function over perfection, always. It’s in the repetition, the reach-for-this-not-that, the little choices we make.

Living in a kitchen. Working in a kitchen. Loving the kitchen! That’s us! Thank you for a great post!

Yes! A kitchen that’s lived in, worked in, and loved. Not just a backdrop. To recipes made in between it all!

Oh, thanks for the invitation. I found my mountain tea with rose [from a trip to Greece - although not hand picked by me] and put the kettle on!

🌀 Navigating the Cosmic Dance 🌀

A new episode just dropped. And it's close to the current.

We live in a culture that trains us to fight, fix, control.

But what if the answer is not to tighten, but to turn?

In this episode, I explore practical ways to meet stress not as the enemy, but as a dance partner.

Breathe. Soften. Let go.

Here’s a taste:

✨ Presence over panic

🌊 Waves instead of walls

🕊️ Surrender, not giving up, but letting go

🌌 Remember: You are part of something vast

🌀 Growth doesn’t just spiral upward, it spirals inward, too

If stress has been sitting in your chest or coiling in your thoughts, this is for you.

🎧 Listen here: Navigating the Cosmic Dance https://open.substack.com/pub/ericpollok/p/navigating-the-cosmic-dance?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=4w70w2

And if the episode stirs something in you, I’d love to hear what it brings up.
