WINTER SOLSTICE SPECIAL: Nick Moya | Mushrooms, Oregon Grape & Play
In this special Winter Solstice edition of The Herbalist Hour, Mason sits down in person with one of his closest friends and longtime herbal ally, Nick Moya. Nick and Mason first met over a decade ago while studying together at the Columbine School of Botanical Studies, and this conversation feels like two old friends weaving together stories, science, herbal wisdom, and deep curiosity. Nick shares his personal path into herbalism, his love of medicinal mushrooms, and how herbal knowledge shows up in his daily life — not as a clinical practitioner, but as a deeply engaged human, forager, maker, teacher, and lifelong learner. Together, they explore mushroom double extractions, Turkey Tail, Oregon Grape (Mahonia/Berberis), the importance of play, sustainable wildcrafting, writing herbal monographs, teaching plant walks, and what it means to live a truly holistic life. This episode was recorded in person during Nick and his partner Steph’s cross-country road trip, making for a warm, wide-ranging, and heartfelt conversation. ~Mason PS - LINKS & RESOURCES OsoMoya | OsoMoya on Etsy | Wildcrafting Checklist | BOOK: Play it Away by Charlie Hoehn | Columbines School of Botanical Studies | Hawthorn elixir recipe | Rooted Remedies Apothecary | The Herbalist Hour Episode Playlist on YouTube | The Mushroom Hour Podcast | Thomas Easley's Medicine Making | 🌼WANT MORE HERBAL GOODNESS?

The Resilient Healer | Trying Times, Infinite Possibilities & Wild Celebration
Welcome back to The Plant Healer’s Path — Episode 22. In this powerful and wide-ranging episode, Jesse Wolf Hardin speaks directly to the moment we’re living in — a time of immense challenge, ecological strain, cultural pressure, and profound possibility. Wolf reflects on the crossroads facing herbalists, healers, and culture-shifters of all kinds, exploring how fear, grief, and uncertainty can become sources of clarity, motivation, and purposeful action. Rather than retreating into resignation or victimhood, we’re invited to deepen our awareness, sharpen our senses, and remember our place within the living world. This episode weaves together themes of herbal access, plant protection, self-worth, intuition, responsibility, and celebration — reminding us that even in difficult times, it remains possible to cultivate meaning, connection, and joy. Herbalism is framed not only as medicine, but as a vital skill for self-care, community resilience, and cultural renewal. A stirring reflection on empowered folk herbalism, embodied awareness, and the wild responsibility of living fully — even when the stakes are high. This audio was extracted from .

Identifying The One Plant That Will Teach & Serve You Best
Welcome back to The Plant Healer’s Path — Episode 21. In this reflective episode, Jesse Wolf Hardin explores the idea that among all the plants we cherish, there may be one green ally whose presence, timing, symbolism, or healing effect plays a uniquely meaningful role in our lives. Wolf shares how a personal plant may appear during transition, heartbreak, celebration, or illness — offering medicine, emotional clarity, inspiration, or companionship. A plant ally might be one we’ve known for years but only now truly hear, or an unexpected species that arrives precisely when needed. We’re invited to slow down, notice the plants around us, feel their resonance, and recognize the qualities, stories, and teachings they bring. Once we identify our plant, we can turn to it for grounding, guidance, and everyday support. A beautiful meditation on intuition, plant relationship, and the lifelong path of learning from nature.

Plus, unlock 12 more herbal freebies! 👉 In this deeply honest conversation, Ashley Elenbaas of SkyHouse Herbs shares how yoga quite literally saved her life — helping her heal from an eating disorder, substance use, and the inner voices that once told her she was not enough. Ashley reflects on taking her very first yoga class at age 12 in Minneapolis, discovering embodiment for the first time, and later deepening her practice while attending college in Asheville. As yoga, meditation, and philosophy began reshaping her relationship with her body and mind, plants naturally entered the picture — guiding her toward an energetic, holistic approach to herbalism rooted in awareness, presence, and self-healing. Today, Ashley continues a daily movement practice that includes yoga, running, and weightlifting — and she also teaches yoga at a women’s recovery center, supporting others through trauma, addiction, and reconnection with the body. In this clip, we explore: – Discovering yoga at a young age and learning embodiment – Healing from an eating disorder through movement and mindfulness – How yoga philosophy shaped her herbal path – The connection between plants, chakras, and energetics – Teaching yoga to women in recovery – Stillness, mental strength, and the real work of presence Ashley also speaks to the quiet power of staying in a single pose, listening to the stories of the mind, and learning — one breath at a time — that transformation is possible. This excerpt is part of a longer, wide-ranging conversation on healing, embodiment, recovery, and the deep overlap between yoga and herbalism.

Dr. Tieraona Low Dog on Love, Care & Finding Your True Path
In this moving excerpt from Episode 68 of The Herbalist Hour, Dr. Tieraona Low Dog offers a deeply grounded reflection on what self-care truly means — and why she believes we can let go of the word “self” altogether. She speaks on love as something that must include ourselves, the importance of quiet and time in nature, and why the voice we hear in solitude is often the one we most need to trust. Drawing from lived experience, family, and the natural world, Dr. Low Dog reminds us that we are both profoundly strong and deeply fragile — and that both truths deserve tenderness. You’ll also hear a thoughtful exchange about distraction, technology, walking in silence, and how listening to the land can reconnect us to our purpose, our ancestors, and our place in the long chain of life. A beautiful reminder to slow down, take the headphones off, and remember that you are not alone — and that you are here for a reason. 🌼WANT MORE HERBAL GOODNESS?

