The Marie Embodied Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with my partner, Travis Cartwright, for a heartfelt conversation about the profound experience of foraging wild foods and medicines while building meaningful relationships with the living world. We explore the ethics of wildcrafting, the issues with industrial food systems, how to harvest with reciprocity and respect, and the importance of slowing down enough to truly know the ecosystems we’re part of.

We also talk about some of our favourite plants to gather and work with, while telling stories from our wildcrafting adventures, and sharing tips for anyone curious about starting their own journey to connect with wild plants. 

If you are a nature lover that wants to form more meaningful relationships with the plants and land around you, this conversation is for you!

What is The Marie Embodied Podcast?

The Marie Embodied Podcast is a space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the wisdom of the body. Hosted by, somatic therapist and clinical herbalist, Marie Zak, this show explores embodiment through somatic practices, herbal medicine, nervous system awareness, and other healing modalities that support coming home to yourself.

Marie explores embodiment not as a concept, but as a lived experience. Through conversations, teachings, and practical insights, you will learn how to listen to your body, build capacity, and cultivate presence, resilience, and aliveness.

This podcast is for those who want to feel more grounded, resourced, and at home in themselves, and for anyone curious about somatic work, herbalism, animism, and the many modalities that support embodied healing.
