Small prescriptions for the soul.
A beautiful poem can change how you feel. A powerful idea can change how you think. But real change usually begins with something smaller — a pause, a question, one courageous act.
The Golden Apothecary brings you one of those each morning: a little poetry, practice and philosophy, with a touch of gold for the day ahead — in Alexandra’s voice.
