Have you ever found yourself in the crossroads of not wanting to participate in the mainstream system and needing to run a business or buy things for daily life? When you get there, you probably believe that in order to be successful, you have to conform to the norm.

I instead want to talk to you about the importance of aligning personal and professional values with the natural world, challenging limiting beliefs, and embracing uncharted territory to unlock your full paradigm shifting abilities.

In a world that emphasizes conformity, what we really want is to live a life where our values and beliefs are supported through the purchases we make and the activities we participate in. And I am here to tell you: it can be done!

Topics Covered about stepping out of the mainstream

 * Identify the aspects of the mainstream system you want to support and what you want to clearly stay away from.
 * Step outside the box to create a life that is unique to you.
 * Look for the good work, and when you find it, support it!

I Don't Want To Participate in the Mainstream System

I know weird. I have been called weird my entire life. And you know what? I wear it like a badge of honor. Because my unique set of characteristics is what allows me to achieve my Life Purpose.

Every individual contributes to the world in their own way. You need to recognize that once you give yourself permission to follow your own personal path, in whatever way your mind gets you there, you will be free of the weight of what others think you should be, and embrace who you truly are.

In this episode, I share the importance of recognizing your own unique characteristics and how to reframe the idea of challenges into liberations, rather than limitations. If you are ready to embrace and celebrate your diversity, rather than labeling it as "weird" or "neurodiverse", you are going to love this episode!

Topics Covered about being weird

 * Who you are is how you accomplish your Life Purpose. 
 * Every species in an ecosystem has a function, no matter how strange.
 * There are always individuals outside of the cookie-cutter shapes.
 * Weird is how you express your individuality.

Ep.35 Weird is your Extraordinary Superpower!

This is a really exciting episode that brings together science, nature, Spiritual Physics, personal development… Scientists have proposed a new law of nature that explains the evolution of everything in the universe, from stars and planets to Life to AI. The law of increasing functional information says that complex systems become more complex over time by selecting for functions that help them survive or thrive.

In Spiritual Physics, we would call this the Law of Complexity. Complexity creates space. And as you become more complex, you can do more with so much less because you are at a new level of evolution. This is where you divinitize matter.

When you try to hold back your evolution, everything feels hard. In this episode, I walk you through the four stages of complexity so you can consciously guide incremental change into long-lasting evolution with ever greater evolution.

Topics Covered about turning change into evolution

 * New Law of Nature discovered proves our Universe evolves.
 * Law of Complexity in Spiritual Physics.
 * The stages of change necessary to have lasting evolution.
 * When you evolve into greater  complexity, you can do more with less energy.

Ep.34 Going From Change To Evolution | Greater Complexity

In this episode, I share with you three influential lessons I learned from observing small plants growing in the cracks of soil around the pyramids in Egypt. It is unusual to find plants when you visit the ancient sites. Kin are there, but not always visible, which is why I was so excited when I had some alone time with one particular plant.

In our communication, this helped me understand just how much ki contributes to the health and wellness of not just the site, but all those that visit. It was super powerful to understand just how much is happening belowground.

And this provided a different perspective on our own human contributions. How often have you wondered if you are in harmony with the planet and if what you are doing contributes in any way at all? If this thought has crossed your mind, you are going to want to listen to these three important lessons about contribution, inspiration, and the benefit of challenges.

Topics Covered about contributing in harmony with the plant

 * Plant resilience from the plants in Egypt
 * Appreciate and contribution in a larger context
 * Embracing imperfection as opportunities for growth
 * Positive functions of cracks in the foundation

Ep.33 How to Contribute in Harmony with the Planet | 3 Influential Lessons 

I'm so excited to share with you this episode because the feeling that you are "giving away for free" your expertise comes up often, especially with multipotentialite entrepreneurs looking to create unique offers.

Recently, one of my clients came to me with a dilemma: she felt like she was being taken advantage of in a new business endeavor. We brought it into our NCLg group mentoring call (part of Flourishing Sprouts), and instantly witnessed the choral voices of indignation and frustration.

After copious venting, I introduced the plant perspective. This is based on the concept that we all have some level of plantness at our core, therefore what happens when we activate this aspect of ourselves. Rather than seeing others as seeing others as threats or competitors, it opened the discussion to potential allies and collaborators.

