Hi I'm Jovie 👋🏻Here's my story ⬇️

If you're new here, this is how the last 5 years of my life happened!

I started learning about herbalism in 2011 because, honestly, I didn't have access to healthcare.

I was blown away when I saw that herbs actually worked for real life situations, so went back to college ( I already had a degree in biology) to study herbalism, then opened my first online apothecary selling body care products that I LOVED making.

Unfortunately, I started buying into all the wellness rhetoric that demonized anything that wasn't "all natural", and saw first hand the slippery slope into conspiracy theories and the right pipeline.

I developed an eating disorder (orthorexia) and became obsessed with achieving perfection when it came to my diet, exercise, and lifestyle. It got so bad that I ended up needing emergency abdominal surgery, which was my biggest fear at the time.

After that, I became so put off by the whole wellness industry, that I quit the apothecary entirely for five years and focused on just growing the plants and getting to know them for myself (while bartending to pay the bills).

In 2020, even though it terrified me, I decided to get vaccinated bc it felt like the right thing to do, and the rest is history.

I've been able to achieve the biggest dream of my life, and I still struggle with depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. I go back and forth between being in complete disbelief that I get to live my dream life... and wanting to sell everything and move into a simple townhouse that isn't so much work or so isolated.

I'm trying to learn to rebuild community, because even though I show that you don't HAVE to have a partner to do what I do, I don't believe anyone should do any of this alone.

This year I want to finally start hosting events out here, because it's way to incredible out here on the property to just keep it all to my self.

Anyway, that's just a little of my story. If you've read this far, I'd love to hear what brought you to find me, if my story resonates with you, and what you'd like to see more of in my posts this next year!

*Maladaptive* perfectionism, that is ⬇️

When your wellness journey becomes defined by restrictive rules and the fear of impurity, it ceases to be a source of health.

It becomes, ironically, the most toxic force in your life.

We must validate the good intentions behind seeking "clean living", then pivot to the balanced science of risk and resilience.

Accessible care is sustainable care. I want to teach you how to integrate powerful plant medicine into the margins of your day, ensuring your support is reliable and never adds to your stress load.

You deserve a practice that creates peace, not anxiety. A practice that meets you where you are, not one that constantly demands more.

If you are ready to stop the shame cycle and build a resilient, non-judgemental herbal practice that actually supports your life, I invite you to come learn with me!

I have so many free offerings and so much long form content to share with you in the coming weeks!

Hear me out ⬇️ No shade to the cousins walk!

But my personal secret weapon for family gatherings is:
🌱Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca)🌱 and I'll give you 3 reasons why:

(Comment MOTHERWORT for the full article Beyond Self-Help: Anger as Fuel for Sustainable Action)

🌱Motherwort helps us stay fiercely present, soothing the panic in the chest while subtly encouraging the movement of stuck, tense energy.

A bitter plant with affinities for the cardiovascular, reproductive, endocrine, and nervous systems— Motherwort has a beautiful way of softening while simultaneously strengthening us.

Action 1: Heart and Circulation (Cardiotonic): Motherwort is renowned for being a heart tonic, particularly for stress-related issues. She can help us feel literally and figuratively anchored during emotional storms.

Action 2: Nervous System (Nervine): Motherwort is a nervine that is exceptional for those who feel fiercely protective but struggle to ground that intensity—she helps us hold our boundaries without collapsing into overwhelm.

Action 3: Bitter Taste (Hepatic Connection): Motherwort's noticeable bitter taste ensures she participates in digestive and hepatic movement. This means Motherwort is working not only on the agitated heart and nerves but also gently assisting in the emotional release often tied to the liver/digestive processes (and digest big family meals!)

🌱Taken as: Tincture or tea, sweetened with honey if desired
🚫Contraindications: Motherwort should not be worked with during pregnancy, as it can stimulate the uterus. It may increase the effects of blood pressure medications, blood thinners, and sedatives.

Are you team walk with the cousins? Have you worked with Motherwort? Tell me in the comments!

It's come to my attention that some of y'all are pulling these bad boys by hand and we just can't have that anymore!

And if you already knew this: don't be rude about it.

If you don't have the means to do this, that's understandable. This post isn't meant for everyone, and it's definitely not meant for those losing SNAP benefits since the up front cost would be impractical.

My local food bank doesn't accept goods taken out of their original packaging, so if you do this you most likely won't be able to donate any of it. But do reach out and see what they need and what they don't accept. If they have a website it's posted there.

If you also have the means, and if your food bank isn't asking for specific items, please consider donating cash. Food banks can often get food from suppliers for pennies on the dollar, so for every meal you're able to purchase from the grocery store and donate, they may be able to provide several if they buy it themselves with the cash you gave them.

5% of every order total through my website (before my costs are taken out) is currently being donated to the Food for Lane County food bank weekly.
