After an injury left me at just 15% functionality, the road back wasn’t quick — or quiet. In this episode, we talk about the slow art of healing: the ancient wisdom of Humorism, the lessons of blood and movement, and how two unruly dogs (and a very cautious husband) helped me rediscover strength, patience, and joy.

You’ll learn how ancient healers saw motion, warmth, and balance as medicine — and how those same principles can still guide us through modern recovery.

Whether you’re rebuilding your health, your spirit, or your faith in your body, this conversation invites you to start where you are, move gently, and celebrate the small victories that lead to wholeness.

In this episode of Ash & Honey, Alexandria explores the quiet yet powerful impact of phlegm — the cold, stagnating humor of ancient medicine — on body, mind, and spirit. After moving, experiencing loss, and recovering from a serious accident, she found herself physically and emotionally paused. Drawing from Humorism, modern science, and personal experience, Alexandria shares how movement, mindful practices, acupuncture, fasting, and nutrition helped her awaken vitality, restore circulation, and reignite energy.

Join her as she reflects on small, intentional actions — a walk to the mailbox, a stretch while the kettle warms, a song that lifts your spirit — and how these moments become medicine for both body and soul.

Find one gentle way to move today — a breath, a stretch, a song — and reconnect with your body’s own wisdom.

In this deeply personal and historical episode, Alexandria explores the ancient concept of yellow bile — the humor of drive, ambition, and fiery energy — and how it manifests in our modern lives.

She shares her own journey: leaving a career that didn’t fit her free-spirited nature, relocating to Texas to support her daughter and grandson Marcus, surviving a serious car accident, and facing the devastating loss of Marcus. Through these experiences, Alexandria realized how unbridled ambition — what the ancients would call excess yellow bile — can burn us out physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Drawing from Hippocrates, Galen, and historical practices, she explains how ancient physicians recommended cooling and balancing this powerful energy through rest, gentleness, and intentional movement — lessons that resonate with modern wellness practices like mindful exercise, fasting, and holistic health routines.

By the end of the episode, you’ll discover how to identify when your fire is consuming you, redirect your energy, and cultivate a sustainable drive that fuels purpose without burnout.

Welcome to Ash & Honey — a podcast where curiosity meets compassion, and where the old ways meet the inner ones.

In this debut episode, “The Quiet Rebuild,” host Alexandria Quinn Love opens up about her personal healing journey after a devastating car accident and years of burnout. With warmth and humor, she reflects on what it means to rebuild a life — slowly, softly, and humanly.

Drawing on her background as a historian, teacher, and former disability analyst, Alexandria explores how ancient wisdom — especially the forgotten theory of Humorism — still shapes how we think about wellness today. From Shakespeare’s temperaments to modern mindfulness, she connects the dots between history, healing, and our search for balance.

This isn’t a polished studio production — it’s a space for real conversation, quiet reflection, and curiosity. So if you hear a dog bark or a coffee mug clink, take it as part of the charm. Because this show isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence.

🎧 In this episode:

• Rebuilding life after burnout and injury
• The origins and meaning of the Four Humors
• How Humorism shaped art, medicine, and personality
• Why balance is a living, moving process — not a fixed state
