Welcome back to the Soul Summit Podcast – Presented by Her Outdoor Journey and proudly sponsored by Maven Optics, Bakcou E-Bikes, HOYT Archery, onX Maps, and Sawyer Products!

This week’s episode is a beautiful blend of faith, foraging, and the kind of practical wisdom that only comes from living close to the land.

We’re thrilled to welcome Tawny Leger—a homesteader, herbalist, and mama raising her kids with dirt under their nails and wonder in their hearts. 

Tawny shares her journey from nature-loving kid to intentional forager, how her faith has shaped her view of creation, and the pivotal moment as a new mom that made her question what she was putting on (and in) her family’s bodies. 

She shares the joys and challenges of homesteading, raising kids outdoors, and what it looks like to teach the next generation about stewardship, simplicity, and healing through God’s design. We also talk about ethical foraging in the Pacific Northwest, her go-to remedies for spring and summer, and one of her favorite practical ways to use wild plants at home.

This episode also previews Tawny’s upcoming Masterclass with the Pros, where she’ll teach plant ID, safe and ethical harvesting, and how to make simple remedies from things you can find in your own backyard. Whether you're brand new to foraging or looking to deepen your knowledge, her class is a must.

Plus, Tawny will be hosting the HOJ Women’s Faith-Centered Retreat happening June 26–28, 2025 in Fall Creek, Oregon. Tawny and Courtney will co-lead a powerful weekend focused on joy, community, and reconnecting with God through creation.
