Ep.90 Trust, Critique, & Flow—What Plants and 2024 Taught Me

1

00:00:01.740 –> 00:00:09.809

Hello, Hello, everyone! Welcome back to another episode of reconnect with plant wisdom. It’s me, Tigrilla Gardenia.

2

00:00:10.240 –> 00:00:28.750

Oh, my goodness, welcome to 2025. This is actually not the 1st episode in 2025. But it’s the 1st episode I’m recording in 2025, because the 1st episode I actually recorded right before the end of the year, and it was an awesome one. Loved that conversation with Kiki.

3

00:00:29.160 –> 00:00:41.039

So this year I was thinking, I have a whole series of episodes planned for the podcast very, very excited to continue to build on what we have built in the last year.

4

00:00:41.130 –> 00:00:48.849

and especially because 2024 for me was really a year of profound growth and evolution.

5

00:00:49.080 –> 00:01:15.710

both professionally as well as personally. You know, at the end of the year you do your whole. What is your word? Type of thing? And last year I chose trust as my guiding word. It was something I wanted to build on, both internally to myself, to to kind of recreate a relationship that I felt that I had lost pieces of, especially in certain environments.

6

00:01:15.740 –> 00:01:34.069

and then also trust, from an external perspective of being able to step back into certain types of situations, especially at Dominhur, where I live, where I wasn’t 100% sure how I was going to manage and what the relationship would look like, and what were the elements that I could trust?

7

00:01:34.120 –> 00:01:51.179

Not so much about trusting the people because it’s it’s dumb. And her, I mean, I live in one of the largest spiritual communities in the world. So it’s not about trusting the people in and of themselves. It’s about trusting the process, a process that is very different, maybe, from the way that my mind traditionally works. And so, therefore

8

00:01:51.700 –> 00:02:05.689

I kind of you know there was a lot of elements that I wanted to trust. So that’s why I chose that as my work, and it in the end unlocked a level of self-awareness and self acceptance

9

00:02:05.780 –> 00:02:35.280

and connection that I could have never predicted. When I sat down to create my word. And we’re going to talk more about that. So through the lens of both plant wisdom, you know everything. I worked on so much, and my relationships with plants, and also my observations, deep, deep observations from plants, and also looking at the dynamic relationships in ecosystems to guide the way that I relate, and the way that I see

10

00:02:35.430 –> 00:02:54.239

or experience maybe not see is not the right word more of experience certain types of situations. And this really helped me redefine how I approach challenges how I look at creativity, and probably most importantly, my relationship with rest.

11

00:02:54.640 –> 00:03:00.740

Because if there’s something I discovered in 2024, it was that rest.

12

00:03:00.780 –> 00:03:15.259

and peace is a very big part of who I am today, where maybe when I was younger it wasn’t. But to this year, this year, from now on it is. And so in this reflection episode, I want to share

13

00:03:15.260 –> 00:03:31.069

how embracing my inner critic has really revolutionized my life, the different lessons that the plants have taught me about trust and flow, and how the naturally conscious community is becoming this thriving hub of support and growth.

14

00:03:31.310 –> 00:03:55.659

plus, I want to introduce to you a new plant ally that I’m working with, and my personal mantra that I plan to use to guide me in 2025. So there’s really so much to talk about. I can’t wait to get into this episode with you. And so with that, let’s start episode 90, trust critique and flow. What plants! And 2024 taught me.

15

00:03:55.770 –> 00:04:09.279

Welcome to reconnect with plant wisdom. I’m your host, Tigrilla Gardenia. Nature inspired mentor, certified life coach, and the founder of the naturally conscious community. For over a decade I’ve been known as a world ambassador for plant advocacy.

16

00:04:09.610 –> 00:04:24.450

working closely with plants to share their practical wisdom to help you consciously embody the elements of life that nourish your evolution. In this podcast I delve into ancient and modern knowledge, from biology to spirituality, about the wondrous ways of plants.

17

00:04:24.570 –> 00:04:45.140

Together we’ll explore how ecosystem thinking helps you overcome limiting beliefs, understand the true nature of relationships and live an authentic, impactful life all right for those of you that are watching in the video. You might have noticed that I got a haircut, a pretty extreme haircut for me in the sense that I went back to layers.

18

00:04:45.140 –> 00:05:04.079

I’m not going to get into it in this episode, but if you are curious, I have been on a almost now 3 year journey to regain my curls. I actually had somebody yesterday who was touching my hair as I was as we were talking, and she and I made a comment about my hair, and I was telling her how I just gotten a new like

19

00:05:04.140 –> 00:05:23.250

Razzle Dazzle curly hair, you know, haircut. And she was like, Wait a minute. These are your natural curls. And I’m like, Yeah, I’ve spent 3 years trying to get back my natural curls. There’s nothing unnatural about this. This is just straight up curl, and some really good styling techniques and a fantastic haircut. So

20

00:05:23.520 –> 00:05:38.909

I have to give big big shout outs to Oficina Richo, which is a curly hair specialist salon in Turin, which has been instrumental in starting this whole process in relation to the cutting part.

21

00:05:38.970 –> 00:05:51.300

and I have to give another big shout out to the curl whisperer in Miami, where I just recently got the last haircut, and these 2 salons make me so happy to be in places that know how to deal with curls. Anyways.

22

00:05:51.300 –> 00:06:20.050

that’s just an aside. If you are curious about my curly hair journey, and you want to learn more about that kind of stuff. Please let me know. I’ve never tried to make any videos or anything about it, but I’m totally willing to share, because I just love curly hair, and I love the fact that I’m a curly, and I just want everybody else who has curly hair to be able to love their hair as much as I do. All right. So getting back into this episode, what we’re going to talk about today is really about personal evolution in 2024,

23

00:06:20.430 –> 00:06:23.610

the impact of community on multiple levels

24

00:06:23.800 –> 00:06:47.870

and maybe end up with some guidance for 2025. By the end of this episode. I really want you to feel empowered to trust yourself more deeply to seek critique, especially as a tool for growth rather than a roadblock and embrace the natural rhythms of rest and flow. These are 2 humongous words that have just naturally and organically developed into my vocabulary with a

25

00:06:49.360 –> 00:07:13.900

oh, wisdom of that, anyway! There’s so much I want to tell you about. My goal for you is to walk away with insights that are inspired not just by plants, but nature in general to help you navigate personal and professional life with more ease and authenticity. Because, isn’t that what we’re looking for? But before we get into the details, I need to take a short break to share with you one of my ego conscious business partners.

