This episode started with the question:

How do you approach working with clients and understanding their needs and goals?

Suggested reading from this episode: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire

This episode is based on a question I received asking:

What is your design process? (site analysis, implementation, and how you approach a design)

Based on this, I walk through the three phases my design process has evolved through over time: 1. Collecting Everything 2. Refining Focus 3. Educating Clients

In this episode, I talk about something that we don’t address enough: the hard work of Permaculture is boring. It’s not heroic. It doesn’t make for a great YouTube short or video to add to your story. The pictures that come out of it are rarely art, or something you’d want to post to Instagram. I hope this episode reminds you why we show up day after day, week after week, for the small, routine tasks of permaculture. If you found this helpful, share it with a friend who might be struggling on their journey right now, so it can be a bit of encouragement to keep going, even when it’s tedious.

Until the next time, spend each day showing up and putting in the work, as you care for Earth, yourself, and each other.
