    Episode 67: How To Water Yourself The Way You Water Your Plants ft. The Plant Papi

    We've been talking to our plants for years. Turns out, they've been trying to tell us something back. In this episode, Meagan and Dagny sit down with  ⁨@theplantpapi⁩  — a therapist, houseplant creator, and genuinely one of our favorite humans on the internet — to talk about what plant care can teach us about taking care of ourselves. Watering as consistency. Repotting as growth. Pruning as letting go. Dormancy as permission to rest. It's a mental health conversation disguised as a gardening episode, and we're not sorry about it. Plus rapid fire questions, houseplant tips woven throughout, and at least one moment where we accidentally got real.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*
