Eight showings, no offers, and one interested person. I'm still waiting, and this week I'm feeling how deeply depleting that can be.

In this third episode of How to Wait, I share an honest update on selling our home and how the uncertainty has been showing up in my body. After another autumn bout of bronchitis, I'm asking what it means to rebuild my reserves while life is still unresolved.
In this episode, I explore:
● When waiting wears us down: Getting sick, needing prednisone and antibiotics, and the vulnerability of being an herbalist who also needs care.
● Recognizing depletion: What I noticed when I looked at my tongue and why it prompted me to slow down and replenish.
● Four tonic herbs: American ginseng, eleuthero, Panax ginseng, and rhodiola, and how I think about their different energetics.
● Everyday herbal support: Lemon balm in the morning, peppermint in the afternoon, chamomile at night, and the supports I'm using for sleep and neck tension.
● Messages from the flowers: Drawing the Flower and Aster cards from the Flower Speaks deck and reflecting on creative downtime and the difficult choices waiting asks of us.
If you're in a season of waiting too, how is it showing up in your body? What's helping you feel nourished and supported? I'd love to hear in the comments.
This episode follows Dividing What's Left and The Wild Is Watching in the How to Wait series.
