Ep.135 It Was Never Just Me and the Trees with Rebecca Tickell

In this episode, Rebecca Tekell and I explore what happens when we stop trying to “save the planet” and start remembering that the Earth has been speaking to us all along. This is a conversation for anyone who carries that quiet ache of disconnection or the hum of fear beneath the noise of daily life, and is longing to find their way back home.

We talk about the deep grief many of us feel, not because something is wrong with us, but because we’ve forgotten how to listen. 

Most importantly, we explore how every act of presence... laying in clover, touching a tree, sitting in observation, becomes a powerful form of participation in the planet’s healing.

In this episode about Nature communication, you’ll learn:
🌿Why disconnection isn’t personal failure, it’s forgetting how to listen
🌿 How nature communicates through sensation, intuition, and synchronicity
🌿 The link between regeneration, observation, and feminine wildness
🌿 Why we can stop “fixing” nature and start rebuilding relationship
