Granny witches, folk healing, mountain magic, whatever name you may know it by, these practices have been swirling around the Appalachian mountains for centuries. Minda and Jenna sit down with North Carolina folk healer Nikki Chester to discuss her family's legacy of mountain magic and how it interplays with current culture, how she turned her knowledge of natural healing into a business and of course, her 10 cats! Nikki was recently featured in Smithsonian's Folklife Magazine: https://folklife.si.edu/magazine/appalachian-folk-magic?fbclid=IwAR2vC2Q2YhxbG4ZtlvGAUtdKOPwUL13KY9V0kydysgpA72WME6sxgEYldNEIf you want to explore Nikki's healing products, her shop can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/NikkisNourishedByNature?mibextid=nW3QTLPictured: Nikki at 9 days old with her Great Grandmother
