The Power of Starting Over
There’s something incredibly powerful about starting over. Even when it’s humbling.
I’ve been feeling this a lot recently as I clear the garden beds of overgrown oregano and push new seeds into the ground, one after another.
As I decide, once more, to start over in my life.
Ten years ago I began writing my first online course.
It was going to be a garden full of everything I’d learned about connecting with plants—dreamwork, shamanic journeying, plant communication, flower essences, on-the-body treatments, land healing…
I had dreams, of course, but I had no idea that when Intuitive Plant Medicine finally debuted, it would change my entire life.
Before I released it, I set a goal of 100 students—a number I thought was a reach, but one that I hoped would change the sustainability of my business. A few weeks later I officially launched the course and OVER 600 PEOPLE SIGNED UP.
I was floored. I was in awe. And I wasn’t prepared.
My sister stepped in to help me as I scrambled on the backend of the website. I sent emails manually to each participant until 3 am every night. In the final hours of the sale, our entire website went down.
New beginnings aren’t ever without hiccups…but the launch of Intuitive Plant Medicine signaled a HUGE new era in my life. An era of building the confidence to teach deeper, teach braver. Of being truly supported (financially and spiritually) to follow my dreams and of profoundly trusting the intuitive messages I was receiving from the Earth.
This program, and everything it carries, defined the last decade of my life.
Then, last fall, a new era began for me again.
For anyone who wasn’t walking with me then, last September Hurricane Helene ravaged the mountains where I live in North Carolina, causing a cascade of destruction, including a thousand-year flood that wiped out our entire town—and my beloved apothecary.
My apothecary housed over thirteen years of medicine. It was the place where I first started seeing clients and teaching classes. It was where I designed and launched Intuitive Plant Medicine. It was a seed bank for whole a decade of dreams.
And then, it was gone.
It was heartbreaking to see every last memento lost to the mud… but it was heartbreaking in the same way that we break ground in our gardens. It opened me.
I remember literally standing in my Tyvek suit and respirator, sorting through the detritus of this whole era of my life thinking… this just means I can begin again.
And in that moment, I had a crazy idea. Something I never thought I’d do, but that just felt SO right.
As I watched all my medicines go back to the Earth, I realized I wanted to go back to the start too, to mark this new era in my life by offering Intuitive Plant Medicine at its ORIGINAL sale price from over eight years ago.
When I told my team I wanted to do this they looked at me like 🤯
We’ve more than quadrupled the content in the course since it first launched. And even when it first debuted it was seriously underpriced.
But there’s just something about starting over. About pressing the refresh button and remembering how it felt when I first began, that sense of life ready to surprise you beyond your imagining…
So I’m making this vision a reality.
From now until May 29th the entire Intuitive Plant Medicine program will be 40% off.
I may not ever do this again. If I do, I’ll have to endure my team looking at me once more like: 😳
But if you have a sense of a new beginning afoot for yourself too, dear one…
If you feel broken open by the past year and are ready to plant the seeds of a new era…
If your world feels like freshly turned soil and you’re ready for the Earth to guide you in making your life the garden you’ve dreamed of… this 8-week course in healing with the plants is waiting for you.
Because new eras will arrive for you in life, dear one.
It may not be every day, or even every year, but if you only listen to the Earth and open your heart to the wisdom that is already streaming towards you—your new era can open as swiftly as a peony in the sunshine of May.
