## Resource

In this episode of the Plant Cunning Podcast, hosts AC and Isaac Hill are joined by Amelia South, known as "the No BS Herbalist." Amelia shares her journey into the world of plants and natural healing, inspired by the birth of her daughter and her early experiences with herbs. She delves into her practical approach to herbalism, emphasizing the importance of understanding the root causes of health issues, rather than just addressing symptoms with herbs. Amelia introduces her latest book, 'Think Like an Herbalist,' a practical guide aimed at those looking to deepen their understanding of herbalism and natural health practices without becoming professional herbalists. The conversation also touches on her upcoming book focused on mental health and subconscious healing, and the importance of mental wellbeing for both practitioners and clients. Tune in for a rich discussion on plant wisdom, personal healing journeys, and the intersection of physical, mental, and emotional health. 00:00 Introduction to the Plant Cunning Podcast 00:34 Meet Amelia South: The No BS Herbalist 03:38 Amelia's Journey into Herbalism 06:45 Teaching and Foraging Adventures 12:24 Amelia's Cookbook and Bone Broth Tips 33:10 Healing the Gut: Cabbage and Beyond 40:10 Understanding the Root of Addiction 41:23 The Role of the Subconscious Mind in Healing 43:28 Client Consultations and Setting Boundaries 44:29 The Importance of Willingness in Healing 47:09 Addressing Deep-Seated Beliefs 49:18 The Challenge of Helping Others 01:07:28 Balancing Personal and Professional Life 01:14:19 Streamlining Communication and Services 01:17:48 Future Plans and Final Thoughts
