Welcome back to The Plant Healer's Path. In this episode, Jesse Wolf Hardin explores one of the most essential — yet often misunderstood — aspects of the plant healer's journey: finding and defining your true niche. Through poetic reflection, grounded teaching, and decades of lived experience, Wolf unpacks what it really means to discover your unique role within the larger healing field. From folk herbalists and family practitioners to growers, medicine makers, teachers, clinicians, and culture builders, he illuminates how each healer carries a distinct "individual medicine" — a signature blend of talents, interests, aesthetics, convictions, and calling. You'll hear why purpose needs form to fully manifest, how specialization isn't limitation but clarification, and why a well-defined niche becomes both your home base and your vantage point for serving the world. Wolf traces the word "niche" back to its Latin root meaning "nest," inviting you to consider how your own healing work is woven from the land, the people you serve, the methods you love, and the story you tell. If you've ever felt scattered, unsure where you truly fit, or called to refine your focus without losing your heart, this episode offers a powerful framework for aligning your gifts, your audience, your role, and your deeper purpose into a coherent, living practice.
