Healers at Heart: Why This Journey Feels So Familiar
For so many, herbal wisdom isn’t just about plants—it’s about continuing a tradition of being the nurturer, the fixer, the community resource. That sense of responsibility, the drive to care for others, runs deep. But in a world full of information, not every herbal book respects where you’re coming from—or gets you where you want to go.
If you’ve felt lost in the noise or unsure which wisdom is worth your trust, you’re in good company. I share the books that truly honor both tradition and your next step in the video.

Choosing Books That Honor Both Heritage and Healing
The best herbal books for beginners don’t just teach recipes or offer quick fixes. They speak to those who want real, practical steps—books that feel like they belong on your kitchen table, not just a library shelf.

But how do you decide which ones will actually help you become the healer you already are? I break down my selection process, and share how to match your learning style to the right author, inside the video.
