JoAnne Pavin and guest Rebecca Woolley, master gardener and Redeeming Roots founder, to discuss their deep roots and love for gardening, both physically and mentally. They touch on Becky's journey into gardening, her work with Southern Californian School gardens, and the importance of balance in education. The conversation also delves into the spiritual connection between humans and nature, particularly through gardening. Finally, they talk about the patience required when planting seeds in a garden or in life and how to trust in the process.

They both discuss how nature can reflect the cycles of human life, and encourages listeners to think about the seeds of truth they have learned from their experiences. Becky also discusses the power of words and encourage people to speak life into others. She passionately reminds us that a person's garden reflects their heart space.
JoAnne and Becky dive into the importance of connecting with nature, particularly through gardening. They emphasize the impact it can have on children to learn about growing food and being in touch with the earth. The conversation also touches on setting a table intentionally for each person during meals as a way to connect and build relationships.
They end with a guided breath exercise encouraging listeners to trust the process of growth in their own lives.
