When I mention the phrase “climate change,” does your mind immediately go to doom and gloom? I think we’re all plagued by a bit of fatalism when it comes to the subject... I know I tend to be. But there may just be hope on the horizon! Through a combination of ingenious technology, our climate future might just look a little brighter today than it did yesterday.
In this episode, I’ll share with you the story of Bill Gross, a US businessman who uses his shrewd acumen for the business and tech worlds for a greater good. Bill has put his incredible business skills to great use in the fight against climate change and has tackled some of the issue’s most important problems.

Have you seen the beautiful image captured by photographer Tobias Baumgartner last year? The one with two penguins holding hands? That is one of the most touching photos I’ve ever seen, and there’s an incredible story tied to those penguins, that proves empathy is all around us.
In this episode, I want to share with you an amazing incident that happened right here, in my orchard, that got me thinking about empathy in nature. Believe me, if anyone told me the story you’re going to hear, I wouldn’t have believed it, but it happened, and it taught me a great lesson about leading with empathy and just showing kindness to those around you.

“The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.” - Michel de Montaigne
Mother Earth is constantly giving us wonderful gifts to connect with ourselves, but in order to do that, we first need to connect with nature to see those magical wonders that it has to offer.
In the midst of the city rush and our daily hustle, sometimes it’s hard to find that quiet, still space that allows us to calm our bodies and our minds. That’s why in today’s episode I focused on suggesting to you 12 ways in which you can connect with nature and see those gifts that Mother Earth generously shares with us. These simple suggestions include walking barefoot in the grass, capturing the beauty of nature with your smartphone, boosting your immune system by going plant-based, finding the wonders of waking up at dawn, and so much more.
Tune in to Episode 19 of Flowerhood, and learn simple, but life-changing tips that will help you live a healthier and happier life. After trying them, you will feel more connected to yourself and to the ground that gives us life.

2021 is the year to work smarter, not harder. It is the year to create time in your schedule for dreaming, envisioning, breathing, and getting out into nature. To do that, we have to first get clear on our why, and then prioritise what we know makes us happier, healthier, and more fulfilled.
In today’s episode, I encourage you to reflect on 2020 and see what you can take with you in the new year, and what needs to be let go of. To get you started, I share the three key takeaways I learned from my reflection, and how I’m going to apply them moving forward.
Tune in to Episode 18 of Flowerhood, to learn how you can use the Pareto principle to your advantage, how to regroup and re-energize yourself if you’ve been running on fumes, and why you should look at everything around you with curiosity instead of judgment.

We all have that one thing we’ve been meaning to cross off our bucket list. Whether it be joining that club we’ve been eyeing, picking up a new hobby, or even booking our dream holiday, we can all definitely relate to the feeling of curiosity when it comes to trying new things.

In today’s episode, I want to share my perspective on why having a relationship with the natural world is so important, the effect that environmental withdrawal has on our bodies, as well as the revolutionary ‘Forest Air Method’, which first originated in Japan.
