476: Kimberly Kling on the Impact of Herbs.
Inspiration through nature’s bounty of nourishing plants.
In This Podcast:
Working in a desk job and knowing that it was not a good fit, it still took Kimberly Kling a little while to build up the courage to do something different. Eventually she found herself on a path to learning about herbalism and has finally found her passion. As a devoted learner, she is learning as much as she can, but still finds time to share with others what she has learned so far.
