Herbalist, yogi, doula, and owner/operator of Wild Taproot, LIBBY JENNISON joins Rachel in this episode of The Y Factor.

She's most creative when shes' feeling grateful and recognizes that failures and set backs are part of the creative process. And she finds inspiration in curating the mundane (i.e. selecting her outfit in the morning).
