She spoke with me while I am currently self-isolating and wanting to record new interviews. I’ve known Robyn for many years. As a past guest of the show, we started the conversation before I had a chance to start recording. This episode then begins with us talking about how we’re handling and thinking about the state of the world during the spreading COVID-19 pandemic. We then turn to building resilience and community and her work as a long-time permaculture practitioner working on lifestyle design. She shares how early motherhood has changed her perspective on future care and what we need to do to move away from a place of fear, as we trust ourselves and one another. We wrap up with a message of our role as permaculture practitioners to create more resilience in our local communities. You can find Robyn at Edenspore.com, and on her Facebook page, Instagram, Bandcamp, and new blog site. Also, check out her Etsy page where you can find Robyn’s herbal remedies and more. Today, I’m going to forgo the usual lessons learned recap for the episode and say this: I don’t know what the future holds, I don’t know how hard it will be, but we’re going to make it through this. Whatever you are going through, leave a comment in the show notes to share with the podcast community so we can help you. You can also let me know what you are experiencing, and I’ll do what I can.
