Over dinner in Cape Town, Jeri shares how her early travels sparked a lifelong love for adventure, how homeopathy became her calling, and how she built deep connections in the rural communities of Botswana, Eswatini, and Ghana. We talk about the lessons she learned in Africa \u2013 about generosity, humility, and the power of community. And we reflect on how, no matter where we come from, we\u2019re all guests on this planet \u2013 and we\u2019re better together. Key Takeaways  How Jeri\u2019s early travels shaped her fearless curiosity about the world Why homeopathy \u2013 an alternative healing system based on \u201clike treats like\u201d \u2013 became a cornerstone of her work in Africa The unforgettable story of Olo and the word \u2018LOVE\u2019 written on a friend\u2019s belly How local healers and communities in Africa taught her the real meaning of generosity and resilience Why Jeri believes we\u2019re better with all ages, cultures, and ways of living \u2013 and how that mindset can change everything  Relevant Links  Jeri\u2019s book \u201cA Bluebird in a Baobab\u201d on Amazon:  https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DQ61PMRG?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_3RK2Z318GBCCASDYFJH7 National Center for Homeopathy:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.homeopathycenter.org\/ Blog post with more details and photos:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/theradiovagabond.com\/365-jeri-russell Danish version of the blog post:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/radiovagabond.dk\/416-jeri-russell The Open Nesters Podcast:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/theopennesters.com Check out the brand new Nomad Summit Podcast on https:\/\/nomadsummit.com\/podcast You can follow The Radio Vagabond on: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheRadioVagabond&amp;nbsp;  https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/theradiovagabond&amp;nbsp;  https:\/\/twitter.com\/radiovagabond  https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@radiovagabond  ","author_name":"The Radio Vagabond","author_url":"http:\/\/www.theradiovagabond.com\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/36889015\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/189635670"}
