13. Growing An Intentional and Present Life with Plants

If you became a new plant parent during the pandemic and that journey has been a little daunting, this episode with Chloe Beach of Plants By Chlo will give you the confidence you need to flourish in your plant journey. Honestly, even more seasoned plant parents will feel lighter and more inspired after listening to this conversation. I sure do!

After growing up around plants, Chloe started her own plant journey in 2017 after moving in with her then boyfriend, now fiancé and it just felt right to welcome plants into the home. She has since found a deeper life meaning and more connection to her healing and growth through the care of her plant babies.

This year more than ever I have learned that patience, presence, and attention to detail in both my plants and myself is crucial.

In this episode, Chloe shared inspiring and insightful tips on a healthy and realistic approach to starting our own plant journeys to ease the overwhelm and set ourselves up for success.

The ‘tradescantia’ Chloe mentions.

As this conversation continued to unfold Chloe opened up about her journey of self-discovery and growing an intentionally present life with plants. Like the ancestral work she dove into to find out more about her roots and since learned that she is 30% Nigerian. Also, the connection to her spirituality and faith she’s been able to find in her plants that has evolved and strengthened an area, that in years past was a struggle.

This actually being my first podcast interview (I release episodes in a way that flows for me) I was very nervous but I think you’ll feel when those nerves melted away and Chloe and I really begin to have a good time talking away about life and the parallel with plants.

5 Takeaways

  1. Start simple and do the research to find the plants that are the easiest to care for and get really good at taking care of those first.
  2. No two plants are the same, find out what works for your plants in your home.
  3. Don’t overwhelm yourself, slowly build and follow your instincts around taking care of your plants.
  4. God is always talking, it’s whether or not you’re listening and paying attention. 
  5. Being present is a luxury and having plants around allows you to live in that luxurious moment a little more often.

Power, passion, and purpose are only three of many things that come to mind when I read any of Tinita's creations. The depth and meaning she gives to her words is nothing short of a piece of art.
