Ep.55 Stop Running from Everything

Humans have a body part that makes us feel privileged, but more often than not, it makes it too easy to avoid things. Plants, not having these same appendages, want us to stop running away!

In this episode, I share insights from Biomimicry and Ecosystem Thinking that create a more inclusive and dynamic environment, even in your own mind. Recognizing the cyclical nature of change and the interconnectedness of our actions encourages us to adapt and evolve continuously.

This mindset fosters a culture of collaboration and innovation, where differences are not just accepted but celebrated as a source of strength and creativity. By integrating diversity into our strategies, we can achieve results that are not only successful but also sustainable and resilient in the face of change.

Topics Covered about how to stop running

  • Leverage interconnectedness and interdependencies in personal evolution and leadership by finding opportunities for mutually beneficial partnerships.
  • Incorporate Diversity by drawing on different passions and skillsets throughout projects and deep listening.
  • Get to know natural cycles and rhythms, and leverage them by planning activities and workflows accordingly
  • Look for opportunities to “recycle all materials” by finding value in diverse perspectives and repackaging ideas in new contexts.

TRANSCRIPT OF STOP RUNNING AWAY FROM EVERYTHING

Welcome to ReConnect with Plant Wisdom. I am your host, Tigrilla Gardenia, Nature-Inspired Mentor and Leadership Coach. In this podcast, I share ancient and modern knowledge, from biology to spirituality, about the wondrous ways plants can help you lead a Naturally Conscious Life.

Hello, Hello! Everyone. Welcome back to Episode 55 of reconnect with plant.

It’s me. Tigrilla Gardenia. And today I want to talk to you about well, practically stop running away from everything. Yep, that’s it. That’s that’s that’s today’s topic, stop running away from everything I wanna talk to you specifically about lessons that the plants give us are and how to really deal with whatever it is that life hands you. I am kind of I I decided to use a study aid for this this episode, so I pulled out my biomimicry leadership cards. These are leadership cards that are based on life’s principles. Now, you’ve heard me probably talk about biomimicry.

So what is biomimicry. Biomimicry is a nature inspired design strategy. It is a oh, actually, this one here has a little chart.

I didn’t even remember that of what our life’s principles. So basically, biomimicry is a nature inspired way to design, either from biology to product or service. or from product or service to biology. So and what does that mean? That means that it’s by looking to nature that we can find. How is it that nature does the thing that we’re trying to accomplish, and then find an approach by using different organisms in nature, looking at different processes in nature, and bringing those together to create what we want in this way, specifically with a biomimic approach different than some other forms of bio-inspired type of design strategies is that biomimetic biomimicry really looks at the ethos.

Am I creating as nature would create? Am I creating something that nature would even create? Because sometimes the most important question to ask ourselves is just because we can, should. We don’t ask ourselves that question enough, especially in the scientific world and in some of the innovation worlds. But a biomimetic approach would ask that would nature even create that? Because if it’s outside of the canons of what is conducive to life, so the whole premise is. And if you heard me in the last episode I was talking about, why I changed my title to life. Coaching this in principle. There is a big part of it that is connected to my biomimetic background. Because in biomimicry we’re always looking to create the conditions conducive to life. How do we allow life to flourish? And that’s really what I want to do for you as an individual.

So this episode is to take a lesson on from plants, on how to just stop running away. As we know. humans have these things that we think of as a huge advantage. But the more I get into the plant mine the more I realize that this is kind of become the crux that we use for all our problems. They’re called legs, like, we have a tendency to run away from everything. We we don’t even realize we’re doing it like as human beings. We’re so ingrained with the idea that I can run away. I can walk away from a problem. I can run away that I I oftentimes rely on that rather than learning how to deal with it. Now, mind you, dealing with it doesn’t always mean changing it.

Sometimes dealing with it means adapting.

Sometimes it means forcing change. Sometimes it also means just coexisting, and I think that we think of running away. As like this, coexistence doesn’t isn’t possible. So I have to like avoid it. And and really it is true that nature does like plants do avoid certain things, but it’s in a very different way from running away. And it’s it’s a choice, because it’s a slow process, so you can’t just sort of throw your hands up in the air and be like. No.

oh, I don’t want to deal with that at all.

Wait. So in biomimicry we really look to? How would nature move water? How does nature create shelter? How does nature teach

so whether you’re looking at how does nature stay together. How does nature create glue? All of these are questions that we tend to look at from a very kind of engineering perspective, and Nature has done it in really elegant ways, usually with very little ingredients and super simple rules. So when we have any kind of situation rather than thinking about running away or trying to use a human approach. Sometimes it’s nice to stop kind of quiet down in in biomimicry. We use a lot. The term quiet down your cleverness and start to look at what’s called life’s principles.

