As the conversation unfolds, we address the pressing (and controversial) issue of climate change, its impact on nature, and how our actions can often aggravate the problem.


Scott shares his unique perspective as a former wildland firefighter and a lifelong land worker, shedding light on how we can align our actions with the natural world rather than working against it. We further explore the consequences of our human footprint on the planet and ask some tough questions about our collective and individual responsibilities.


In the final part of our chat, we connect the dots between nature and personal growth, exploring the importance of creating space and time for ourselves, much like the rhythm of a garden. We also discuss the profound relationship between humans and nature, highlighting how our connection with the natural world can guide us towards joy and fulfillment.


Wrapping up the episode, we reflect on the intersection of culture, trauma, and community, urging each listener to find their own personal sovereignty. Tune in for a thought-provoking journey through the wisdom of the garden and beyond.
