Conscious Seed, 1063 Blue Heron Dr. (2026)

16/01/2026

2016 was the beginning of everything we are today!
Mom told me to treat the cafe like I would college, and I guess the 10,000-hour thing worked.

I think it’s important to reflect on memories— they help us keep our lives in perspective, which supports our relationships with ourselves and each other, and significantly helps us turn our LESSONS into WISDOM

I started living into my passion around 2016. I was learning so much about integrative nutrition, energy medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, herbalism across cultures, and from clinicians. I was opening myself up with magical plants and reading vintage books I got my hands on (that I still have and reference today). I also started following Astrology around. Mom and I would talk about what’s going on with the planets while prepping veggies for Kenny to juice or in between steaming up a herbal latte (later becoming Kava Chai and Mind Brew) and blending the best smoothies with all the superfoods.

It’s wild to reflect on life 10 years ago and still feel it.
Doubly wild is being back where the shop was, on a 7-mile island on the Gulf Coast, where folks from all over the world would come to be surrounded by nature and shells, and warmed by the sun-kissed sand.

Having a brick-and-mortar with my mom and partner was what brought me the dream of Conscious Seed. I remember waking from a dream with the name singing in my head. It’s been a winding journey to be where we are today, and we are still growing, finding our way as we prepare to expand into a brand that can last in our changing world.

Forever and always, we hold to our ethics of origin: keeping it raw, real, and tasty! Nature has always been the medicine.

Q: what LESSONS have you turned into WISDOM from 2016?

Herbalism can look like a lot of things.
For this edition on “how to incorporate Herbalism into your life”, we’re talking about caffeine!
☕️
From a holistic herbal perspective, the question arises: when you crave a caffeine, can you substitute it with a herbal: coffee, tea, or a tincture???

It might be hard to imagine, but making this change helps you build stamina and recover from stress, whereas caffeine does the opposite.
☕️
Mornings are already tough enough— not just because our natural cortisol levels are peaking, but the stress of our to-dos start piling up while we’re sipping caffeine. We don’t need to make things more complicated, yet we often do unintentionally.

⬇️ There’s a ripple effect, so keep reading ⬇️ 
I’m not saying STOP DRINKING COFFEE, I am saying don’t keep causing your nervous system stress from caffeine first thing in the morning.
I’m also saying don’t support the habit of drinking caffeine multiple times a day, especially when you’re already stressed.

The solution (we provide cuz you’re ultimately doing the work) is to stir a spoonful of Mind Brew into your coffee.
I formulated this delicious dissolvable support system of a remedy for the following reasons: I had a long-term addiction to caffeine, to coffee, to crashing and repeating the cycle that went on for years, when my body was burning out.
There’s a whole science to how the ingredients inside of Mind Brew work, but because of legal reasons, I really can’t tell you a whole lot without it sounding like I’m making a “medical claim”.

— If you want to know more ways “how to incorporate Herbalism into your life,” lmk in the comments what you want to learn next, or tell us how Mind Brew has helped change your morning routine and relationship to caffeine and stress.

We know the world is really unstable right now —it has been for almost a whole year— but to be fair, it’s not the world’s fault; it’s the result of greed.

It feels particularly strange to be a small business these days, preparing for the events leading up to the holidays. There’s a lot of contemplation happening behind the scenes.

But here we are, a small business owned by only two (Chelsee + Kenny), a pair who have been running a business in the “wellness” world for over a decade. We find that we can accomplish difficult things with more peace of mind when we stay close to our community.

Which is why we’re offering a sweet discount on all our elixirs.
—
From now through Monday 10/6, all Elixirs are 15% off with code ELIXIR.

When you shop at indie businesses that ethically do good, a whopping 68% of that money stays in the local economy. Supporting small businesses that make your heart sing means the world to us. To feel that you support us over the big corporations that spend their money on feeding a dying system. For us, your dollars go directly into the hands of farmers, healers, and other amazing businesses and makers.
🌹
If you need to restock your favorite elixir or want to try a new one, this is a sweet lil moment to gift yourself some care. Remember to use code ELIXIR at checkout for 15% off.