Now, life’s principles going to read to you the definition because it’s actually on this little card. Life’s principles are operating guidelines from nature, representing the overarching patterns found amongst the species surviving and thriving on earth.

By learning from these deep design lessons we can model Nature’s innovative strategies, measure our designs against sustainable benchmarks and be mentored using life’s principles as our aspirational ideals throughout our leadership. We can to create conditions conducive to life. So I pulled out a few cards.

Because I wanted to use these as examples of how we can stop running away from our problems and stop running away really from everything. And how is it that a plant? So I pulled out some plant examples of how would a plant deal with things. Now, remember, plants are sessile. That means rooted in place connected deeply to the place. So one of the first things that is different between us as humans

and plants is the fact that plants are connected to their place. That means that not only are they physically located there, but they have created like can create their existence based on what that place affords us. And that’s really one of the things that we don’t do very well right. One of the first cards I pulled out today was interconnected and interdependent, and in reconnect with the plant kingdom, which is one of the courses that I offer inside of the naturally conscious community. In the blooming Sprouts membership

I have an entire module connected to interdependent and interrelated, and the idea that I’m also independent while I am interrelated. Because I think we, as humans, have this idea of this desire of us to be

fiercely independent, and while independence does have its advantages. In certain aspects it is important for us to recognize that we are always interdependent, because we ourselves, as even as human beings, are made up of many different parts.

and we need what is around us in order to survive. So one of the first things to help us not run away from everything is to truly understand our place

and place can be physical in the sense of like my physical space that I live in, not just, and that can be concentric circles coming out at different levels. So what is my place in the sense of my home? What is the city that I live in? What does it afford me? What does the country afford me? You can go from a physical location many different directions.

but the more I understand what is, what are the the rules, the customs, the understandings, the traditions, all these different pieces. That doesn’t mean I have to follow all of them. But if I am connected to them. And I understand that I’ve made a choice to live in this particular place, because different than plants

where moving takes generation after generation after generation. We can do it pretty easily as human beings. So if I’m going to be living here, then I really want to understand. What is it that this place affords me.

and the other thing is to remember that all organisms on the planet that includes myself, and you know the the person that’s bothering me the most in this particular moment. We all still have to coexist here. Right? So in this example. Here, they said, coexist, all organisms coexist, but some have perfected an interconnected and interdependent relationship like no other lichen.

Does everybody know what lichen is? I love lichen. Lichen is one of my favorite organisms, so lichen you see, all over the place. You probably think it’s some kind of moss. In some cases

you might think it’s some kind of like mold, but lichen is an organism. All is itself, and and key is usually has colors like browns and and yellows and greens, and is very flat to the touch, and is an amazing indicator of good air quality. So you don’t see like in that much in so many city environments. But you do see, when you go a little bit out into the outskirts, because

liken tends to be be in places where there is good air quality.

So lichen are a symbiosis of fungi and algae that are so intertwined that they often assume to be one organism, and so lichen is a great example of the fact that lichen, in order to be able to survive right in order. For you have these

algae that can photosynthesize. So producing food from sunlight. And you have, instead all of these other fungi that have many different principles specifically around being able to break down nutrients and being able to recycle other kinds of nutrients. And so what happened is that these 3, in reality

it’s too fungi and an algae, they discovered. And so these came together to create one new organism. And so this is one of the ways that you can stop running from, from things that you are avoiding, which is recognizing. Where is it that instead, I can create cooperation. Where is it that I can instead merge in order to be? Now I am still independent. We can still identify what are the

individual algae and fungi that are within a lichen. But we still see lichen as an individual, as an individual being also. So it’s this multi level perspective. And so this is one of the major benefits that we could, when we create partnerships that have mutually beneficial relationships that allow us to understand.

Where is it that I can be me. And where is it instead that I am related to everything else? There’s an amazing article that I reference in reconnect with the plant wisdom that talks about this from the conditions of individual trees in a forest, and the fact that no 2 trees are really the same, even if they came from the same seed pod, in the sense of, you know, even 2 oak trees that came from the same technically parents and grew up in the exact same location, one right next to another are 2 individuals. And we see this in humans, also with twins. Right? We have twins who have the same DNA, and yet each one is very different and different aspects of those Dnas are turned on and off. And so one of the ways for us to recognize is that before we think about running away from something, we might ask ourselves.

what would nature do to partner with this particular thing? How would it that I could leverage

this an interconnectedness with this other situation. Person being any of these types of things? What would partnership look like before? I just assume that it’s either competition or pushing away. Right? So this is, this is one of the ways that nature would look at. How is it that I create a partnership.

