LEARN MORE & REGISTER | GoodMedicineConfluence.com In this episode of The Herbalist Hour, I'm joined once again by author, activist, artist, and Plant Healer cofounder Jesse Wolf Hardin. Wolf and I explore what it means to care for ourselves while continuing to serve our communities and the wider world.  We talk about burnout, pleasure, distraction, our complicated relationships with screens, and the importance of being fully present for our finite time on this planet.  Wolf also shares why resilience isn't always enough, how seemingly small acts can affect the whole living world, and why our work should remain rooted while still being allowed to branch in new directions. We also discuss the free Herbaria Monthly zine, Wolf's experiences with influential herbalist Michael Moore, and the upcoming Good Medicine Confluence at Ghost Ranch.  Wolf's son Wolfson even joins us for a few especially sweet moments near the end. Thanks for tunin' in!  ~Mason PS - WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE LINKS & RESOURCES GOOD MEDICINE CONFLUENCE: October 12–15, 2026 | Ghost Ranch, New Mexico LEARN MORE & REGISTER Use coupon code HERBRALLY26 to save 25% ENTER TO WIN A FREE TICKET | FILL OUT THE GOOGLE FORM HERBARIA MONTHLY | SIGN UP FOR FREE PLANT HEALER BOOKSTORE | PlantHealerBookstore.com BOOK: Women Who Run with Wolves | BUY THE BOOK If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, and share it with a fellow plant person. 🌿Grab FREE Herbal Resources Sign up for the HerbRally newsletter and get instant access to a 91-page Botanical Anthology sampler—plus a bundle of herbal freebies. 👉 Get the freebies | HerbalFreebies.com Want to join us live for future interviews?  Become a HerbRally Schoolhouse member: HerbRally Schoolhouse | HerbRally.com/Schoolhouse Use coupon code PODCAST for your first 30 days free! ⚠️ DISCLAIMER This content is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
