(Replay of Episode #56, originally aired November 2022)
What if trees are not just good for the planet—but medicine for our minds?
With summer in full bloom and my love of trees at an all-time high, I’m bringing back one of my most beloved episodes. In this replay from November 2022, I’m joined by bestselling author and proud tree-hugger Cheryl Rickman for a soul-nourishing conversation about the wisdom, science, and sacredness of trees.
We explore her book Tree Glee, the healing power of time spent in nature, and why trees offer more than beauty and shade—they help regulate our nervous systems, spark awe, and remind us what it means to belong to something greater.
You’ll walk away inspired to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience trees not just as background—but as grounded, generous teachers in your everyday life.
💡 3 Takeaways You’ll Love:
🌳 We are mutual light-seekers. Trees and humans both grow toward light—literally and metaphorically.
🌿 Tree time is healing time. Even a few quiet moments with trees can shift your stress and center your spirit.
🌲 Our connection is ancient. Our reverence for trees is more than poetic—it’s wired into our senses, memory, and soul.