31

00:08:37.890 –> 00:09:02.069

Okay, so now let’s get into this whole personal evolution. I don’t know if you remember, but I did an episode where I told you about how I came to the title of Certified Life Coach, which was not an easy decision for me, and one of the titles that I had for myself other than nature inspired. Mentor has always been there, because that focus from the plants and that wisdom that comes and sharing that has always been a part of my business since

32

00:09:02.070 –> 00:09:25.230

I started working in this world and working more closely with plants, but the other part, the coachy part. Once I got my certification from the Icf. I couldn’t really decide what to use, and for a while it was personal evolution coach, and as much as I still love that title, it’s a little wordier, and life coach is just so much easier, especially because I do

33

00:09:25.280 –> 00:09:47.980

work with all aspects of life. I love that my clients feel like they could bring everything, especially because I work with, you know, neurodivergent creative multipotentialites, that all see the world in these unusual ways, which is what I love. Alternative thinkers. I love it, love it, and I really provide that

34

00:09:48.070 –> 00:09:52.800

that safe space for any aspect of your life to be held.

35

00:09:53.110 –> 00:09:59.040

But in order to do this, I needed my own self to make sure that I could trust

36

00:09:59.250 –> 00:10:11.069

who I am, who I am becoming, what I’ve become, what I have accomplished. How have I integrated all these parts of myself, and really trusting myself without any level of censorship?

37

00:10:11.150 –> 00:10:30.029

And so one of the things that I focused on when I said the word trust, as the word I wanted for 2024 was about trusting my raw emotions. Just last night I was having a really fantastic conversation with a very good friend of mine who was sharing with me a realization she’s had about her life.

38

00:10:30.320 –> 00:10:53.309

and about 2 days before that I had shared a big sort of realization or understanding that I had come to. And in this conversation what both of us who are lifelong learners, we’ve been friends for a very long time. Always are people who are working on ourselves and integrating new wisdom and knowledge, and especially esoteric knowledge, and so many different pieces.

39

00:10:53.340 –> 00:11:04.019

and what we realized is that both of us have reached a level of how do I say this? Where what is most important is to trust your feelings

40

00:11:04.400 –> 00:11:21.759

without trying to categorize them. In other words, the ability for those to just come out to be expressed in a safe space to allow yourself to be okay with neurotic little ideas that come and go.

41

00:11:21.760 –> 00:11:39.169

thoughts that run around in circles, starting projects and ending projects, in other words, rather than trying to fix things or fix yourself 2024, especially for me, was a year of profound, deep acceptance, because, going back to the word trust.

42

00:11:39.230 –> 00:11:40.929

I trust

43

00:11:41.050 –> 00:12:08.040

fully that all of this is important for my growth. In other words, rather than trying to say something is wrong with me, and I need to change things or or looking at anybody outside of myself, whether we’re talking about my clients, or you know the fellow initiates that I work with, instead of looking at people and myself as, Oh, you do this thing. This is something that must change about you. It’s more of okay. This is this thing you do.

44

00:12:08.340 –> 00:12:26.080

Or, more importantly, this is how you are. If I trust that you came into this world with that. For some reason, then, or that you’ve had this experience. For some reason the question is, then, what are you supposed to do with it? Where does it fit into my life?

45

00:12:26.080 –> 00:12:43.940

How does it fit? And exploration, exploring all of that, and allowing even things that seemed ugly or scary, or things that we would traditionally like to get rid of, and allowing myself to sit with that. That’s why I said. Peace

46

00:12:43.950 –> 00:12:46.420

followed trust very, very quickly.

47

00:12:46.690 –> 00:12:54.880

just really gave me a broad vision of myself that I had not seen before.

48

00:12:55.220 –> 00:13:14.219

And in this bubbling to the surface came out. I started to do a bunch of work with personalities. As you’ve heard in the podcast because it was part of episodes, you know, recent episodes where I was talking about personalities. And I was looking at it from the perspective of an ecosystem and trying to understand. Okay, if all of these personalities have a purpose.

49

00:13:14.370 –> 00:13:16.039

what could be their purpose like?

50

00:13:16.600 –> 00:13:34.049

Why are they here? What are they here? And if I just trust into that. I don’t even have to ask the question. I just have to say, Okay, it’s more about learning how to work with them rather than trying to change anything about them. And that’s where I discovered my dominant personality.

51

00:13:34.530 –> 00:13:35.879

which is the critic

52

00:13:36.420 –> 00:13:51.560

and the critic has been my dominant personality. I mean, I’ve known that the critic is my dominant personality. By the way, I’m not talking about the inner critic because the inner critic is slightly different. The inner critic is more about.

53

00:13:51.910 –> 00:13:59.860

you know, criticizing yourself, and mine is the critic which is, I criticize everybody else and everything else.

54

00:14:00.070 –> 00:14:01.020

But

55

00:14:01.830 –> 00:14:20.120

where I had looked at it as I criticize everybody else in the past, and it was always something I wanted to change about myself. I talk about this in befriend your limiting beliefs. When I do that, webinar, I talk really deep about it. I talk about it in a few other areas about trying to understand this critic.

56

00:14:20.620 –> 00:14:27.159

When I started to as befriend your limiting beliefs really get into a relationship with the critic.

57

00:14:27.430 –> 00:14:45.740

I found that the critic is a powerful powerful ally that I just didn’t know how to work with. I kept looking at the critic in such a negative way in a sense of the destructive tendencies, but I never thought that destruction could be useful

58

00:14:45.950 –> 00:14:50.440

when done at the right time, and in the right measure. So

59

00:14:50.560 –> 00:14:59.770

exploring this trust, falling into the deep, deep trust that if this critic kept coming out the critic had a purpose.

