    Feb 2 2026
    What if healing didn’t require complexity, overwhelm, or disconnection from yourself, but instead invited you back into relationship with the natural world and your own inner knowing?In this episode of Internally Guided Life, I sit down with Jane Barlow Christensen, master herbalist, educator, and author of Be Your Own Shaman, for a deeply grounded and soul-nourishing conversation about herbal medicine, intuition, and what it means to live well in transformative times.Jane shares her powerful personal journey growing up in rural Idaho as the daughter of a medicinal botanist, how plant wisdom shaped her understanding of health and responsibility, and why she felt called to return to her father’s herbal legacy later in life. We explore the intersection of education and intuition, the role of simple, consistent lifestyle practices in healing, and how reconnecting with nature can support both personal well-being and collective awakening.Together, we reflect on the current state of the world and the tension many of us feel between chaos and hope. Jane offers a steady, compassionate perspective, reminding us that love, presence, and small intentional actions still matter deeply. From herbal teas and barefoot grounding to trusting your body’s wisdom, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with what has always been available to us.This episode is especially for anyone feeling overwhelmed by modern health narratives, curious about herbal remedies, or longing to live in deeper alignment with nature, intuition, and purposeful care.Meet the Guest: Jane Barlow ChristensenJane Barlow Christensen is a master herbalist, educator, and author with a lifelong connection to plant medicine and natural healing.
