What if healing doesn't start with a plan—but with your hands in the soil?
In this debut episode of The Inner Garden Podcast, host Kimberly Bryant shares stories of land-based healing, ancestral wisdom, and emotional restoration from women of color. From Memphis to Nigeria to the Canadian coast, these voices reveal how tending the earth can become a radical act of self-love, grief work, and spiritual grounding.
Listeners will hear:
-
Chioma Aso reconnecting with childlike joy in her grandmother’s Nigerian garden
-
Louise Adongo embracing “riotous” bloom as a form of creative and emotional freedom
-
Mona Doggett Wilson reflecting on her grandfather’s legacy in Orange Mound
-
Karla Monterroso slowing down to find clarity and calm amid chronic illness
-
Rhoda Hickman honoring her mother’s memory through a sacred garden
-
Jenn Ponder sharing ancestral gardening wisdom and the power of community food growing
This is not a podcast about hustle. It’s a space for healing, memory, and ritual—offering grounding practices and gentle reminders that growth begins underground.
