I shake my head when folks make comments like this:

Why pay to learn about herbs?

Don’t pay, just Google it!

The internet will tell you everything for free.

I understand trying to save money, especially in times like this. And yes, the internet is our biggest information resource, but if you’re serious about developing an herbal practice that you can rely on for your health and certainly if you’re on the path of becoming a professional in this space, wondering how you can do it for free ain’t the question, much less the strategy.

In this video we’re going talk about what it takes to become an herbalist. I’ll share the struggles I’ve had in my career and how much money I’ve invested in becoming more proficient.

Additionally, I’ll inspire you to think more deeply about your goals, share resources, a study and spiritual savings plan as well as tips on where and how you can learn for free or for little money.

Whether you’re interested in herbs for your own personal use or to help others, there’s a lot you need to know.

Free may save you money, but it costs in time and requires more of your focus and discipline. Tune into this video, get clear on your intent, and discern when and what you need to invest in.

With love,
Selima & Tami
