How was your week? Mine was quite lovely, thank you for asking.😄
Have you seen the latest episode of ReConnect with Plant Wisdom podcast, featuring the inspiring Amanda Nicole? IT IS SO GOOD!
In ep.69 Daughter of Tulip Poplar, Amanda delves into her unique bond with this tree being. It is so strong, she refers to ki as her parent. Over the past decade, this tree has guided her spiritual transformation and enriched her self-discovery journey.
Amanda told me all about how her relationship with Tulip Poplar has led her down unexpected, sometimes jarring, understandings about her own family. This bond illustrates the profound impact a long-term relationship with a plant can have on personal evolution.
The discovery that plants can provide insights beyond personal matters, touching on questions of politics, environmental policy, and city development, changed her way of approaching others. Her story encourages us to broaden our perspective by having the courage to bring the plants around us into the conversation—especially when kin have to live with the consequences.
👉For a glimpse into this fascinating conversation, click below to watch a short video of me responding to Amanda’s revelations.
Plants simultaneously create and are environment, although we often forget this in our human exceptionalism. By asking plants important questions, we gain new perspectives that can guide more uniting action. This broader understanding allows us to build and maintain shared spaces in harmony with all the beings that will inhabit it, not just humans.

Unexpected Arrival of Purslane
A few years back—in a particularly needy moment—I noticed Purlane had spontaneously started growing in one of the planters on my balcony. It took me a minute to realize this Spirit Wild Plant’s message, but when I did, so many things clicked into place. This year, Purslane has returned, and although the message is different, it is no less poignent. Do you have Wild Plant guides that arrives just when you need kin most?