60

00:14:59.940 –> 00:15:17.460

then all of a sudden I was able to see myself so much more clearly and start to map out my personalities. You know the critic, the deep feeler, the playful child, the ambitious, the perfectionist, in some cases.

61

00:15:18.070 –> 00:15:39.489

and start to create this harmonious ecosystem with that critic. So I would say that trust really took me into a profound relationship with my personalities, and this has magnified my work in general, because now I have a level of

62

00:15:40.720 –> 00:15:51.970

what’s the right word I’m looking for. Confidence is part of it, for sure. But more than anything, a trust in myself, in that everything will find its place.

63

00:15:52.170 –> 00:15:58.929

And that took me to 2 things that I had not yet worked with. One was flow

64

00:15:58.930 –> 00:16:23.880

which turned out to be like. It’s so interesting because Flow started to come into my life as a word, as a concept. And then I got asked to be part of a documentary that actually, I’m going to be going to the United States in February for the premiere in it’s premiering for Pbs Tampa in February for the premiere of this documentary and the biggest piece of this documentary which was plant and

65

00:16:23.880 –> 00:16:29.080

inspired. You know nature inspired documentary, was all about flow flow in the web of life.

66

00:16:30.240 –> 00:16:40.210

And so really trusting in flow, forced me to trust in rest, because

67

00:16:40.430 –> 00:16:51.590

I am a person with lots and lots and lots of energy. I am a person who loves to get things done. I like to check things off my list. I like to be productive.

68

00:16:51.760 –> 00:17:05.950

And then again, I also consider myself on extremely lazy person, and most people don’t know that about me, or they don’t think that about me, but I am in a lot of ways very, very lazy.

69

00:17:06.099 –> 00:17:11.489

And so in 2024, I gave myself permission

70

00:17:11.760 –> 00:17:19.600

to feed into that laziness, to feed into that deep need for rest to believe that

71

00:17:19.780 –> 00:17:25.469

if my body, if my mind, if my energy called for rest.

72

00:17:26.470 –> 00:17:38.960

then I should give it to myself, and I would. I had to just find the trust that it would lead to something. And oh, my goodness! It led to so much which was interesting because

73

00:17:39.170 –> 00:17:57.809

I recently had a guest speaker at my plant inspired masterclasses. Dr. Stephen Pope, who is amazing. I’m actually starting a class with him on the deep meanings of the Hebrew alphabet and Hebrew letters which I had taken as a Kabbalist many years ago with Mari Carmen Blasno, which was

74

00:17:58.210 –> 00:18:27.259

just one of those courses in as a Kabbalist. One of these group settings that really just blew my mind and opened me up to deeper understanding of all of these texts. And anyways in this plant inspired masterclass that he came to. He brought up the term mysticism, and how you cannot understand true wisdom of texts or of experiences, or of concepts without mysticism and mysticism is very much based on

75

00:18:27.450 –> 00:18:35.819

contemplation, which means slowing down and allowing yourself to contemplate

76

00:18:36.200 –> 00:18:42.369

and to rest, and to bring yourself into deep presence and stillness.

77

00:18:43.080 –> 00:18:50.140

and trusting that, especially in a society that values productivity and getting shit done.

78

00:18:50.572 –> 00:19:03.689

Was was kind of hard at some points, and I’ve had this with several of my clients that I work with, that I hold that space. We have one of them that we’ve we’ve coined the term, you know. When do you feel comfortable to just sit on the couch eating bonbans

79

00:19:03.820 –> 00:19:08.830

because that embodies for her the ultimate luxury

80

00:19:08.990 –> 00:19:17.679

and what what we what we realized in our work together, which is, you know, very close to what I realized in my own personal path, is that

81

00:19:17.770 –> 00:19:33.440

sitting on the couch eating bonbons in the case of her, of the way she does it, the same. As for me, maybe watching TV or sitting outside on my balcony staring at Gary. The silver fur is not about escapism. Escapism is a whole different thing.

82

00:19:33.510 –> 00:19:49.020

It’s about stillness. It is about allowing everything to get very quiet inside or to engross yourself in something that is beyond your mind’s chatter.

83

00:19:49.100 –> 00:19:57.699

and move into that space so that it allows other elements of yourself to come out

84

00:19:57.930 –> 00:20:03.110

and having a space where you can, which is what I do for my clients. For them to

85

00:20:03.730 –> 00:20:21.820

expel. I use the term vomit out, but it’s probably not the right term to use, expel from themselves all the chatter. Because again, multipotentialites neurodivergent, you know, creative minds, lots of stuff going on in there, having a space, which was what they have when we.

86

00:20:21.990 –> 00:20:31.269

because I give them a private space where they can write to me at any time, or leave me voice messages at any time expelling all of this out of yourself.

87

00:20:31.810 –> 00:21:00.399

gives space for the quiet. It gives you the space to allow the feelings, the emotions, the body, the subtle layers to express themselves in a way that doesn’t always come through words. And the critic, my critic, is amazing at picking out phrases and words and details

88

00:21:00.670 –> 00:21:02.819

that can be seen

89

00:21:03.000 –> 00:21:27.599

in some cases to destroy from the perspective of destroy conditioning, destroy ideas that are not your own help. You see the way that this element is insidiously getting in there. Right. The critic can do that. And yet my trust that I am a loving, compassionate.

90

00:21:27.810 –> 00:21:29.549

deep feeler.

91

00:21:29.720 –> 00:21:56.139

who is very playful, and is curious and childlike, and therefore my destruction is not from the place of. I want to pull you down, or I have a hurt that I’m projecting onto you because I’ve worked on all of that, but that my inner critic that can destroy as well as build up, because, to be honest. One of the things I worked on or I learned was that my critic can be amazing at creating new things.

92

00:21:56.690 –> 00:22:08.950

and so trusting in all of these pieces. All of that goes back to the trust. And here the plants helped me so much by moving through this.

