Hello, this is Kenya on my daughters phone. Still learning the technology here, as I don’t have Apple. I read your review, and i agree it was an off day I re-recorded the episode to make it more clear and accurate . Thank you for the feedback.

I really want to love this podcast, but my first listen was to the bearberry episode with so much blatant misinformation. I now don’t trust anything said by the host. 1. Bearberry is not a favorite of bears. They eat it in a starvation situation. 2. It is NATIVE to Michigan (not naturalized by people planting it) and has been used by indigenous people basically forever. It grows all over the shorelines of northern Michigan. The host is pleasant and I wish there were less untruths in the podcast because I think I would really like it. Sad.

I just found this podcast, so I have not been following since the beginning. Ms. Kenya has a beautifully soothing voice. You can hear her kindness and love for a simplistic life come through in her podcast. I will become a long time listener. Thank you, for all your encouragement and words of wisdom.

So cozy! Easy & cute listening while still being informational. Love it 🌸☁️🫖🌼💕✨🪴

Since I'm a busy mom/teacher/writer, I did the thing I do and tried to learn more by way of my ears. I popped my AirPods in and went podcast hunting. This is how I came across "My Magical Cottagecore Life." And that's what I did this week. I listened to EVERY episode—and some of them twice. In her podcast, Kenya Coviak talks about useful plants, oft-underrated-or-forgotten foods, working creativity and beauty into her day, and making the most of what you have. I found myself leaning in and nodding with her gentle reminders to be considerate of our environment, be sensitive to cultural appropriation, and be good to yourself and your family; and she does this from her Detroit lens, acknowledging the realities of city life and the diversity and scarcity and loyalties inherent in it. She has depths of wisdom, and she quietly imparts it like a friend chatting with you over tea or while assembling a craft at the backyard picnic table. Like a real life friend, she throws the sorry-not-sorry kinds of apologies for cheesy puns and "mom jokes," which listeners can treat like a drinking game if they have no respect for their livers. She talks about her listeners like she knows us personally, loveably adding, "We're friends, right?" to each episode, which is why I think she's my best friend or sister-from-another-mister despite the fact that she's never met me. Anyway...I loved it. Ten out of ten, would recommend.
