You're Allowed to Take a Break From Healing
Healing is a necessary part of growth, however it’s possible to be doing too much healing work. When you become hyper-focused on working through traumas, you will burn yourself out. Rest is equally as important as the work you do for healing. Take a pit stop on the journey. You are allowed to do that. Remember this is a journey, not a destination. Join me as I discuss the importance of taking a break in your healing journey and what that looks like. Tune in!

A Message to My Younger Self
What message would you give your younger self? I would tell mine: I wish you could see how special you are. You are so loved and valued, even when you don’t see it. Keep going.

Customer Reviews
Helped me
Niara has the best advice and words. It always comes at the best times when I need it the most
This Podcast waters my garden!
I feel like I need to be seated with a cup of tea when I listen, lol. The episodes are short, sweet, and so edifying! Perfect for the morning commute, lunch breaks, or anytime you have a few minutes to yourself. It’s just good content overall.
It feels less like a podcast and more like a conversation between friends
I have been listening to Growing Gardenias since it’s early episodes, and each episode feels so much more intimate than the last! I adore how Niara brings light to often times difficult topics and helps voice what we all might legitimately be feeling and might not feel comfortable expressing aloud. Her anecdotes are relatable, and she never feels ‘preach-y’ when sharing advice or tips on how to navigate what may otherwise be sensitive topics.
The growth that I can see and feel in Niara as a listener of the show for some time really helps motivate me on my own journey of healing and self love. It’s not an easy road to travel, and it’s even harder when you feel alone on this path. Tuning in every Sunday has become a part of my self care routine, and I look forward to each and every new episode that is released! Give the show a listen, you won’t regret it!
