Summary

Today’s episode will inspire you to put your hands in the soil and grow something. Rachel shares her entire history with gardening, from how she got started to her intuitive process now. The beautiful thing about gardening is that you can just begin, and nature will take it from there. Tending to a little plot of land has changed Rachel’s life for the better. This daily work of time spent in the garden working with her hands is shifting something so primal inside of her - and showing her maybe there is another way to live. Maybe growing our own foods is the way out of the existing system that is draining us and taking us away from our children. If we want something to change, we have to be that change. You can start right now by growing some food. Tune in to get inspired.
