The Well-Tended Life

The Well-Tended Life Podcast is all about intentional living, that’s inspired by my great-great-grandmother’s classic book “The Secret Garden”. A Well-Tended Life is not a set it and forget it life, nor is it a perfect life. It is worked on every day, in the sunshine and through the storms. And the truth is, what worked in our life-gardens last season, may not work in the next. That’s why here at The Well-Tended Life Podcast, we interview people who have grown and bloomed true in a variety of seasons and are willing to share their well-tended wisdom and weed-whacking advice with us!This season we are going to talk about: Rest, Fear, Addiction, Busyness, Growth, grief, Friendship, Relationships, Time Management, Self Care, Pivots, Expectations, Wandering, Gratitude, Overcoming, Hard Work, Goals/Intentions, Relationships, Health, Fitness, Change, Secrets, Letting Go, and so much More! So, meet me back here each week and we will dig in together to discover what’s keeping you locked up tighter than The Secret Garden and unearth the tools that will keep you growing and blooming through every season.“Where you tend a rose…a thistle cannot grow.” - The Secret Garden

Episode 38: How to Uproot, Dig In, and Bloom True with Julia Tyson Kissick

May 10, 2023 • Keri Wilt • Season 2 • Episode 38

Why listen? Here are just a few “heart taps” from this episode with JuJu Tyson Kissick of Good JUJU Ink:
1. Remember this: Things can change.
2. Sometimes it takes the people closest to you make you realize that you’re not OK and something needs to change.
3. Sometimes a closed door, is actually permission for you to go and thrive somewhere else.
4. Sometimes you need to grieve and own the place that you’re in right now.
5. It’s ok to admit to yourself that you still like doing things regardless of the outcome, because you like the doing. And the doing is its own journey, it’s own Joy.
6. Grownups need more thing that remind them of that feeling of being a child.
7. Just start. Whatever it is.
8. Friendships are the secret sauce of life.
9. ADHD is a superpower if you can feel free to be yourself and acknowledge what you need and what are not good at and have a safe space to ask for what you need.
10. You cannot do everything
11. Even if the source of illness cannot be changed, you can change the environment around the source of illness or around the person feeling ill to nurture things that can bloom.
