Meet Jacob Laughlin, our Student Spotlight!
I’m Jacob Laughlin, though most folks call me Hoss. I’m married with two kids, one super sweet (11) and one feral (3). I stay pretty busy as an 8th-grade civics teacher, completing coursework with Heart of Herbs to become a clinical herbalist, and getting Tinsel and Tonic Apothecary up and running. In between all that, I stay active in church, run the oldest to various practices, help my wife build her art studio, and serve as the sitting Master of my Lodge.
I got into herbalism because of my kids. My oldest developed digestive and intestinal issues after repeated rounds of antibiotics for recurring strep throat, which eventually led to antibiotic-induced celiac complications. My youngest dealt with molluscum contagiosum that just wouldn’t go away, even though the doctors said it eventually would. I couldn’t stand seeing the kids hurting like that, so I started looking for other ways to help.
It brought me back to something I remembered from growing up, my Mamaw turning to the plant world when a health issue arose. Since we already had a homestead and a self-sufficiency mindset, herbalism felt like a natural step. Once I started learning and seeing what plants can do, it changed me for good.
Also, I am Santa.
