Last Monday, I had the pleasure of hosting two sessions for Cozad Community Schools-Maker Fair 2026, and it was such a rewarding experience!

We explored The Alternative's holistic approach to health and wellness, breaking down what it means to look at the "whole" person. This includes our mental, emotional, physical, social, spiritual, and environmental health.

The students quickly grasped the first few dimensions, but when we got to environmental health, something really clicked. I asked them what comes to mind when they think of environmental health.
Answers like air pollution, ocean pollution, and recycling immediately came up.

Yes, those are absolutely part of it. But then I invited them to think closer to home: What does your morning routine look like? What's in your closet? What products do you use on your hair, skin, and body? What do you eat for breakfast, and how do you prepare it? What's in your lunchbox? What's your favorite candy?

As we went along, walking through a typical day together, I encouraged them to do a quick Google search on terms like "forever chemicals," arsenic, PFAS, carcinogens, BPA, autoimmune disease, and hormone disruptors to see what comes up about those everyday products.

The room got really quiet. You could see the lightbulbs going off. Then the questions started pouring in.

My goal wasn't to overwhelm or scare anyone. It was simply to open their eyes to how the products and materials we interact with daily can impact our long-term health. With studies and research continuously revealing new information, we're at a point where we can't afford to turn a blind eye to how our daily choices impact our health. Small, informed changes over time can make a real difference, and these young adults are at such a perfect age to start thinking about these things, especially as they prepare for life beyond high school.

As I reminded them: "When you know better, you do better."

What an honor to spend time with such curious, thoughtful, and engaged students! Thank you for inviting me to be a part of this event again this year, Cozad Community Schools.

"Do you have anything on hand that could help?"

This was the third mother to reach out in 30 hours. Her child was struggling through another night of fever, sore throat, cough, and drainage, and she was searching for support. As both a practitioner and a mother myself, I know that desperation in her voice, the need to do something when your child is going through it.

I went straight to my "apothecary" and found what you see here: elderberries I foraged and froze this past summer, fire cider I brewed months ago, and Usnea tincture I prepared at the end of summer. No waiting. No searching. No midnight pharmacy runs. Just ready, powerful remedies at my fingertips when they were needed most.

Right now, there's a wave of sickness moving through our community so severe that schools are closing their doors. In moments like these, I'm reminded why I spend my spring, summer, and fall days walking through the trees, banks, and pastures, learning to identify healing plants, and carefully preparing them for the seasons ahead.

*Here's what I want you to know: You could be doing this too.
It's never too late to learn which plants grow in your area, how to harvest them responsibly, and how to prepare your own natural medicine cabinet. Imagine being able to reach into your pantry at 2 AM when your family needs support RIGHT NOW, knowing you gathered and prepared these remedies with your own hands.

*BUT here's what I've learned as both a mother and a practitioner: the best medicine is the one you never have to use.
Prevention is where the real work happens. Supporting our bodies daily with proper vitamins, essential minerals, whole food nutrition, sunlight, regulation of the systems, rest, and foundational herbal support means we're not always scrambling when illness sweeps through. Our immune systems are incredible when we give them what they need to do their job.
I don't wait until my family is sick to think about their health, and you don't have to either.

*Want to know what my family's daily protocol looks like? Curious about both prevention and what to have on hand when illness strikes? Interested in partaking in the forage and preparation season? Message me. Let's build health together.
