Ash Sierra dropped out of college her sophomore year to explore herbalism. She began making salves and tinctures for friends and family. It was never meant to be a business. Today Ash runs Ritual Botanica, a private consulting practice and a thriving business selling tinctures, salves, dried herbs, oils, teas with over than 55,000 followers on Instagram and customers all over the world. Some things we talk about:  trying to be adult, losing herself, and getting found starting a business doing what she loved most – as impractical as it was how to tune into your guidance and depression, autonomy, and choosing your own life

Finito! Be careful, you may eat the whole thing! If you put it in the fridge it will get much more solid....Be creative, add 2 tablespoons of cashew or mac nut butter for extra richness, make a creamcheese topping..I love to add some ground flax (not presoaked to avoid toxins!) it gives the mouse a built in crust tasteenjoy! Dutch oven fail safe beef roast recipe by Whitney Ross Ingredients: Beef roast Broth (I use my home made beef broth, but I have used mushroom or vegetable) 2 Bay leaves 3 -5 cloves Garlic 1 Onion Seasoning (I like Penzy's beef roast seasoning, 8th Wonder, Herbamare or just garlic powder, salt and pepper) Rendered lard, coconut oil, avacado oil, bacon fat Instructions Pre heat oven to 350 Heat oil in the dutch oven on medium high. (I have this dutch oven Costco Dutch oven but I wish I had this one Dream one )I use about 1/3 to 1/4 inch of oil. Season the beef which has been brought to room temperature by taking it out of the fridge for 15 minutes to an hour. (not totally important) brown the meat 4 minutes per side Turn the heat off, add the onion, bay leaves, garlic and broth. The broth should just cover the meat, there can be some meat sticking out of the top of the broth, but not a lot. Cover the pot and put it in the oven for 3 hours. Primal meatballs by Whitney RossIngredients for 25-30 meatballs 3 lbs of grass fed ground beef3 eggs (farm fresh egg yolks for AIP)3 C pulverized, cooked cauliflower (7 minutes in the microwave to cook it, no water stir halfway through)1/2C parsley3-6 cloves garlic chopped or pressed1TBS saltpepper to taste1C raisins (omit for strict AIP, include if you are eating some sugar or some fruit)1C grated parmesan (omit for AIP or find grass-fed, top quality cheese)1/2 inch of oil in the pan to fry, bacon fat or olive oil or coconut oil Mix all the ingredients together except the oil and then make 1 meat ball and fry it in hot oil with the temperature on medium - medium low in the pan. Brown it on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. Try that meatball and see if you need to add anything to the mixture like more salt. We cook these in a really large stainless saute pan and cook them in batches of 6. Don't crowd the pan or they will not brown properly. Don't mix the meat and ingredients too much or it won't stay together in a ball.
