She’s got a refreshing common sense approach, sharing the best herbs, and how to gather, store, and use them — safely! Get to know Agatha — and herbs — in today’s podcast.
And a special treat for you! Agatha gives you step-by-step instructions for making your own herb-infused salves.

Tip of the Week: Start a Morning Routine
Near the beginning of today’s episode, I shared the new morning routine that I’m following and loving… to start my day in the right frame of mind. Please share your morning routine in the comments — I’d love to hear what you do each morning to get in sync with the day ahead and your purpose.
Here’s the journaling template I mentioned: Journaling Template from Michael Hyatt.
Listener Question
Nadia. asks:
“Hi, Wardee, I’ve now baked with my sourdough started quite a few things (your chocolate cake J, biscuits, bread of all kinds). It all comes out crusty’ish… I really need a recipe or a technique for a soft bread and soft buns (sort of like store-bought hamburger buns or soft sandwich bread). Is it possible to create a soft roll/bun/bread out of sourdough?
Sorry, to clarify… By soft, I mean soft on the outside, not crusty. It seems the long rising time is hardening the outside (no matter now well I cover it with a towel for the 2nd rise). Everything just seems to come out hard on the outside. I try putting them in the plastic bag after the stuff cools and it softens the crust, but it’s still really thick and just too chewy…“

I do miss this link (Podcast: Play in new window)
omitted from your newest podcast? i used this link to download your podcast, then played back on an MP3 player. 🙁
Ken – I’m sorry I neglected to put that option in there for you. It’s added to the player now. Thanks!
I’m so looking forward to listening to this one. My Stitcher app hasn’t updated any of the last five episodes (since I first downloaded Stitcher to my Android phone). Do you know if anyone else is having Stitcher issues with your podcast?
Patty, actually I just got an email from Stitcher saying that they’re having an issue with many podcasts not updating. I wrote back and asked them specifically about mine. I’ll let you know what I find out. Thanks for your patience. 🙂
Listening to it now via Stitcher! And I see that they’ve updated the rest! Yay! Thanks for the follow-up. I haven’t gotten past the tip of the week but I think it’s one I’ll definitely try to implement! Blessings!
