Summary

The Flower Never Opens Wrong If you’ve missed the style of some of the original conversations with coaches on this podcast - you’ll love this episode! One of my favourite people in this profession, Richard Morgan, returns to the podcast around 7 years after his first appearance, and he’s as grounded and loving as ever. In this episode, we explore: • From trying to being • Energy over productivity • Art, creativity, and the inner critic • Marriage, polarity, and showing up • Dogs, systems, and emotional steadiness • Experience as the real teacher • The only thing between you and what you want • “The flower never opens wrong.” This was a rather lovely conversation about how to live well on an ordinary Tuesday, when there’s work to do, emotions to feel, and love to practice. Here’s a little more about Richard: Our work is about today. What will you make of it? Richard's extensive background in horticulture and its metaphors gained him the moniker "Gardener of the Human Spirit." It fits. When we look to our own nature, we find the same power and beauty that exists in all of nature — and like any garden, we grow best when we clear away what doesn't belong. For over two decades he has worked with executives, entrepreneurs, athletes, artists, and professionals across industries. Whether the work is navigating high-stakes decisions or untangling the relationship patterns that shape every area of life, the conversation always arrives at the same place: celebrating how much further you've come than you ever thought possible and how much possibility is ahead. At the heart of it all is you — as wholeness. Operating from one authentic center rather than the fragmentation of competing roles and expectations. Most people don't hesitate because they doubt the coaching process. They hesitate because they doubt themselves. That's exactly where the work begins — and exactly what changes first.
