The Purple Pawedcast

Today I welcome Tigrilla Gardenia's plant wisdom to the show.  Tigrilla is a Nature-Inspired Mentor, Certified Life Coach, and World Ambassador for Plant Advocacy.  We consider topics as conceptually diverse as humanity's integration into Earth's story, Eco-feminism as our new word for how humans used to live, and whether Tiggers are made out of rubber or springs.

What is The Purple Pawedcast?

Welcome to The Purple Pawedcast, where we unpack the complexities of gender, identity, and what it truly means to be human—without the academic jargon (okay, maybe just a little, but only the fun kind).

Curated by Amethysta Herrick. Ph.D., this pod is where science, philosophy, and lived experience collide to challenge assumptions and spark new perspectives. Whether you’re here to explore your own identity, stay informed on the latest research, or just enjoy a deep dive into the human experience, we deliver thoughtful, engaging, and refreshingly honest discussions. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just real conversations about who we are and how we navigate the world. Dive in, stay curious, and let’s rethink identity together.