Let’s go to another one right another. One of these cards, says 2

incorporate diversity. So in this example is Alpine wildflowers bloom at different times in the season, the greater the diversity of species. In a meadow, the higher the chance of passing pollinators will find life-sustaining nectar throughout the summer.

So this is a great example of what leads no leads is not

one of my guiding principles around multi-potential itism, right having lots and lots of passions from a human perspective get seen oftentimes as if you’re scattered as if you’re kind of lost in the air, or like you just jump from thing to thing to thing where, instead incorporating these different passions into the way that you do things could have multiple.

I just made up a word. And I don’t even think

multiplying effects. That’s the word. I’m looking for multiplying effects. So if, instead of looking at your passions as all these different talents, things you like to do, everybody uses different terminology in it, but ultimately are the multiple kinds of different aspects of your life.

If, instead of looking at them as competing for time, you were instead to incorporate them into your design. Right? So whatever it is, and whatever type of project I’m looking at rather than just using one aspect of yourself.

What would it look like if, over the course of that development, whether we’re talking about my own personal personality, development, my self development, or whether I’m looking at a project that I’m working on for myself, a creative project or a project I’m looking at for work. What if, instead, I used different aspects of myself throughout the process.

So, rather than running away from things that are difficult for me, what if, instead, I use different talents? I’ll give you an example. Let’s assume that you’re working on a project.

Actually, I’m gonna use an example that’s been coming up for a lot of my clients. It’s tax season. Right now. A lot of my clients are doing taxes, and of course, because many of my clients are creatives. They do not like the idea of taxes. So what do they do? They have avoided their finances and dealing with their finances for a long period of time.

So I was working with one of my clients, and we were talking about this, and of course, when she sat down to do her taxes, she was trying to focus on it from a very rigid perspective of like number, crunching type of aspects.

So we went through an exercise to better understand her different passions. She is an art therapist. She has many different creative skills. She is somebody who likes to explore new concepts. She has many different personalities within her. So we started to list out some of these different personalities, and we started to look through them and see which personalities

are there any personalities that like numbers which we discovered that there weren’t any. So that explained why she kept avoiding the idea of

number, crunching of the taxes and all that type of aspects. But she had had a history and a period in her life where she did work with kind of planning and and connecting to finances and stuff like that. So we were trying to figure out, well, how did that happen? How did that work in her? And as we were listing through we started to find that there was a few personalities, one in particular that really enjoyed

the intricacies of the details of like solving problems with by getting into the details right? This was an aspect of herself. So if you’re thinking about it from the perspective of a plant, right, I’m in an ecosystem, and I have a whole series of different things I can do for that ecosystem. Now, when the ecosystem has lots of water, or maybe the ideal conditions, I act in a specific way. So I get understood to be that kind of way. But

in times of droughts, or in times when maybe the sun has been shaded because another tree came upon, I have the opportunity to turn on other aspects of myself. The plant has the ability to modify what are the abilities that I have within me that are inside of my genotype. And then I can express them differently based on what’s happening. So we see a lot of conditions and a lot of

ways behavior from plants change based on drought conditions, or on sunlight and things of that nature. So that’s what we did. We went back to look at a time in her life where she had done this, and we discovered that it wasn’t for love of number crunching. It was for love of of problem solving.

So we approached it from a diverse perspective, so, rather than sort of forcing her way and going through the Shoulds, we ended up expanding into. I am a multi-passionate person, and I started to look at all my passions, asking which one of these passions could fit in, and the passion that she has

for solving problems like in really detailed ways, allowed her to look at her finances with a completely new optic, not so much in the case of numbers or straight up organizational skills or other kinds of things, but to look at it more as the superfund treasure hunt

of how do I solve for something’s particular? And this made it exciting. This made it fun. Now, all of a sudden she could work on that and look at it from a different optics. So, rather than running away from our problems, or, worse, trying to like force it incorporate diversity. Ask yourself.

what are the aspects of myself? What are my different passions? What are the different personalities that I have within me.

and then look to see who could solve for this? So, as these wildflowers bloom in different aspects, I, too, can allow my talents to bloom throughout a project. I don’t have to always use the same skill set. There are gonna be times when I’m gonna use my my networking passions and talents in one moment. There’s gonna be another time when I’m gonna use more of my creative problem solving perspectives. There are other times where I might just go off and design something and paint it, or draw it, or write about it

throughout the course of a project. Don’t think that when you run into a problem, you’re supposed to try to solve it with the exact same problem space, the idea, the same kind of logic that you use to get yourself into it. Think about what are my complete range of passions and talents, even something you might have done like in her case when she was way younger, that you might be able to say, Oh, wait! Is that part of me still there? And can I pull that in.