With care, Chelsee & Kenny

We’re still glowing from a late-summer pilgrimage to the United Plant Savers Medicinal Plant Sanctuary. 
Goldenrod standing tall, bright blue skies, old friends, and new, walking the trails with us. We joined herbalists and for a tour of the sanctuary and a spontaneous side-quest hike.

Moments like these remind us of how vibrant the herbal community truly is. People from around the world gather to learn, share, and care for the plants we love. We’re united by reciprocity—our devotion to the ecosystems that sustain us and our commitment to passing that knowledge forward.

That’s why we support they work to protect wild medicinal plants, cultivate them sustainably, and replant native species so future generations can experience their medicine. If you’re looking for a group to support, we can’t recommend them enough.

And amid all this good medicine, we have a little news of our own 🌿 Our Kava Chai just won the 2025 Grand Prize in the Herbal Product Contest! 🌿

We created this blend to bring Kava’s grounding, heart-opening qualities into an everyday ritual. To have it recognized by the wider herbal community feels like an affirmation of the plants and the practices we hold dear.
Thank you for being part of this circle with us—whether you’re sipping our elixirs, tending your own herbs, or simply curious about plant allies. Together, we’re cultivating a future where herbalism thrives.

With gratitude (and warm cups), Chelsee & Kenny

Our weekend at the International Herbal Symposium nurtured our spirit of hope. 
The event itself is a hub for Earth folk; a space for gathering, growing, and learning for plant lovers, herbal businesses, practitioners, researchers, wildcrafters, and growers from all walks of life and regions. I got to nerd out and attend over a dozen classes from incredible plant enthusiasts and went on a field trip to the actual sanctuary, which was a dream come true for someone like me.

I was amazed to meet and learn from elders, lineage holders, medicine makers, farmers, and alchemists from all around the world, many whose teachings have influenced me for years already via their books and interviews. Being in the presence of so many inspiring humans was one of the most energizing experiences I’ve had in a long time (especially considering the difficulties of the past year, which you might understand).

I even had a taste of the unexpected: I wasn’t planning to enter any of our products in the annual product contest hosted by the event organizers, but .is.magic strongly encouraged me to submit our Kava Chai and Lions Heart. Out of 90 incredible products, our Kava Chai won first place for “most original herbal product”. I was overwhelmed with emotion, tears streaming as I stood there receiving the biggest applause of my life, surrounded by people I admire and who have inspired us to pursue our dreams of making remedies. As Kenny said, “it’s been years in the making,” and I couldn’t agree more. Some plants just can’t be stopped, and neither can we.

As the tea tag said at the end of the conference, “Friendship is a sheltering tree.”

Tagging some of the wonderful folks we met and learned from during the weekend:

Some remedies make me feel like sunlight breaking through the clouds with a hug on the other side of a rainbow.

Meet Mimosa, known as the “Tree of Happiness” — with its feathery fern-like leaves and crown of bright fuzzy pink blossoms that smell like heaven.

Traditionally, this herb is used for stress, restlessness, and emotional heaviness. Mimosa helps restore balance where it’s needed most.

This flowering tree is as much about prevention as it is relief — it’s a gentle enough ally that helps keep low moods at bay on a daily basis, strengthens inner resilience, eases tension, and reminds us of joy and the simple pleasures of being alive every day.
Think of it as nature’s encouraging balance before an emotional storm rolls in.

Mimosa is both grounding and uplifting, calming the heart while brightening the spirit. If you want to learn more about this herb, stay tuned for a new blog post that goes deeper.

In the meantime, we have MOODY BLOOM ELIXIR, a blend featuring this joyful flower for a spirit-lifting remedy formulated to nurture optimism and support emotional well-being.
✨ Find it in our Mood Elevation collection on our webshop.
