Whether you are an avid gardener, interested in permaculture, or just curious about nature’s order and your place on this earth, today’s episode holds an epiphany for all. As Rachel plans her garden in Sweden, she shares the greatest lesson she has learned so far, in both gardening and in life: you cannot force growth. You can only surrender to the will of nature and bloom in your own time. Recounting a hilarious story (that may or may not involve lizards, jalapeños and vacuuming plants), the intricate balance of all living things becomes clear - and the path forward becomes obvious. Grow where you are planted, align with your natural cycles, and let everything else be. Tune in for an episode that will remind you of your place in the balance of life.

Many of us agree that the way life is working right now isn’t actually working at all. We work long hours for little in return. Our food comes from boxes instead of the earth. If we run into any problem, we often feel alone. We don’t have a community to lean on. If you could build a brand new society, what would it look like? After a long day skating with her family, Rachel reflects on the new life she is building in today’s episode. Sweden is not a new country to her - she was born there - but she is seeing it with brand new eyes. As she spends time getting acquainted with the land, she begins to dream of what her family’s future will look like. But are her dreams realistic in today’s society? If you stay focused, keep your vision in your heart, and work toward it little by little, anything is possible. Tune in for an episode that will inspire you to shake up your life, change your priorities, start fresh, and begin to build the life you were always meant to live - no matter what society says!

And just in time for Christmas! Sometimes the universe throws you a curve ball just before a big life transition. Keep your head up and move forward - you’re on the right path! Tune in for a hilarious tale of making your way home, no matter what the universe has up its sleeve. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
