As a licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and a cherished member of our online herbal mentorship, Apothecary Momma, Terri shared her perspective on the lack of support for women in recovery. We explored generational trauma, societal expectations, harsh judgment, and the intensified guilt and shame faced by pregnant women with substance use or mental health issues.

Terri passionately believes in the healing potential of herbs and envisions them as a revolution in recovery, prenatal care and family care.  We also explored Terri's personal journey into herbalism, starting with health challenges leading to a hysterectomy to the transformative experience of her grandson moving in. Her study of herbs improved their well-being, and her grandson now actively participates in choosing and incorporating them into their routine.

She emphasized the importance of reclaiming ancestral knowledge lost due to societal changes and misinformation. Terri's dedication to healing others and integration of herbal medicine left a lasting impact. Our conversation deepened my admiration for her and shed light on the profound trauma experienced by many women, highlighting the need for a holistic approach to support.

This heartfelt conversation with Terri provides valuable insights and personal stories, showcasing the power of herbalism. I encourage you to tune in and share this episode with other moms who may find inspiration in Terri's journey.
