In this episode, inspired by 5 years of playing with nature metaphors and recent time spent gardening, I dive into a cycle of nature that helps us understand the journey of mothering ourselves mindfully.

Episode Highlights:

• The Garden Metaphor: How placing our personal "garden" in a community of like-minded mothers creates the foundation for growth
• Becoming a Mindful Gardener: The practice of observing ourselves with curiosity, discernment, acceptance, and kindness
• Tending to Your Soil: Why examining your nervous system patterns (like people-pleasing or perfectionism) is essential before planting new habits
• The Plant-Nourish-Flourish Cycle: Why we often struggle with the crucial nourishment step between intention and results
• Growth Takes Time: Understanding that personal transformation follows natural cycles and requires patience, just like gardening
• Community as the Key to Flourishing: Why true flourishing happens in connection with others who support your journey

Important Announcements:
