We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jessica Divine. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jessica below.

Jessica, appreciate you joining us today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?

In 2015, my health was at an all time low. I was 30lbs overweight, dealing with chronic allergies, low energy, and pre-diabetes. It felt like I was in a black hole of declining health. I was tired of popping prescription medications daily and feeling like my health wasn’t improving. I knew if I continued on that path, I would be chronically ill within a few years. I decided to take matters into my own hands and started researching about healing the body naturally. I learned from so many great teachers. As I started to try herbal products and shift my diet, my health drastically improved within months. It was literally a mind, body, and soul transformation. I was so amazed at how effective the herbs worked that I wanted to make my own to ensure I was receiving the highest quality. Creating concoctions using food and plants is something I have always loved to do, even as a child. It came quite naturally to me. I wanted to create high quality products that were tasty (since most on the market were bitter and hard to take). I knew that if I created good tasting blends, I would be more inclined to be consistent. As my health improved, my coworkers and family were curious about my products. I started making products for them and it was a BIG hit. I was pretty much forced into selling the tea and supplements. People loved that the products were not only providing good results but also tasted amazing. Eventually, this resulted in me creating my brand, Herbal Renaissance. My belief is that healing can be delicious!

Herbal Renaissance is a health and wellness company that supplies high quality medicinal herbal teas and supplements, teaches people how to reconnect with nature, and restores our connection back to ancient wisdom about balancing the mind, body, and soul. Teaching people how to locally forage wild plants and grow plants for healing is something we are truly passionate about. Healing is all around us!

Jessica, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My name is Jessica Divine. I am an ancestral herbalist and metaphysician. I got into herbalism by becoming accountable for my own healing in 2015. In 2022, I actually discovered my great grandfather was a Florida “Medicine Man”. This confirmed my natural connection and affection for nature, plants, and healing the body naturally.

My company Herbal Renaissance, provides medicinal herbal teas and supplements. Our favorite saying is “Healing Can Be Delicious”. We understand that being ill takes a toll on the human mind, body, and soul. We want our products to uplift and enlighten others. Our products accomplish this by offering a satisfying sensual experience. People ask me all the time “How do I come up with such delicious powerful blends”? The truth is that my recipes for my herbal blends have come to me through intuition or dreams. It’s really that simple.

We stand apart because we are very adamant about using our social media platform to teach others how to identify and forage wild plants, grow their own medicinal plants and process them for healing remedies. We believe that healing is all around us. Just about every plant that you see has a Medicinal property. It is our mission to teach people about these things. Most people don’t realize that healing is literally right in their backyard.

We are proud that we are able to provide a natural resource that people can use to heal themselves. We love hearing the testimonies. We are proud that we are doing this sustainably and ethically. As well, we are proud to provide our local community and employees a livable wage. We believe that there is room for all of us to win.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

As a very private person, social media was a bit jarring for me. However, I knew that as a business owner, social media was the number one way to market my business. I built my audience up by adding value. This included teaching people about herbs, plants, natural healing methods, and how to make their own healing remedies. The best thing a business can do on social media is educate or entertain. This is how you build brand awareness and brand trust.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

One lesson I have had to learn in business is that having a team and support is necessary for expansion. As a person who is used to doing everything solo, I quickly learned that it is the fastest way to burnout. Allowing people to come in and assist me and being open enough to ask for assistance has been the best decision ever..
