You're Not Alone | OCD Help

Maria Failla is a "plant-killer-turned-happy-plant-lady." She is an advocate for plant care beyond the basic light exposure and water drainage, as she believes plants and nature are key to improving mental health. Her lifestyle change from being a "plant killer" to really understanding the intricacies of nature has given her clarity in many aspects of life. Her  disconnection from screens and reconnection with nature granted her mindfulness, subsequently alleviating her mental health.

In this episode we talk about: 

◾️ How a disconnecting from nature can negatively impact life ◾️ Exploring the possibilities of plant care even in an urban setting ◾️ How nature can improve overall wellness mentally and physically
