Will you wither or bloom? 🌱 In this Russian story, we explore self-care through the surprising metaphor of gardening. What can a sick or wilting plant teach us about people? In this episode, I read and discuss advice from an old gardening book and use it as a metaphor for taking care of ourselves. We talk about repotting a plant, finding support, cutting weeds, protecting yourself from annoying “flies”, and creating better conditions for growth. You will learn Russian words and expressions connected with plants, gardening, growth, self-care, habits, support, boundaries, and emotional well-being.
