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.
