This week on The Bestie Perspective, we’re stirring up something rich, grounding, and oh-so heart-opening. We’re diving deep into cacao—but not just the chocolate bar kind. We’re talking ceremonial cacao, the sacred plant medicine that’s been used for centuries in rituals and ceremonies to open the heart, calm the mind, and connect us to spirit.

But here’s the best part—it’s not just spiritual woo woo. Science backs it up. We’ll unpack the compounds in cacao (like theobromine, magnesium, and mood-boosting neurotransmitter activators) and explore how they create very real health benefits—from better focus and energy to improved mood and heart health.

Alongside the science, we’re sharing our own experiences of sitting with cacao intentionally—how it’s helped us drop into presence, tap into creativity, and even move through emotional healing. We each sipped a warm cup as we recorded this episode, setting the intention that cacao itself could flow into the conversation with us.

So whether you’re curious about the ancient roots of this sacred drink, the modern research on its healing powers, or just looking for a soulful excuse to bring more chocolate into your life, this episode is for you.

Grab your mug, cozy up, and join us in discovering why cacao is so much more than just chocolate. 🤎
