What if one of the most valuable teachings in herbalism isn’t about what to do—but what to stop doing?

In this powerful solo episode, Jesse Wolf Hardin shares 20 hard-hitting truths about how herbalists can unknowingly sabotage their own practice. From overlooking the emotional roots of illness to over-relying on trendy herbs... from neglecting self-care to doubting your own worth—this is a grounded, unfiltered look at the real work of being a healer.

Whether you're brand new or decades deep on the plant path, this episode will challenge and inspire you to course-correct, recommit, and rediscover the joy at the heart of herbalism.

What happens when late-night radio meets folk herbalism?
In this episode, I join Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba on Civic Media for a wide-ranging convo about the roots of HerbRally, my personal path, the power of plants, and plenty more.

We recorded this back in February 2025 in Green Bay, WI—and it was a blast. Pete’s hilarious, thoughtful, and asked some really great questions. Big thanks to him and producer Konrad for the warm welcome and great vibes.

🎧 If you're curious about herbalism, purpose, or just enjoy hearing how people stumble into their calling... I think you'll dig this one.
