Hi I'm Cassie Burton and I haved lived with anxiety my whole life. The slow burn, constant hyper-vigilant kind of anxiety, always on high alert, high energy, moving a hundred miles an hour to stay in front of whatever my mind thought was chasing me. Turns out nothing is chasing me and my anxiety stems from childhood trauma.

Did you know, anxiety, over time, can create some pretty serious health issues?
And that's why I'm on a mission is to explore and share ways to manage, soothe and understand trauma and the anxiety it creates.

Author Michelle Dowd - Forager: Field Notes for Surviving a Family Cult

June 03, 2023 • Cassie Burton / Michelle Dowd • Season 3 • Episode 3

Michelle was raised on a mountain in the Angeles National Forest where she learned to identify flora and fauna, navigate by the stars, forage for edible plants, and care for the earth. As an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher, she has been teaching students and training teachers in southern California studios since 2008. Michelle’s memoir, Forager: Field Notes for Surviving a Family Cult, showcases her life growing up on an isolated mountain in California as part of an apocalyptic cult, and how she found her way out of poverty and illness by drawing on the gifts of the wilderness.
