HORTICULTURAL THERAPY: How Nature Can Heal Stress, Burnout, and Anxiety with Jessica Murnane

Author, creative consultant, and horticultural therapy practitioner Jessica Murnane (a WANTcast favorite!) joins us today on the WANTcast to talk about discovering horticultural therapy, building an offline-first business, and the very real mental, physical, social, and emotional benefits of getting your hands in the dirt. 

In this episode, we dig into (pun intended) community vs. solo practices, rethinking social media for your values (and sanity), how nature rituals can rewire scarcity mindset, and so much more.

 

WE TALK ABOUT:

• What horticultural therapy actually is — and why it’s not pseudoscience
• Starting something new while opting out of the social media hamster wheel (and what to do instead)
• Using nature and horticultural practices as mindset shift metaphors
• Why group nature experiences often light people up more than going it alone
• Simple, accessible practices for anyone to try
• Monetization, meaning, and choosing your “hard” when your work is mission-driven
• and more!!