93

00:22:09.600 –> 00:22:11.920

What’s the right word I’m looking for

94

00:22:12.170 –> 00:22:19.610

by showing me how I also myself am an ecosystem. How is it that I

95

00:22:19.860 –> 00:22:31.659

can look at myself and the environments that I play in, and I work in as an ecosystem, and this really shifted

96

00:22:32.090 –> 00:22:45.859

where the shift of the way that I see, and I experience things wholeness by recognizing that everything has a value when it’s used in the right place at the right time, with the right amount.

97

00:22:46.530 –> 00:22:49.669

So even destruction and decay

98

00:22:49.780 –> 00:22:59.260

has its place, it’s and it can be extremely important to trust in that process when you know that it’s coming from the right place.

99

00:22:59.490 –> 00:23:23.829

That that means working on your trauma. That means giving yourself space. But there is a deep, deep knowledge, a deep awareness and understanding inside of yourself, and when you peel off those layers of all of the conditioning and all of the self-doubt and all of that trauma. It helps you recognize

100

00:23:24.050 –> 00:23:32.399

that you have the power to discern the directions that your life should take.

101

00:23:32.880 –> 00:23:41.770

and you also have the power to constructively, in a broad sense, use any talent that you have, even if you have to use it

102

00:23:42.000 –> 00:23:50.150

in a negative, shadowy, destructive way, in order for an ultimate constructive result.

103

00:23:50.310 –> 00:23:57.129

and for to get there for me rest became a sacred and productive act.

104

00:23:57.410 –> 00:24:20.559

it allowed me to step deeper into flow. It moved me out of discipline, and showed me, and by consequence, as I apply all of this into my work, my clients, my students, and the different groups that I’m a part of which I had never expected myself to step back into with such

105

00:24:22.130 –> 00:24:42.420

With such a positive impact. I had left several of these groups in frustration, in difficulty, and in the inability for me to show the best of me. And now I can walk back into them in a completely different way. While still being very true to self, while still taking amper.

106

00:24:42.700 –> 00:24:45.589

ample, and copious amounts of rest

107

00:24:45.720 –> 00:25:02.020

and thinking of rest as something very productive and sacred, and and that’s shifted completely the the landscape that I work in and I live in. I’m so much more productive in the way that my body does it, which is, bursts.

108

00:25:02.190 –> 00:25:24.939

It doesn’t mean that I don’t plan things. It doesn’t mean that I don’t have schedules, I totally do. But those schedules, and that planning is all again built in a flow that allows me to move with them in a way that is true to self. It allows my authenticity to shine through, and I really see the difference. I see the difference in

109

00:25:25.250 –> 00:25:53.079

the work that I do. I see the difference in the way that I interact with people. I see the difference in the impact that my endeavors. Let’s say it that way. Yesterday I was super excited and scared out of my mind to facilitate a session for Dom and her in one of our big meetings. This was a very big meeting, and I had to facilitate design actually and facilitate an hour long

110

00:25:53.080 –> 00:26:13.900

session, this dynamic to take us through positive thinking. And you know, I had a collaborator. I had actually a collaborator that helped me kind of put together the main ideas. And then I passed them through multiple filters because we have multiple cultures and multiple languages. I needed to make sure everything could work across

111

00:26:13.950 –> 00:26:15.680

different parameters

112

00:26:15.920 –> 00:26:39.240

and then deliver it on zoom and in person simultaneously to like almost 400 people. It was incredible, and I’m still on a high from it. But that has only been possible because of all of this work that I’m talking about, and it’s what I’m seeing also from my clients. I am seeing them step deeper into this personal trust for them to have this safe space with me.

113

00:26:39.240 –> 00:27:02.379

To explore topics so fully gives them the ability to discover their own dominant personalities, and to reframe or befriend these beliefs or characteristics of themselves that they thought were actually holding them back, when in reality they were keeping them safe until they were ready to address them.

114

00:27:02.770 –> 00:27:19.110

so that so, as you can see, trust turned into this giant thing that I don’t think I could have ever imagined. When I 1st put the word and placed it in front of me to look at all year. I never would have understood exactly where it was going to take us. I just knew that that was my word.

115

00:27:19.590 –> 00:27:32.280

the other aspect that has really transformed the way that I interact and and how I approach the world is the impact of community at a

116

00:27:33.360 –> 00:27:55.479

how can I say this? I’ve been living in community for almost 15 years now. So I live in community. I am the founder of the naturally conscious community, and I have been on social media pretty much since the days of like myspace and friendster and tribe way. In the early days, so community building has always been a big part of me, and yet

117

00:27:57.959 –> 00:28:09.279

it has. It’s been an evolution. Let’s just say it that way. It’s been an evolution instead. In the last year I have been in awe at

118

00:28:09.500 –> 00:28:15.739

the broadness of the term community. I stepped back into certain roles in Domin her.

119

00:28:15.920 –> 00:28:43.320

When I stepped out of my role in the quote unquote Federal Government of Dom and her back in 2016 17, in order to go do my master’s in Florence, and when I came back from my master’s I chose to go in a different path, so I didn’t come back in. To be honest, I was kind of frustrated with some of the ways we were doing things. It just didn’t gel with my mind, and in the last year I’ve been asked to come back in

120

00:28:43.640 –> 00:28:47.990

because I have this deep, deep love for

121

00:28:48.500 –> 00:29:09.619

the broadness of our community. In other words, the international aspects, the fact that we have initiates around the world, and so many languages and so many cultures, and that and so many different ways of thinking and doing things for the greater mission of reawakening humanity. And so to understand that I have.

122

00:29:09.850 –> 00:29:29.740

I have to say that my work in ecosystems, in understanding plants is instrumental in helping me create and build community at a completely different level. And of course, all of this translates into the naturally conscious community. I put so much of myself and my energy into the naturally conscious community. Because.

123

00:29:30.070 –> 00:29:36.909

honestly, I’m kind of sick of the social media environment from the perspective of the just generic.

124

00:29:37.375 –> 00:29:42.999

I want to say the word salesy, but I don’t want you to get me wrong. I actually think selling is good.

