This episode we are back on location at the Brisbane Mount Coot-tha Botanical Gardens to meet Karla Pound, a survivalist, bowhunter, adventure guide and all round amazing woman.

We spoke about why saying YES can help build you a life that you love, full of adventure and new experiences. What it was like being alone in the wilderness for over a month, and how being open minded lead to becoming a guide for national geographic!

“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play, his labour and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his reaction. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing and leaves others to determine if he is working or playing. To himself he always seems to be doing both. Enough for him that he does it well.”- L.P Jacks

It isn't often we get to speak to someone like todays guest, Michael Wardle. Michael is a widely recognised permaculture designer and educator, who is helping so many of us with our own permaculture journeys. As the owner and operator of 'Savour Soil Permaculture', Michael has designed and worked in many different settings, helping to transform the land into thriving spaces where practicality meets abundance.

In the discussion today we cover all aspects of design, management and the thought process behind creating a permaculture space, and how we can best make the most of the natural movement of the land instead of working against it. If this interest you, come along for the ride!

This week I was lucky enough to sit down with Emma Teni from the Australian Reptile Park to chat all about our eight legged friends - SPIDERS! As a person who is genuinely not comfortable with spiders but who is also happy seeing them in the garden, this conversation was right up my alley and I was grateful to have Emma releive some of my fear.

We spoke about why it's so important to have people like Emma doing the work to create anti-venom for some of the worlds deadliest spiders. She went through how it is collected and which spiders she's happy to have climbing on her face! If you find spiders fascinating then you will love this episode.

Wow, what an episode this one was! The incredible Erik Van Zuilekom from United Natures Design joined me and we covered so many awesome topics. From Biochar and wood vinegar to massive living architecture designs with natural plant cycles and succession. This episode has it all.

I genuinely am so inspired by Erik and it was a pleasure to learn so much wisdom from him in this conversation. He provided so many perfect lessons for all of us to take home, from the garden to life in general. Please support him via the links below...
