  1. This was not what I thought it was going to be…which was good. I went into it thinking, “meh, another permaculture podcast” and then was super surprised by the content. I really enjoyed the conversations about her work as a therapist and how that relates to permaculture. I also *really* appreciated her take on how introverts can interact with their community vs. extroverts and how that is OK. It is an area I struggle with personally and hearing this discussion was a welcome surprise.

  2. I listened to this in pieces over the weekend and have found myself thinking about a lot of the things you talked about in this podcast since. I really appreciated the discussion about grieving, permaculture as a way to
    walk forward’, and I totally agree with Rachel Kaplan that you guys do amazing work to bring these discussions to all of through your blog and the podcasts.
