Ep 130 Hannah Maloney - Love, Small Potato Fame & Putting Yourself in The Way of Opportunities

Join Jade and the tall, smiling pink haired  gem as she ponders the many right ways of doing things - when care, intellect & heart goes into the building of skills, earth care & people care we need to honour the effort which is more important than the approach taken. Learn why she actively puts herself in front of opportunities & why she uses her platform as an extension to her duty of care  - "Its not about me its about the issue”  "While I have sadness in me about the heartbreaks happening across the world I choose to actively come back to radical hope. If you care for each other and the world we live in there’s no other option but to weave love and joy into life and weave hope into every single day"References in the convoABC Gardening AustraliaGardening Australia Junior programThe Good Life - Hannahs first bookGood Life Growing - how to grow fruit and veg in any climate in AustraliaDan Palmer futuresteading conversationSupport the showCasual Support - Buy Me A CoffeeRegular Support - PatreonBuy the Book - Futuresteading - Live Like tomorrow mattersShow Notes:The juggle is real - relying on friends to help usNot doing all the things all the timeWhy it’s harder to ask than it is to helpTake time to build deep relationships.
