Welcome back to The Plant Healer's Path. In this episode, Jesse Wolf Hardin offers a deeply heartfelt teaching on the essential — yet often overlooked — practice of tending to ourselves as healers, caregivers, herbalists, and helpers of all kinds.

Through story, reflection, and grounded wisdom, Wolf explores the emotional, physical, and spiritual costs of caring for others, and why our own vitality, rest, creativity, nourishment, and joy must remain at the center of our work.

If you've ever felt depleted, overstretched, compassion-fatigued, or burdened by the weight of wanting to "fix the whole damn world," this one is a powerful reminder to come home to yourself.
