Welcome back to The Plant Healer's Path — Episode 24.

In this lyrical and deeply reflective episode, Jesse Wolf Hardin offers a meditation on beauty — not as surface aesthetics, but as a lived, relational experience at the heart of healing work.

Wolf explores how beauty arises through attention, praise, and personal affection — and why naming what moves us is not exclusionary, but an act of generosity. Drawing on vivid imagery from flowers, music, birds, lovers, landscapes, and community healers, he reminds us that beauty is subjective, contextual, and inseparable from our histories, cultures, wounds, and joys.

Rather than treating beauty as something fleeting or rare, this episode frames it as ever-present — revealed through perspective, care, and willingness to be moved. Wolf also acknowledges the reality of ugliness and harm in the world, while affirming that choosing to notice and serve what is lovely is a meaningful, healing act in itself.

This episode is an invitation to speak our admiration out loud, to let praise inspire others, and to recognize beauty as a reciprocal gift — between people, plants, place, and time.

In this clip from The Herbalist Hour Episode 145, jim mcdonald breaks down one of his most foundational teachings: stress isn't one thing — and the herbs you choose should reflect how a person is stressed, not just the intensity of it.

Jim explores different stress patterns (sluggish, foggy, irritable, angry, overwhelmed) and how they point toward different herbal qualities — aromatics, bitters, nervines, and combinations. He digs into skullcap, vervain, chamomile, humoral temperaments, and the "frustrated / petulant child" pattern often described in older herbal writings.

This clip is classic jim: practical, deeply rooted in traditional herbal energetics, and focused on helping people think clearly about patterns rather than memorizing lists.
