Choose Good Soil for Life (Part 1)
What does it mean to choose good soil? In this episode, Heidi asks us to consider how cultivating our thoughts can help the entire garden flourish.
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” - Philippians 4:8

Putting Down Roots for Healthy Boundaries (Part 2)
This week on the GYL podcast, we continue to discuss the topic of healthy boundaries! In this episode, Heidi asks us to consider the difference between what it means to be responsible for versus responsible to, and she challenges us with this: We can only be responsible for ourselves – and only in the present!

Putting Down Roots for Healthy Boundaries (Part 1)
Get ready to dig deeper into the three O's of the "O-Zone" and begin putting down roots for healthy boundaries! Through personal and professional experiences, Heidi provides tools to help us start identifying things that are outside our control, and she invites us to begin pondering what things we are called to steward and change.
May the Good Gardener bless you with the serenity to accept the things you cannot change and the courage to change the things you can!