All right, let’s go with. Let’s go with at least one more so. I like this one. This one is leverage cyclic processes. So all habitats of the world undergo seasonal changes in moisture, temperature, or both, rather than fight against these changes. Life in each habitat leverages the cyclic cyclical. No cyclic processes to its advantage.

Now, the reason I like this one is because I think it fits in really nicely with what we were just talking about relating to incorporating diversity, leveraging cyclic processes means understanding that for every single aspect of myself there is a season for that aspect, and some of these seasons rotate through throughout the year. So getting to know myself really knowing thyself, you know the the whole esoteric mystery school adage of Know thyself

is really important in this, because then I start to see patterns that emerge. When is it that I do certain things much better in the summer versus when I do things in the winter. For example, I have planned my business, all of my planning and aspects. By the fall I start to take in

what I’ve accomplished, so, rather than doing my kind of end of year planning in just the wintertime, or like around the New Year, I actually start to gather up information about what’s working and not working throughout the fall, because from a plant perspective, the fall, especially with deciduous trees, is the time when I start to pull back in nutrients in order to prepare for the winter. Now, I don’t analyze any of that. In the fall season.

In the fall season. What I do is start to pull back, and I start to look at my various projects, and I start to organize them, to say, what are the lessons learned? What is it that I can. What is it that I can look at? And right now and adjust?

I’m trying to get an understanding of? What are the things that I’m going to keep? Because what are the things that have been productive for me? What are the lessons that I learned? What are the things that I can let go of. And I’m gonna start to collect those in. So it’s a data gathering. I take some time to really gather up data because it is in the wintertime.

when I start to process through that data. So by the wintertime I am not producing any new projects. I’m not starting up anywhere new.

I am more likely creating my strategic planning in that winter process, so that by the apagomenal days, by the time around the beginning of the year I already have a good concept of what it is that I’m going to be thinking about for the coming year. So I’ve gathered up my information in the process of fall. I have gathered up my wins. I’ve gathered up my lessons, learned.

I’ve looked at things that are not working. I have not analyzed any of them. I’m gathering up information as objectively as possible. I’m gathering up what felt good. I’m looking at. What are my experiences? Who are my new partners. I am taking time to assess to bring in all of that information and giving space

for things that don’t serve me to just sort of fall away, because that’s really what happens with a leaf right? A leaf. The reason we see all these beautiful colors on a deciduous tree when the leaves start to change colors is because the tree is pulling back in all useful nutrients.

and is leaving behind these other forms of nutrients that are not going to serve during the winter months, and those are the ones that have those beautiful reds and those yellows. These are all different kinds of

signatures that the plant has that are not going to be useful. So in this particular case, you have the opportunity to pull all that in, and then in the in this winter is when I evaluate it, I look through it, I use it, I map it out. I strategically think about what is because I am no longer producing. I’m not capable of producing during the winter months, especially when I live in cold climates, and then by the springtime I’m able to start testing

out my theories. I have my strategies that I’ve put in place, and then I start testing out my theories. And then by the summertime I’m in full swing with whatever it is that I decided I was going to do so. This is leveraging a cyclical process. You can also do this on a monthly perspective, right? What are if you think about it, and you start to pay attention to your body. If you start to pay attention to the people around you, to what are the rhythms that naturally

on a monthly perspective, on a weekly perspective? When you start to really take notice of your natural cycles, my mood, my productivity levels, the people around me. How do I interact with them? What are the moments that I actually want to stay by myself? And I don’t really want to interact with others? When is it that instead, I actually want to be very out there and in the public?

How does information flow with me? What are my clients? Are my customers doing when I start looking at all these aspects? I don’t have to run from these problems because I’m trying to do them in the wrong cycle. I can now see. When is that rhythm? And I can then leverage that rhythm to my advantage?

I can plan around it, because again I am rooted. If I think of myself as rooted, I cannot change some of these cycles around me, therefore it’s better for me to work with them rather than fighting against them.

