Summary:

Katie is considering a simple but symbolic change: swapping her Facebook cover photo from a picture of her family to one of her art supplies. Amanda reflects on her own process of “refocusing the lens,” both personally and professionally.

Katie talks about her father’s recent funeral, contrasting the compassionate customer service from the funeral home with the cemetery staff that completely ignored their requests. Amanda discusses a challenging garden consultation where she struggled to communicate ideas in a way that truly resonated with the client. Katie points out that people only buy what’s easy to understand, and that applies to both plants and life.

Oh, and Katie tells you EXACTLY what it takes to grow tomatoes so listen up!

Highlights:
