MENGENAI EPISOD INI
I wanted a cut flower garden for three years and did absolutely nothing about it, until I asked myself the question I've been putting to my clients for over a decade: what would be easy? ( £80 and 2 pre-treated wood 'build-your-own' kits later, I had one.)
This is the first of the Season 4 joy experiments, and it's a big one: choosing ease and joy on purpose, and why that's a better engine than discipline.
In this episode:
• The two questions that change the energy you bring to just about everything, and why that energy is so important.
• The dog-training science behind my dislike of the word discipline, drawn from years working with Victoria Stilwell
• The honest caveat about joy vs comfort
• Why frameworks make better scaffolding than gospel, and the human design insight (with Jazze Jervis) that reorganised how I work
• Real "what would be easy" decisions, from the flat-pack flower beds to where values complicate convenience