You see how that works. So in the first one we were talking about that you’re interconnected and interdependent, and that means that I am going to be kind of subjected to these cycles from within my own body, because I’m an interconnected being, but also from within the environment in which I live in. If this is a month for a lot of holidays, and I know that every year there’s a certain amount of holidays.

It is useless for me to try to build myself up a program where I have to give an intense amount of time to something, or if I know that naturally I am much more creative. I don’t know around the full moon.

Then I wouldn’t build myself time for creative projects during the new moon. You understand how this leveraging we don’t listen to our bodies enough, and that’s a very different thing when we recognize that we are nature. I don’t have to run from my body or push my body. I can actually allow my body to be a part of the process, and to guide the different steps that I’m going to make.

I hope I hope that was clear. I’m gonna give you one more trying to think of which one, because I actually have 2 cards in my hand. And I’m like, which one do I want to? Well, I’m gonna I’m gonna use this one because I really like this one. This is recycle all materials. This, says immature one, organism’s waste is another’s food.

The ecosystem recycles all materials, creating a highly efficient and regenerative environment in which nutrient flows circulate continuously throughout the system.

Now, this is one of those pieces that is very subtle from a human perspective, because we have a tendency to want to like throw things out. We have a tendency to run away from certain things and look at it as wasteful or bad, or it’s done, or any of those types of things.

But the natural world operates in circularity. Right? So always, these circles that are constantly going. So there’s a lot of aspects around us, including even what we might consider to be.

quote unquote negative energies or difficult situations, that in reality, if we were to take them as a recycling of all what is coming out of it. You could find really amazing things. For example, I was in a

meeting. I’m actually in a group.

And in this group there is one person who has a logic that is completely different than my own right completely different. And I love it because at first, when she would speak, it was very easy for me to go down the path that my! I used to have a boss that used to talk about something he called the Bozo bit

the Bozo bit was when you had somebody. This was in a corporate setting, and he would say, When you flip the Bozo bit. It’s that person that is constantly saying something that to you is absurd. It’s either because it’s like so far off base, because it’s so wrong because it’s like so inappropriate, or whatever whatever. There’s all these reasons. And so when he would flip the Bozo bit, he would stop listening to this person

that was his. That was his default. I flipped the Bozo bit. I stopped listening to this person

and I it took me. I used to love this like I used to think it was really funny to flip the Bozo bit and like, have people that you would be like, oh, it’s just them. It’s just them.

No, because if you go down the principle of recycle all materials.

you realize how precious these people are. So this other person I was telling you about in the group every time that she would speak, I would at first want to be like, oh, my goodness, what is she going to say.

Then I realized, what if I took that? What she was saying as output, right as a waste product that I had to recycle? How would I recycle it, and rather than avoiding her, or avoiding telling her things or avoiding, you know, because I did, I have to admit, like I admit there was a little inkling of me of when she would say, Oh, I can’t make it to a meeting. I’d be like yes, the perfect time for the meeting.

But when, instead, I thought about her as putting out what was to me a waste product, right? Because I didn’t think I could use it.

I thought of it as a waste. So, and I stopped avoiding her, and instead leaned in. I would listen to what she said, and I would say like what could be useful from what she’s saying?

Can I tell you? It opened up an entire world

like, I am not saying I love everything that she says, what I am trying to say to you is that there is some nuggets of wisdom in there that are of a completely different logic, and sometimes they weren’t even for the project that we were currently working on right? Because recycling all of these materials doesn’t necessarily mean it goes into what we were doing so. Yeah, sometimes it was inappropriate or not useful to the project that we were working on. But if, instead, I looked at it from the greater ecosystem perspective and what we were trying to build overall.

I found so many nuggets that I would have never gotten to so many pieces of alternative logic and wisdom, and the idea that, like there is just so much out there that I wouldn’t have thought of, and by listening to her, who has, you know different, completely different way of thinking and different culture, and like different background than I do, I was able to

pick up these pieces and then drop them into other situations, so almost like becoming a decomposer, and said, instead of trying to see what she was presenting as a whole, like, I would listen to it as a whole, and see if it fit into the project we were working in.

And then, if I couldn’t find it as a whole, as the way she was presenting it, I started to deconstruct it and be like, Okay, what are the elements that she’s pulling from? Because they’re obviously a logic that I wouldn’t have ever come to. And where could this be useful? Right, if if the natural world uses everything because it has to go somewhere? Let me just say this, ecosystems don’t have a dump like we as humans just think about. I’m gonna take something to the dump.

I’m going to get rid of it right? I’m going to run away from it by getting rid of it.

