IT’S AN AGE-OLD STORY

When we planned the garden, we didn’t just plant everything together.

Tomatoes grow better with basil.

Marigolds protect the soil.

Carrots and onions support each other underground.

Healthy growth depends on the environment.

Life works the same way.

Not everyone belongs in your optimal growth environment. Some people nurture your expansion… others quietly drain the soil.

On International Women’s Day, I’m especially grateful for the women who understand this — the ones who protect the garden, strengthen the roots, and help each other grow.

It’s an age-old lesson:

be intentional about who you allow in your garden.
