GOAL SHARE: Meet Margaret James of Wild & Radiant
I feel I have known Margaret James for a few lifetimes yet in this one lifetime as we have evolved identities many times over since our first encounter across states and way back before this life. I have been honored to be a coach through some transformations and support of launches for Margaret while I have also have learned to lay down and rest, neti pot, breast massage and estrogen knowledge to name a few through her coaching in rest, Ayurveda and feminine embodiment. She is a force of nature, truly.
Meet Margaret.

Hey there! I’m Margaret James, founder and creator of Wild & Radiant Botanicals. Right now, I primarily make skincare and body care products using organic and mostly-locally sourced ingredients. Some of the ingredients I even grow in my own backyard! I make everything in small batches with great love.
After years of making my own skin and body care products, I decided to venture into a new realm of business by adding products that align with my holistic wellness coaching. So, I launched Wild & Radiant Botanicals in August of this year (2021). My deep desire is that when people intentionally take time out of their day to put their own hands on their own body, the power of Mother Nature present in every product will help them remember their True Nature of bliss and radiance. I want people to experience intimate belonging to their bodies and to Nature and to cultivate radical self reverence so they can (re)claim their Wholeness.
I have a big vision for Wild & Radiant which includes several big goals next year:
-I want to add consumable products such as tinctures and teas that can create the conditions for greater ease in the body, mind, and heart because inherent in ease is freedom.
-I’m also looking to partner with local shops to carry Wild & Radiant who are committed to eco conscious practices.
-I’ll be starting a recycling program as well so people can get a discount for returned bottles and jars.
-I’m working on a mutual aid fund so a percentage of every sale will be used to make medicines for those in need of herbal support (examples include but not limited to: water protectors, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and people in the immediate postpartum period).
-I want to create a seasonal box of herbal products to reconnect people to the rhythms and cycles of nature and spark curiosity about their immediate surroundings to cultivate intimate belonging to the land around them.
After working in commercial real estate for almost a decade, I finally left my job 18 months ago to take my business full time. To say it’s been a wild ride is an understatement and yet, I’m the most happy, fulfilled, and creative I’ve ever been. I get to connect with so many amazing people who inspire me, encourage me, and support me, and I get to do the same for them. We get to co-create a world full of more potent beauty, intimate belonging, radical reverence, and abundant vibrancy. Together.
