The Role of Nature in Personal Growth

  • サマリー

  • What role do you think nature plays in your life? For me, it has always been a deeper way to improve my mental, physical, and emotional health. In fact, it’s not just me who thinks this way. The minute I hopped into the digital recording studio, I knew that my guest was someone very similar to me! I’ve been following Marcus Bridgewater, better known as Garden Marcus, for years, and I’m so happy to say that he surpassed my dreams of what this conversation on plants and wellness could have been.


    In this episode, we learn:
    • [02:12] Who is Marcus from Garden Marcus?
    • [04:49] Something we have in common!
    • [09:03] How did Garden Marcus get started?
    • [12:50] How did Marcus first start gardening?
    • [17:01] Our crazy plant parent stories
    • [18:56] Community and isolation
    • [20:37] Why we need more green spaces
    • [27:41] How to be a more “grounding” person
    • [30:08] How disconnected is the world from nature?
    • [33:08] Exploring plant life parallels
    • [36:37] How to understand “feelings”
    • [39:35] How to awaken to nature’s presence
    • [43:27] How Marcus’s book came to be
    • [46:11] Mind, body, and spirit
    • [47:32] What it means to be “community loyal”
    • [48:23] Garden Marcus vs. Marcus Bridgewater
    • [51:04] Check out Seasons of Growth: The New Journal
    • [53:30] Where to follow/find Garden Marcus