What You Can & Can’t Affect: A Vital Realization for Healers & Others

What You Can & Can’t Affect: A Vital Realization for Healers & Others
Welcome back to The Plant Healer’s Path — Episode 20. In this episode, Jesse Wolf Hardin explores one of the deepest inner tensions faced by healers, activists, caregivers, and culture-shapers alike: the longing to create real, visible change — and the emotional weight of what we cannot control. Through poetic reflection and grounded wisdom, Wolf speaks to the outcome-oriented heart that lives inside so many of us — especially herbalists, healthcare providers, parents, justice workers, and environmental advocates. He explores our shared desire to relieve suffering, to fix what is broken, to bring about lasting cures and total solutions — and the quiet harm that can arise when we measure our worth solely by what we can “successfully” change. You’ll hear why it’s both beautiful and perilous to carry the world’s pain on our shoulders, how unrealistic expectations can quietly drain our vitality, and why a truly sustainable healing practice depends on learning the difference between what we can influence and what we must release. Wolf offers a compassionate framework for shifting from impossible cures toward meaningful, tangible, day-to-day impact — without abandoning our deeper ideals. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by outcomes you couldn’t control, burned out by constant striving, or torn between big visions and personal limits, this episode offers a powerful reminder: your small, steady, real-world efforts matter more than you may realize.

Finding Your Own Niche in Herbalism | What Best Distinguishes You?
Welcome back to The Plant Healer’s Path. In this episode, Jesse Wolf Hardin explores one of the most essential — yet often misunderstood — aspects of the plant healer’s journey: finding and defining your true niche. Through poetic reflection, grounded teaching, and decades of lived experience, Wolf unpacks what it really means to discover your unique role within the larger healing field. From folk herbalists and family practitioners to growers, medicine makers, teachers, clinicians, and culture builders, he illuminates how each healer carries a distinct “individual medicine” — a signature blend of talents, interests, aesthetics, convictions, and calling. You’ll hear why purpose needs form to fully manifest, how specialization isn’t limitation but clarification, and why a well-defined niche becomes both your home base and your vantage point for serving the world. Wolf traces the word “niche” back to its Latin root meaning “nest,” inviting you to consider how your own healing work is woven from the land, the people you serve, the methods you love, and the story you tell. If you’ve ever felt scattered, unsure where you truly fit, or called to refine your focus without losing your heart, this episode offers a powerful framework for aligning your gifts, your audience, your role, and your deeper purpose into a coherent, living practice.

The Struggle of Marketing as an Herbalist | Alex Williams
In this clip from The Herbalist Hour, Alex Williams of First Curve Apothecary joins me for an honest, grounded conversation about what it really feels like to promote your work in the herbal world. We dive into the tension between authenticity and business, why marketing often feels gross or performative, the pressure to “sell yourself,” and how herbalists can share their offerings without feeding the hype, fear, or scarcity that so often drives conventional marketing. Alex speaks candidly about learning to trust that people are “enough” as they are, navigating capitalism as a village herbalist, and finding ways to sustain a business while staying true to your values. If you’ve ever struggled with selling herbal products, pricing your work, or promoting yourself without feeling like you’re selling your soul… this one is for you.

Ep. 50 Replay | Celebrating the Life of John Gallagher
In this very special replay of The Herbalist Hour Episode 50, I sit down with John Gallagher — co-founder of LearningHerbs and a beloved member of the herbal community who recently passed away after a long struggle with depression, anxiety, and insomnia. This episode means the world to me. If you’ve followed HerbRally for a while, you’ve probably heard me talk about how much John influenced my herbal journey. His podcast, HerbMentor Radio, was my introduction to the wider herbal world. I devoured every episode — over and over again. Through those interviews, I felt like I knew the herbalists he featured. And John was the thread running through it all — full of curiosity, warmth, humor, and a contagious laugh. Eventually I became an HerbMentor member (still am to this day), and a few years later, John actually became a friend. I’ll never forget him visiting the Mountain Rose Herbs marketing department when I worked there — he brought so much joyful energy with him. And at RootStalk, the legendary one-time herbal gathering, I feel like our friendship really took root. It was also there that I learned John wasn’t quite as squeaky clean off-mic as he was on his show — turns out he loved to swear, just like me! That only made me love him more. Over the years, I got to know him better through shared time at events, visits to his home in Port Townsend, chats on the phone, and eventually, this very conversation on The Herbalist Hour. Recording this episode felt like a full-circle moment. I finally got to sit down and interview someone who helped shape my path in herbalism — not just as a mentor from afar, but as a real friend. Everyone I know who knew John adored him. He lit up every room. And he gave so much to this community. My heart goes out to Kimberly, their children, his family, and everyone who loved him. John — I love you, buddy. Thank you for being there during some rough times. Thank you for your support of HerbRally. And thank you for helping open up the herbal world to me, and to so many others. You’ll be deeply missed. ~Mason Prefer to watch the video version? You can find it on YouTube here | P.S. If you or someone you care about is struggling with depression, anxiety, insomnia, or thoughts of self-harm, please know that you’re not alone — and that there is help available. 📞 Call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 anytime, or visit for more resources.
