Hi Phaedra, thank you for sharing. I can’t even explain how much this video resonates with me!! I’d love to see you continue to grow flowers. I’m in Nova Scotia, Canada and also have a flower farm. Our seasons are opposite and I’m never at the same stage as you, but watching your content during our winter really helps me for my next growing season. Even if you grow fewer flowers watching content about techniques, tips, and tricks is invaluable. Your beautiful gardens can be your teaching space? Always enjoy new videos. Happy to hear you’re on the mend to your joy.❤

I had brain fog with Covid as well and then even worse last year when I had Cancer (Chemo Brain they call it) - it's never fun but does contribute to burn out for sure!! I'm there now with the end of the season winding down!

You have a unique situation with partner landscaping. You could instead focus in landscaping plants and he can charge the customers for them for their gardens

I'm glad you're feeling better! I'm glad that you're taking better care of yourself and that you got some blood work done because what you're describing is similar to me when my iron level or b12 gets low and I hear it can also be caused by low vit D or thyroid.

Cats were always my favourite until I got a greyhound. Now I’m team pets .

Our kids absolutely love our cavoodle, I would have loved a cavalier because the poodle x gives her playfulness and energy where as I prefer our couch potato greyhound . I would never get a lab or retriever too much energy when kids are at school and more expensive to feed and more to clean up after.

Hi Phaedra, I'm so glad that you are on the mend. I was/ or still am in the same boat. Tryed to grow my flowers to teach dyeing wool with fresh flowers, witch I did for 8 years, and then my whole flower garden flooded ths spring for 6 times. I inversted € 700,00 0n flower seeds, plants and tubers, with 5% succes out of it all. Then I desided to teach, for a part, dyeing yarns with mushrooms and lichen, so I ordered mushrooms and lichen for $ 700,00 in the US. I also ordered for € 2000,00 yarns from a mill in the UK for 30 students, but there were 24 students on my list to teach this year, and 22 did not show up, whitout a valuebel reason. BUMMER. I only had 18 students. So in the end this cost me money, and I did not break even. So next year no teaching for me, but I am gonne wright a book about natural dyeing wool, with flowers, mushrooms and lichen and I start knitting again for my 6 grand children, things I did not do the last year.Wish I could come over and give you a BUG HUGGGGG. Take care of yourself, as I will try too ❤❤❤

I am glad you are feeling better. Thanks for sharing your journey I enjoyed the chat with the gorgeous trees in the background.❤🌳 🌻

firstly - so glad you are on the mend and feeling better. long may it continue! secondly - this was so helpful and insightful. sharing how you've navigated changes and challenges helps so many others see the issues in their own lives more clearly. i'm grateful for that. thank you.

Oh my goodness I can relate!! I'm so pleased for you that you have space to breathe and heal now. Life throws these experiences at us. If we can use them to help others it can be powerful. Thank you for sharing and being so reflective and honest about yourself. God bless you ❤

Phaedra, I have the greatest empathy for you. I have experienced Burn-Out 3 times in my life, I'm now 72 and just about catching my breath. I love catching up with you on RUclips and Instagram. If you put out a video or a post - that will be wonderful. If you don't, I will be thinking of you and praying for you and your family. I would like to say that if you only put out a video of you silently pottering / working hard in your garden - that will be wonderful too. ♥

Yes your body IS shutting down to protect itself. And then once your situation becomes safe again it takes a bit to retrain your brain that things are ok again ❤ fortunately lots of good people share how they have recovered and healed

I’ve been feeling like this lately and wondering what on earth was going on with me - it’s not depression, but I dont feel myself and l have no stamina.

I love any video you want to put out, I can watch or listen while I garden, and it's all relatable 😊

This was a lovely sit down, I'm so glad you're seeing a way out of the burn out.

Hi Phaedra, loved this sit down video. I felt like I was just sitting and listening to my friend talk. I just came in from working in the garden and saw you posted. When you do a normal day vlog, I feel like I can almost here your thoughts ticking over😂 Hope you have a great week. Xx.

Hey Phaedra, I'm glad that you are on the mend. Thank you for sharing with us some of what you were going through. Keeping you and your beautiful family in my prayers. God bless 🙏🙏❤

I love watching your videos and knowing you for so many years I know God well bless you both for all your lovely hard work. Love from Nettie

I remember watching you “go go go” before. I’m glad you’re on the mend. I watch YT for help learning things but I also have a few channels where I enjoy the person themselves and hearing about their lives. Yours is one. ❤

Thanks for the video❤ I can definitely relate to the burn out.

We are not born to be slaves to the system. Good on you for going against the grain and doing your own thing. Much love <3

Wow! Thank you 😅

Hey Phaedra, saw this hardy plant that looks like cushion moss, that can handle snow and lots of sun, and thought of you! xx ruclips.net/user/shortsSS4ccBUUTXM?si=x4ygQsYUxADVyGGv

The aerial shots were amazing. I think your house and land look lovely already, magical😊

Kitkat is so beautiful 😊 great video, to learn about the work involved in farming.

🐶 and 🐈‍⬛ over here! We adopted a little runt kitten this summer and have been enjoying the little mini furball and his antics as he gets bigger and stronger. But love dogs too! Good luck keeping the unwanted critters away from the hedge!

😇 hahaha

Hi Phaedra, I love the privacy hedge.. great job, looks beautiful! God Bless you 🐶😻

Those trees are pronounced Pitt Oss Prum. I used to call them the same thing you do until a botanist corrected me.

You are just the sweetest person . Your videos are so peaceful. A boy needs a dog.. and a property just calls for it. What a beautiful life you are creating. 😊 p.s getting very warm here in Brissy. 😊

I cut all mine out of my back yard as they grew massive, had to be hedges all the time and took over my garden bed, which is about 3 meters wide, go with the screening in your garden bed your want regret it

Looks great!! Nicely done!

Team 😺 especially gingers😊

Ha! I’m about to plant the same hedge! I’m in Tassie, where are you guys?

Instead of a hedge of all the same plant, maybe a mixed hedge of trees and shrubs. Mostly evergreens. Flowers shrubs?

What about a feijoa screen, edible 😃

If you are going to get a dog to play with James, get a golden retriever, they are one of the dogs that is most likely to become good friends with cats. We both are team both, except that Bruce is incredibly allergic to cats. When we bought our house on Cortes Island years ago, it came with a 7yr old cat and when she became too old to be an outdoor cat she became an indoor cat and Bruce had to take allergy pills every day. She lived to be 21 and moved to Campbell River with us and our two golden retrievers when she was 20.

🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛😻

Team all animals! The loud purr is deep contentment. Mine sound like trucks when they get and give a snuggle and it fills me with joy. 💕

😻

Team 🐶❤ i do love cats too but i find them such heartbreakers with no road sense.💔 i really do like the look of a Pittosporum hedge they are tough as nails and make fantastic foliage for flower bunches, i have a varigated one called snow leopard and its very pretty... i work at an advanced tree nursery and sell these babies all day everyday my biggest advice for these would be to prune! The ones you put in the ground actually look a little root bound and stressed i would chop them in half (i know scary) but in return they will thicken up and put energy into the bare branches. ❤🎉

🐕

Ooh thankyou for the shout out, I was very surprised this morning 😂 And we are team cat 🐈 but would also love a dog 🐕 😊
