In this episode we speak with herbalist Yolanda Joy about growing up in Australia, moving to Italy, and falling in love with plants like Elderberry and Yarrow after only having met them before in fantasy books. We talk about how she studied pharmacy, transitioned to herbalism, and the change in worldview that entailed. We also talk about how she started the wildly successful Herbal Entrepreneur Conference after wanting to start an herbal business, but not finding any resources for it, she decided to make it happen- not just for herself but for all of us to benefit from too!

The Herbal Entrepreneur Conference is a different event than what we talked about in the intro last week, which is The Plant Spirit Herbalism Summit hosted by Sara Artemsia which is taking place online March 18-20th, 2022. So you can do both! They are both free to attend. It's a busy week in the herb world and I love it. Conferences, Summits, Course Launches galore because it's the Spring Equinox weekend and we are starting to send up our little green shoots to share our medicine with the world. Here is the affiliate link for Plant Spirit Herbalism Summit again to make it easy for you to learn more. https://www.plantspiritherbalismsummit.com/?ac=8OguDRxr