125

00:29:43.120 –> 00:30:12.559

but selling you things you don’t need or don’t want, and trying to tell you that they’re good when they’re not. Instead of let me present you things that are really amazing. And you choose whether or not you want to partake in them. And so the naturally conscious community was really born from the desire for us to have a very safe space to talk about and talk with plants in a different way, to start to shift the paradigm, to be on that cutting edge, and not be afraid of

126

00:30:13.460 –> 00:30:34.360

being kind of broken down too soon. Mind you, there are people who are very, very good on being on the cutting edge, or of being kind of the mouthpieces, but when you’re an introvert, or when you’re neurodivergent, or when you see the world through an alternative lens, or when you have lots of different ways that you express yourself.

127

00:30:34.480 –> 00:30:43.759

And then you’re trying to, you know, share this relationship with other kin, and how it’s affecting and changing your world.

128

00:30:43.990 –> 00:31:10.589

because we know that when you have a deep relationship with nature, you’re naturally more altruistic. You’re naturally more curious. You’re naturally healthier, you have more awe. You have more wonder which means you’re much more vulnerable. You’re much more delicate. You’re building up a new way of being that the world outside is not necessarily ready for. And I wanted a place

129

00:31:10.590 –> 00:31:24.370

that was safe for us to explore through reading, through sharing experiences, through the simple walk through everyday life. I didn’t want a scientific only place. I didn’t want a spiritual only place.

130

00:31:24.490 –> 00:31:27.190

I wanted people to be able to come

131

00:31:27.690 –> 00:31:33.899

and express the way that they feel in whatever way that works, something that nurtured

132

00:31:33.970 –> 00:32:02.499

the experience and that provided connection. And that was a big piece. So in the naturally conscious community, it’s not just the online, like the postings, which is a part of it. It’s not just me talking at people. We have every single week different events that happen, different courses, workshops that are all part of our monthly calendar book, club discussions and writing and creativity group

133

00:32:02.500 –> 00:32:08.909

and leadership discussions and masterclasses and creativity sessions because

134

00:32:08.910 –> 00:32:13.399

you don’t create connections only by posting something.

135

00:32:13.510 –> 00:32:31.579

The posting in some ways is an expansion of what happens when we meet, and I love love love, that those that come regularly to these events are not only evolving.

136

00:32:31.820 –> 00:33:00.040

but they have created a network amongst themselves. Where, when one is sick, the others know about it, and can send energy, or even sometimes gifts, where, when one travels even to a foreign country, we look for the other in order to be able to connect where we prioritize some of some of the people in the group wake up at 6 o’clock in the morning to participate in some of the events.

137

00:33:00.080 –> 00:33:29.509

because it’s so important to their practice. I just recently received a proposal from one of my groups that they want to take more control, and they want to run things. And I think it’s amazing that they are feeling so confident and comfortable, and also wanting to see this evolution in the direction that helps support their own growth. And we’ve had guest speakers, and you know, and such. So

138

00:33:30.010 –> 00:33:32.159

the naturally conscious community

139

00:33:32.720 –> 00:33:46.839

is that place that I have been dreaming of. And it’s it’s last year it started to kind of gain its traction. Now, look, I’ll be honest. Challenges remain. It’s it’s a bit niche like

140

00:33:47.230 –> 00:33:59.379

it’s a niche. It also is off of the main social networks, which means it’s not always easy for people to find or intuitive for them to stay on.

141

00:34:00.000 –> 00:34:02.729

because, you know, you have to come to another platform

142

00:34:05.320 –> 00:34:13.060

also, being a part of the community, takes time to be really honest, like. I always tell my students at Dom and her, as you.

143

00:34:13.320 –> 00:34:36.370

You know, the Dom and Hurryan Path is, is almost like a priestly path. It’s priests and priestesses that have chosen to work for humanity in a specific way. We align and ally with many different other human and non-human beings that are working for the reawakening of humanity in so many other different ways, but our path is very particular, and the truth of the matter is that if you’re an initiate we’re going to keep taking time.

144

00:34:36.510 –> 00:34:53.319

and it’s constantly going to be a bigger and bigger part of your life, because that’s the whole point. It’s about transforming your life. And in some ways the naturally conscious community has some elements of that, probably because, you know, I founded it. And I’m kind of an all or nothing kind of person. And so we do have a lot of events going on.

145

00:34:53.639 –> 00:34:58.380

but they’re all drop-ins, and if you have other priorities, you can go off and do them

146

00:34:59.010 –> 00:35:13.429

that that regularity is what creates the connection? Because connections take time. So when people tell me that online spaces are all full of of like negativity, I’m like, no, that’s not true, or that you can’t create real friendships

147

00:35:13.760 –> 00:35:37.559

in an online space. No, absolutely not true. Because I would say that the members, the sprouts, as we call ourselves inside, the naturally conscious community would jump on a plane in a heartbeat if they needed. If one of the other members needed something from them, and that is a community that has been completely created in that space.

148

00:35:37.670 –> 00:35:57.189

And it has this unique essence that is beyond, or an evolution of, the conventional online world, and its impact is for sure undeniable for those who fully engage. And I am just so incredibly

149

00:35:57.990 –> 00:36:05.270

humbled to be the you know, the person that sort of holds that space together.

