Audacious Herb

02/21/2026

Becoming an herbalist has been more than just learning how to use the incredible plants God gave us to heal, it’s about empowering ourselves with knowledge and freedom to choose. I’m grateful for western medicine when I needed it the most, but natural medicine will forever have my heart

I didn’t understand when my world was crumbling, it felt like I was losing everything I cared about, everything I worked had for, everything that I loved. I didn’t understand how a loving Heavenly Father could let his daughter hurt as much as I did. I didn’t get it, until He wiped my slate clean so He could rebuild it according to HIS will, and not mine. Which led to a life so rich and beautiful, I couldn’t have planned or created on my own.

Let me be clear, I’ve done A LOT of healing, but I still have a lot to do. I’m in a good place now, but I still have work to do. I’ve learned the hard way that being an open book is not a good quality. I had to learn the hard way to stop throwing my pearls to the swine. Keep your book safe. Close the door. Don’t let anyone make you feel guilty you did. And live the best version of you unapologetically.

Not sure what this year holds, but we’re pushing forward like it’s gonna be the best one yet!

This advice is gold! And I wish someone would have told me this when we first started!

If I were starting a NEW garden this year, I’d do things a little differently.

I wouldn’t aim for the biggest harvest or try to grow everything. I’d focus on building a garden that’s resilient and steady, because right now that matters more than abundance.

I’d start by asking simple, honest questions.
What do we actually eat every week?
What vegetables do we truly enjoy?
What stores well and helps keep food on the table longer?

Instead of growing allllll the things, I’d grow fewer varieties and put my energy into growing them well. The kinds of foods that earn their space because they get used.

I’d focus on building healthy soil first, because everything begins there. I’d make sure the garden could be watered even if I wasn’t around, instead of relying only on rain or hand watering (which is very hard in our Texas weather).

I’d design it to feed my family year after year without taking over my entire life.

And I’d learn how to protect it from unpredictable weather with things like row covers, wind protection, and shade cloth.

A resilient garden doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be thoughtful.

If you’re planning on starting a garden this year, consider starting small and focusing on what truly supports your household. Grow what you love, build strong soil, and create systems that make gardening sustainable for you.

I’d love to hear what you’re planning to grow this season.

P.S. Thank you for supporting your local farmers, ranchers, makers, bakers & beekeepers. Supporting locally grown & local food matters!

God really knows what he is doing 🥰

Even though it’s mostly thick layers of ice and sleet, we still had a blast! We always over prepare for potential disasters, so instead of worrying, we enjoy the time together 😍❄️🙌🏼

There’s been a lot of people who have criticized me for being angry at God, or asking Him “WHY”. The more I tried to suppress my feelings, the more broken I became. But the more raw I was in front of my Savior, the more I healed, because He revealed His grace over and over, and then I began to heal, and understand His plan for me. It started to make sense, and I found so much peace in that. But I legit felt like Jacob at some points, in fist fights with God. instead He just embraced me until I was able to breathe again.

Keep going, friend. It will be worth it! Love, your friend who has been there and came out on the other side ❤️

I was born in Colorado, where no one panics over a winter storm. Now living in Texas....
Winter storms here are no joke 😳 mostly because TX isn’t prepared for this kind of weather, but also the ice is on a whole different level here

1. I went along with healing trends. Healing isn’t trendy, it’s intentional. It’s never one size fits all, and chasing what’s popular can pull you further from what your body actually needs.
2. I assumed that if something worked for someone else, it would work for me. I pushed my body hard with herbs, and it pushed back harder. I had to learn how to listen to my body’s cues instead of forcing a protocol.
3. I thought more classes, more certifications, and more books would make me better. Experience taught me more than anything else ever could. You never feel ready until you actually start working with the herbs.
4. I believed it had to be either alternative healing or western medicine. I used to despise western medicine, and honestly, I had reasons to. It hurt me deeply. But when I found the right people with the right intentions, I realized balance matters. Both worlds have something to teach us.
5. I didn’t understand that healing requires patience. I wanted results fast. The body doesn’t heal on demand. It heals when it feels safe, supported, and respected.