In this episode, explore this shift in logic, and how it allows us to approach a situation not from a place of fear or scarcity, but from a place of curious creativity. We can look for ways to make any deal mutually beneficial, not only in terms of money, but also in terms of values, goals, and vision. I hope this reminds you to embrace your plantness and apply it to your own situations.

Topics Covered about not giving away for free

 * Mutually Beneficial relationships
 * Shifting your point of view
 * Seeing situations through your plantness
 * Not getting caught in the scarcity model

Not Giving Anything Away For Free Anymore

There are times, like this, when it feels like there is more unrest in the world than usual. It is especially important in these challenging times to nourish ourselves in order to work through the grief, anxiety, and fear coming at us from every direction.

In episode 31, I share with you three simple steps--the very building blocks of Life--to understand and manage your journey. By breaking down these complex issues into simple, manageable steps, the natural world gives us a proven model for deep understanding, adaptation, and ultimately, how to flourish in the face of adversity.

Plant wisdom pulls us out of the micro, and into the ecosystem perspective. There you find innovative, yet super simple actions to trigger your natural intelligence and bring about positive ripple effects.

Within you lies everything you need to overcome anxiety and fear, even evolve through it. And this episode offers you the steps to do it.

Topics Covered about challenging times

 * Coping and adapting strategies for dealing with unrest
 * Flow through the peaks and troughs of life
 * New models for overcoming anxiety and fear
 * Stop reacting from a place of lack

Three Steps Plants Want You to Take in Challenging Times

Everyone fails. It is impossible to go through life without failing at something. And this is not just true for people. Failure is a constant in the natural world, too. Without it, nothing changes, nothing grows.

If failure at some point is inevitable, how do you know if and when to try again?

In episode 30, we go into the nitty-gritty details of how plants carry out failure management, starting from the roots to the crown. We go through various different scenarios to understand how to use your Natural Intelligence to evolve a failure into success.

You are different every day. Your skillset improves, your knowledge expands, and your awareness becomes more refined. This means that failure yesterday is not necessarily an indication of what will happen tomorrow. By thinking like a plant, you can more easily match conditions to actions, choosing the perfect path to get where you want to go.

Topics Covered about after failure, trying again

 * How to use the autumn
 * Plant adaptation and resilience after failure
 * Fear around failing
 * Working with plants as mentors for overcoming failure

After Failure, This is When You Should Try Again

Years ago, when I lived in the Damanhur nucleo home of Cornucopia, I made friends with a spider plant. Ki came from Sicily and was actually the coming together of various small spiders, AKA offsets, scattered around the house by the person that was supposed to take care of ki [https://tigrillagardenia.com/2023/08/31/enhance-kinship-with-words/]. Abandoned, I grouped them together, and with much appreciation, was told that as they fused into one being, I could call them Spider plant--capital S and lower case p, two words.

When I moved into the room where Spider plant was living, I discovered ki was quite chatty. At the beginning of my coaching business, there was no lack of things Spider plant wanted to discuss with me. Very quickly ki assumed the role of "business partner," and as such our strategic partnership was born.

In episode 29, I share with you two very important lessons Spider plant taught me in the years we've worked together. These were reinforced during COVID, when ki stepped up to share their healing gifts with the world. Since then, we offer Plant Music Healing regularly, which is a session based on my medical research into the effects of plant music on human health and ki's ability to transmit across great distances.

I hope this episode makes you think of the plants that have been trying to work with you and what lessons they want to share.

Topics Covered about Spider plant as a business partner

 * Working with a plant in business
 * Plant music healing
 * How plant characteristics are more than how they live
 * Focusing on your Life Purpose

Two important Lessons from Spider Plant, My Business Partner

I received an email from someone that took my Spirit Wild Plant quiz telling me, "When it comes to the courses, I am a bit cautious because I don't think that understanding of plants can be taught in this way because communication with them is not measurable. It's based more on faith and intuition."

She's not wrong... but she's not all together right, either. At its core, communicating with plants is about giving yourself permission to give and receive differently. It’s about opening up to new ways of sharing information--beyond the five senses you know and beyond rational thought. 

In episode 28, we're deep diving into what plant communication is and isn't, and why saying you "talk" to plants is limiting both you and kin! Plants have lived through pandemics, crisis, pollution, blights, famines, drought... kin have turned barren wastelands into lush life. Opening yourself to communication gives you access to 470+ million years of knowledge!