150

00:36:05.600 –> 00:36:26.350

although that’s not even true anymore. Because if it wasn’t for especially my naturally conscious leadership group, all of the members of the Leadership group. They hold the space together today. All I do is do the little mechanics things in the background. And that was a big realization for me of 2025 that I prefer to have a small group

151

00:36:26.880 –> 00:36:52.879

of dedicated people than to try to broaden the reach by making it more generic. That does. Everybody is welcome, and I am sure that Ncc. Over time is going to continue to modify and shift and change because it is based on the people and the plants that participate. And I do say plants that participate. I mean all of the members

152

00:36:53.060 –> 00:37:22.939

who are there. All have plants that have become parts of our community. You know Pilea or the Douglas firs, or these are all plants that are very close to humans and have experiences of their own that they bring into ancestor and the Christmas cactus, which sorry, Lori, I can’t remember Christmas cactus name, but I can totally visualize, like all of these different beings that are

153

00:37:23.250 –> 00:37:35.040

changing us and are being a part of us and are helping us realize the true world we want to live in, and the naturally conscious community gives us a space to explore that world with all of its

154

00:37:35.050 –> 00:37:58.760

positivities and all of its fears. Because there’s a lot of fear around. How do we do things? Do we do them right? And when we see things happening in the outside world that maybe doesn’t align with the vision that we have. How amazing that we have this space to be able to talk to go through. Sometimes I’ll just throw open a breakout room during one of our calls to take somebody in there to have a conversation and help

155

00:37:58.760 –> 00:38:23.549

that person, or for us to work out something that they’re going through. And I want to continue to have that. So for me, the community impact in the naturally conscious community has actually reflected out and reflected back into my community impact in Dom and her. Because, as like, I said, I have taken on a bigger role, and that is, thanks to everything that I have experienced and learned creating community

156

00:38:23.550 –> 00:38:45.039

in this other way, and all of the work I do with ecosystems and the understanding and the feelings and the being, and all of the ecosystem understandings intellectually as well as energetically, that are coming into being. I could also go off on a whole spiritual divine tangent. But I’m not going to go to, because if not, we’ll just be sitting here forever.

157

00:38:45.640 –> 00:38:51.680

And so all this leads me to think, okay, what’s coming up in 2025, because 2024

158

00:38:52.280 –> 00:39:03.880

was a difficult year in some areas of life, and not just my life. But I think for many. And yet, when I sit here and I reflect on it. I am incredibly grateful

159

00:39:04.020 –> 00:39:20.979

for everything that was experienced now for me personally. 2025 is a year. As I go into this year of my life, my age, my my way of being, is a year connected to relationships and to fostering and growing and continuing to evolve relationships

160

00:39:20.980 –> 00:39:35.109

which gets me super excited, because that’s an area specifically to rediscover the missing archetypes of relationships and working very closely with plants who hold and are the custodians of these

161

00:39:35.110 –> 00:39:45.949

of these archetypes. I really want to go much, much deeper into them. In 2024 I got to learn a little bit more. See some of the theories and hypothesis, and I feel like

162

00:39:46.350 –> 00:39:59.990

a few of them I have experienced, but I still don’t know how to put them into words, I don’t know how to share them with a greater audience. So that’s a very big piece of where I know I’m going.

163

00:40:00.440 –> 00:40:15.850

and the other piece that I feel like is important for me is about, and not only for me, for me, for this, podcast for, the naturally conscious community, for my clients, for my work in general is all about next level expansion.

164

00:40:16.190 –> 00:40:22.239

and specifically next level expansion through engagement, through relationships.

165

00:40:22.350 –> 00:40:43.740

I am so ready to support a broader audience, and specifically to hold that space. I feel so solid in my being to hold that creative, neurodivergent, multi-potentialite space, to help them shine, to help all of you shine and thrive in this

166

00:40:44.170 –> 00:41:06.420

transformative and transforming world that we’re in. And I really feel like that is where I’m headed. Engagement is everything for me. Relationships is everything, and since 2025 is a year of completions, a year of like bringing into being things I anchored in some very important energies

167

00:41:06.470 –> 00:41:14.400

before the end of the year that I am now pulling into the apogomental days. I really I let me let me just say

168

00:41:14.650 –> 00:41:37.389

talking about rest, so I love to come into the New Year. It’s part of the tradition of my family to come into the New Year with a super, clean house. So I traveled back because I was in the United States for about 5 weeks. I came back home before the New Year, with the intention of completely cleaning my house and being up and running on the 1st

169

00:41:39.690 –> 00:41:55.370

that didn’t happen on so many levels. I what I ended up doing completely, organically and again in trust. I got home on the on a Sunday. I literally came home, unpacked my bag.

170

00:41:55.860 –> 00:42:11.089

got online because I had one of my classes for Domin. Her one of my action groups that I co-teach. We had a call, and I was the translator, you know, co-teacher, for so I did that which

171

00:42:11.950 –> 00:42:26.230

blew my mind because we were talking about the subtle body and all the different elements of the subtle body, and I had not heard about some of these elements in that particular way. So thank you, Raganella, for bringing and opening new things about the microlines and such.

172

00:42:26.340 –> 00:42:46.260

And then I ended up going out late. When I say late, I mean midnight, because I have a friend of mine who who lives between Dom and her and Milan in the sense that he goes back and forth because of family emergencies that he has happening in Milan, and he can’t always get here until late. So he got in at midnight, and I, even though I had flown

173

00:42:46.260 –> 00:43:06.069

all night from the night before I went to meet him at midnight, because relationships were so important to me. The next day I had met up with another friend, and had a very long conversation, and went out, and really enjoyed my time with this person. And then New Year’s Eve with a whole other group of people, and it was like

174

00:43:06.310 –> 00:43:22.649

I was exhausted and yet pumped at the exact same time, and I felt like I was completely anchoring in the energy of relationships without even thinking about it. I hadn’t planned it. I had intended to just be home. And then, on the first.st You know what I did

175

00:43:23.100 –> 00:43:27.949

the 1st of the year, you know you’re it’s the epagomental days I’m supposed to like. Get up and run.

176

00:43:28.880 –> 00:43:34.980

I did nothing, nothing.

177

00:43:35.960 –> 00:43:38.420

I was home.

178

00:43:38.990 –> 00:43:43.420

I watched TV. I laid on my couch.

179

00:43:44.060 –> 00:43:58.910

I drank matcha and sat looking at the fire, and I, which turned out to be the element that I’m working with this year. Which again, another unexpected thing because completion and yet fire.

180

00:43:59.220 –> 00:44:01.749

I’m still working that one out. It’ll come.

181

00:44:02.040 –> 00:44:08.469

and I just sat in presence, stillness, and contemplation pretty much the entire day.

182

00:44:08.690 –> 00:44:18.830

I only got dressed because I don’t have the habit of sitting in my pajamas all day, and I like being dressed. Other than that. I did nothing, and it was

183

00:44:19.070 –> 00:44:29.389

amazing, amazing and perfect, and the exact way I wanted to spend the year, because then I thought for a minute, you know you creeps in, and you’re like, Oh, my goodness, I’m not going to get anything done.