Plants don’t do that. They can’t. Somebody in the ecosystem has to take it and do something with it. Otherwise you know what. They’re going to pile up a little dump in the corner of the forest. It doesn’t work that way.

So I started to think of myself in that way, like, if I am going to recycle all of the materials, how do I take what this person was saying, and decompose it into parts, and then figure out, now, that doesn’t mean I used everything. But

I learned so much from this person, not only that it made it so much more enjoyable, because where, instead, by flipping the Bozo bit, I would be like, Oh, why is this person talking? And then it would put you into a bad mood, and it would do all these other things instead.

by listening and decomposing it, or, you know, deconstructing it. I could then find all the places that were useful. and it completely changed my way.

So I bring these forward to you as just 4 of there’s so many more life’s principles has so many more, but these are 4 really great ones.

the first one we talked about, interconnected and interdependent. Remember, we can do so much when we work together, and when we recognize that everything around us affects us in some way rather than trying to avoid that, it’s much better to embrace it and to see what comes of it. That doesn’t mean all of it is going to be useful. There are times where you’re going to have to learn how to

move it out of the way, deflect it, you know, and such. But by allowing myself to be interconnected, I might actually create some amazing partnerships that allow me to be much more than the sum of my parts

incorporating diversity. You are a multi-potential aid. You have so much diversity. I’m not even talking about external diversity like we could talk about teams and projects and all kinds of stuff. Let’s just talk about your own personal, multi-potential itself, your multi-passion itself.

This diversity exists for a reason, and not all of your talents are going to be used at all times. So throughout the course of whatever it is that you’re working on. Give yourself the ability to incorporate that diversity pull from different combinations, change from one in the other, based on what is most useful to you.

Leverage cyclical processes get to know your rhythms and the rhythms of the places around you are the things you interact with the most.

When are the times that you are most excited? When are the times that you’re much more introspective? What are the moments when your creativity comes. Understand? When is the time that there’s more availability from people or resources, or such? When we start to leverage the cyclical nature of humanity, of nature itself.

Nature, as key is always changing and moving. But there’s a rhythm to many of these things, and when I start to get to know that rhythm, the rhythm of my own body, the rhythm of my environment around me, the rhythm of the projects that I’m involved with.

I bet you there’s going to be times where you thought you would be running away, when, instead, you’re running towards now so definitely a great one there, and the last one is recycle all materials. Don’t assume that there is anything that’s just a waste product that doesn’t get addressed. In some ways

everything has a use. When you figure out what that appropriate use is. So give yourself permission to. If something doesn’t work for you the way it’s coming at you directly. Give yourself to permission to say, where could this be useful? Don’t ask if it’s useful. It’s a normal question that we ask ourselves. But ask yourself more, where could this be useful?

And I guarantee that if you just incorporate these 4 little things, you will stop running away from everything.

What do you think?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this conversation. Is it? Change the way that you think about things? As some of these questions ask.

where could you leverage interconnectedness and interdependencies?

How can your personal evolution, your personal leadership, incorporate diversity, increasing success in a variety of conditions?

How could you leverage predictable cycles?

How could you lead others to recycle all the materials and optimal resources, physical as well as intellectual, like. These were just some of the thoughts that I would love to hear from you about. You can leave me a comment. You can send me a message, or ideally, you would come into the naturally conscious community and have this conversation with us.

And so remember also, if you’re here to like subscribe. Oh, and before I leave you, I want to leave you with one of our ecoconscious business partners, because I feel like they’re going to give you

something you need in order to ensure that you can best apply all of this material

any little bit we can do to help the environment is a win in my book. That’s why I’m such a fan of who gives a crap, a be certified company that donates 50% of profits to ensure. Everyone has access to clean water and a toilet within our lifetime.

Not all of us have access to a big day. So if you have to wipe your bum with something, this is the best toilet paper to choose.

They wrap their Tp in paper, not plastic, which saves tons of harmful plastic from ending up in our landfills or hurting animals, and get this one box of Tp. Can last up to a whole year. Trust me, I’ve tried this with my own family.

They have 2 echo-friendly options, one made out of recycled sheets.

and other from bamboo sheets, which is super fast growing alternative to trees.

They’re soft and strong and really hold up.

Who gives a crap, delivers to your door and offers a hundred percent money back. Guarantee

you can’t beat back. So click on the link in the show notes to give it a go.

All right. That’s it. That’s it for me, Tigrilla Gardenia. I look forward to hearing from you, and we will talk again in the next episode of reconnect with plant wisdom.