184

00:44:29.500 –> 00:44:42.850

And then you’re like, Okay, well, I refuse to just plan, because obviously, I need to be in a flow. And then the next day, boom, everything started to move, and little by little this inspiration started to come, and I started to get things done.

185

00:44:43.160 –> 00:44:51.570

So next level expansion through engagement is where I am heading, and I have a new plant ally which

186

00:44:52.070 –> 00:45:01.809

came in about halfway through last year. But, announced Kiself, and then promptly did nothing.

187

00:45:02.330 –> 00:45:10.070

because, as I have learned in the last, probably week, and now I understand

188

00:45:10.800 –> 00:45:24.979

Noel, the Christmas cactus, who’s sitting in the corner over there, and I can’t shift the camera to make it easy to see. But Noel is too big to kind of bring up Noel. The Christmas cactus embodies silent.

189

00:45:25.230 –> 00:45:37.980

profound wisdom that is unaccessible or inaccessible. Excuse me, inaccessible to the mind chatter.

190

00:45:38.330 –> 00:45:47.189

and is only accessible by mystical experiences and somatic understandings.

191

00:45:48.060 –> 00:46:05.660

The heck I got to that phrase is another podcast in and of itself, but the understanding, when I sat down and like, journaled or allowed myself to just bring up everything of 2024 into 2025,

192

00:46:06.030 –> 00:46:11.570

and to call in the energy of the pagomenal days to be extremely vulnerable with myself

193

00:46:14.340 –> 00:46:23.389

all of a sudden Noel was like, now you know why I’m here because Noel came in, so I haven’t shared this with anybody yet but

194

00:46:23.750 –> 00:46:27.660

Spider Plant, who was my previous business partner.

195

00:46:28.460 –> 00:46:36.119

started to take steps to come out of my life last year, and for me that was really difficult, because, you know.

196

00:46:36.330 –> 00:46:43.040

when we’re talking about plants, spider Plant had, you know, started to die back

197

00:46:43.380 –> 00:47:00.870

and die back to a very small size, when nothing. I had changed nothing about anything, nothing about spider plants. Environment had changed, and I couldn’t understand it. And then, at some point, I was got a very, very clear message. That

198

00:47:01.190 –> 00:47:04.639

Spider Plant was passing off the reins to Noel.

199

00:47:05.190 –> 00:47:07.249

But Noel doesn’t speak

200

00:47:07.620 –> 00:47:17.860

like Spider Plant does. So I accepted this, and it’s taken me months to accept it, and Spiderplant is still with me. But Spider Plant is much

201

00:47:18.830 –> 00:47:22.560

more delicate and small and reduced.

202

00:47:22.800 –> 00:47:29.499

And so I have, you know, placed Spider Plant where he has told me to place

203

00:47:30.302 –> 00:47:39.999

them, and, you know don’t interact in the way that I was used to interacting as as a business partner, as some, you know, someone who

204

00:47:40.190 –> 00:47:57.800

I just keep noticing that. My, by the way, as I’m getting into this emotional, my neurodivergent mind who goes and says, Why is my video keep unzooming my video keeps unzooming. So you had a big chunk of me unzoomed, and now I’m zoomed. And who knows what the hell’s happening? Anyways? The point I was trying to make was that

205

00:47:58.070 –> 00:48:05.429

spider plant made it very, very clear to me. I you. I worked with you through a part of your business

206

00:48:06.640 –> 00:48:18.430

that was to a certain level. I took you through a series of things, and I stepped into roles as a healer that I needed to step into. And now my time in that role

207

00:48:18.630 –> 00:48:38.719

is no longer. And so, therefore Noel is who you’re supposed to work with. And now Noel and I have a contentious relationship because I love Noel, and at the same time I have no idea how to take care of Noel. Other people have beautiful blooming Christmas cactus. Noel blooms whenever the heck Noel feels like blooming, and it’s very confusing. But at the same time

208

00:48:39.590 –> 00:48:46.169

I was like, Okay, I’m accepting this, and only only like I said in the last week in this

209

00:48:46.610 –> 00:49:03.579

understanding of contemplation have I understood that? How the mysticism, the somatic practices that I’ve been talking about the personality and the shadow work? How all of this is going to come together, and how Noel is the right plant ally.

210

00:49:03.580 –> 00:49:16.749

plant, partner, to take me into this new realm, and where no name. Dracenia over here is more about just getting in touch with my body, and helped me so much through that part of myself

211

00:49:16.840 –> 00:49:28.209

where Noel is going to have somatic understandings. It’s in a completely different way, and Noel’s not completely silent. I mean, Noel speaks, but Noel speaks in very much a plant language that

212

00:49:28.560 –> 00:49:30.210

I kind of

213

00:49:30.410 –> 00:49:59.569

feel, but I don’t yet know. And so it’s scary, because I’ve had these. You know, my business partners have been my business partners. I’ve had human business partners that have also left, and it’s always been scary. It’s a shift, and you change the way you do business the way that you experience things, and you have completely different ways of interacting and of brainstorming and of processing and of getting work done. And so I’m a little nervous about working with Noel, who I keep staring at.

214

00:50:00.360 –> 00:50:23.909

And yet I’m actually excited. I’m excited because Noel has a very different mechanism for propagation. For example, that I know is a part of it about how to expand. And also the way Noel grows has already. Yeah, it’s already starting to open up other tracks for me to experience. So in closing, I

215

00:50:24.340 –> 00:50:41.399

I hope you understand, like I hope, that that this makes sense, because trust, critique and flow are not just lessons for my year. They’re these powerful principles we can all embrace to navigate life with greater ease and purpose. Mind you, critique.

216

00:50:41.850 –> 00:51:05.620

might not be the same way for everyone, because it might not be your dominant personality. Maybe your dominant personality is a controller. Maybe your dominant personality is a child, but the point being is that all of your elements, all of your parts of your personality, have a purpose, and when you trust into that, and you trust in your own ability to flow with them, then everything becomes

217

00:51:05.620 –> 00:51:21.660

easier, and it becomes based on purpose rather than control. So by partnering with nature and honoring every part of ourselves. We can create lives that feel both expansive and deeply connected. And so

218

00:51:22.180 –> 00:51:46.910

I wish you and I’m looking forward to this journey with you over this year I’m excited to have you here on the podcast watching and listening, but also to have you in the naturally conscious community, to participate in our events, and hopefully to be an integral part of our community, helping us redefine the way we do things there. So thank you so much for joining me in this exploration.

219

00:51:47.170 –> 00:51:52.440

and let’s carry all of these lessons forward together, and I want to

220

00:51:53.080 –> 00:52:07.940

before I go. I do want to take a very quick moment to to think about how you can apply these same tools in your own life, like, for example, how can you create more space for trust in your life.

221

00:52:08.100 –> 00:52:29.910

You know what happens when you reflect on the areas that you’ve been holding yourself back, or second guessing yourself. What would it look like if you allowed yourself to fully trust your instincts and the process more than anything right, even if you don’t trust your instincts left, how can you get to a place where you trust the actual process

222

00:52:29.980 –> 00:52:55.200

also. What part of you has been silenced or hidden, like my critic was, I literally spent 20 years of my life. I am not joking with you. I can tell you stories of very particular moments where I was trying to shut down my critic where I tried to get rid of, you know. Push away! I cried. I screamed. I divorced

223

00:52:55.460 –> 00:52:57.079

because of my critic.

224

00:52:57.510 –> 00:53:19.050

Only now to learn that my critic is actually a very integral part of my personality. So what part of you have you been silencing or holding back that could be valuable? Ally? When you move forward, think about all these different aspects of your personality and your experience, that you might have ignored or dismissed, or actively worked to get rid of?

225

00:53:19.090 –> 00:53:33.110

How can you bring them in to focus. How can you help their light and dark sides? Show and help them, and allow them to help you grow and achieve what it is that you want to achieve.

226

00:53:33.360 –> 00:53:35.859

And more importantly than any of this.

227

00:53:36.520 –> 00:53:41.810

where could you slow down and embrace the flow of life more fully?

228

00:53:42.020 –> 00:53:50.440

Where are the areas that you’re just trying to push too hard or trying to control the outcome or trying to focus things through discipline.

229

00:53:50.720 –> 00:53:57.869

How might you create more space for reflection, for rest, for natural progress to emerge.

230

00:53:58.020 –> 00:54:24.970

I’d absolutely love, love, love, to hear your thoughts and experiences. How are you planning for the year ahead. And what insights have you gained from today’s episode? Your perspective is so valuable to me, and I look forward to hearing how you’re integrating these lessons into your life. Come, send me a message. Write to me in the naturally conscious community post. Find me on social media. If you found this episode helpful. I want you to invite.

231

00:54:27.670 –> 00:54:28.670

Sorry.

232

00:54:30.630 –> 00:54:39.339

Noelle just said something to me, and my body stopped, and I do not know how to express what Noelle just expressed to me.

233

00:54:40.450 –> 00:54:45.107

I am going to try. How do I try, Noel? You’re not helping me.

234

00:54:51.260 –> 00:54:53.740

The general concept was

235

00:54:54.250 –> 00:55:05.270

I was going to invite you into the naturally conscious community which he agrees with. But the other piece of it is, how do I invite you to move together with us? How.

236

00:55:05.550 –> 00:55:24.820

what words can I use to express this concept of evolution requires movement, movement requires participation, and participation is what moves things forward. I know that was a little bit circular. But mind you, plant language. Okay?

237

00:55:26.260 –> 00:55:27.150

So

238

00:55:27.300 –> 00:55:43.230

yes. Come to the naturally conscious community. Yes, read our posts, but yes, also participate. Be a part. Allow it to move you, and allow yourself even to be moved in ways that you can express, and to express the fact that you don’t know how to express them.

239

00:55:43.320 –> 00:55:58.729

So this is a space for multi-passionate, neurodivergent creatives who are looking to align. You know your strengths with your life purpose all while building up all of these meaningful relationships with plants and your own inner plantness.

240

00:55:58.830 –> 00:56:15.099

And the way you do that is by allowing yourself to be moved. Maybe that’s is that better to be moved. Allow yourself to be moved. If you’re looking for a community that supports you and your personal evolution and your mission and

241

00:56:15.360 –> 00:56:22.750

supports you in moving. This is absolutely the place for you.

242

00:56:23.120 –> 00:56:38.400

and if you want to stop swimming in a sea of ideas, not knowing how to manage life and work. I’d love to work with you directly. As a coach. As I said, I specialize in helping creative, multipotentialites, Aka, neurodivergent individuals. You know

243

00:56:38.700 –> 00:56:48.730

all the terms to bring their many, many, many talents together, to create a thriving business as well as a deeply fulfilling personal life.

244

00:56:48.730 –> 00:57:16.420

How do you weave the threads of all these different passions that you might have, which in my world specifically both professional and personal, all blur together. I’ve always said I am what I do, and I do what I am. So whether you’re looking to streamline your activities and your ideas and get them into some kind of connection, or to get clarity on how it is that these different parts of yourself help you accomplish your purpose.

245

00:57:17.380 –> 00:57:26.469

I’m here for you. I want to help you integrate natural mysticism and nature connection into your work, and I’m here to help you navigate the journey.

246

00:57:26.520 –> 00:57:52.290

So one of my clients once shared that the best part about working with me was to be able to say anything they feel, no matter how messy or confusing it seems, and knowing that together we can figure out how it is useful, how it fits into their life and into their goals. And I truly believe that when you have someone in your corner who supports you unconditionally, you can face any challenge and completely flourish. So if you’re feeling called

247

00:57:52.610 –> 00:57:55.679

to consciously evolve, I’m here for you.

248

00:57:55.800 –> 00:58:02.179

I am here. So let’s connect and see how I can support you in creating a life that reflects your authentic self
