You Are a Gardener® Podcast Interview: Shanna Truffini on The Salty Ginger Talk 🎧

We’re thrilled to share a new collaboration that’s helping the You Are a Gardener® message grow even farther! In this You Are a Gardener podcast interview, Shanna Truffini, creator and founder of You Are a Gardener®, joins Joe Canfield, host and founder of Salty Ginger Talk, for a heartfelt conversation titled “From Weeds to Seeds: Growing Through Life’s Challenges.”


Man and woman in separate video chat windows for "Salty Ginger Talk Interview." Blue, white, and orange theme with text overlay and fox graphic.

In this inspiring interview, Shanna and Joe dig into themes of discipline, inner strength, and living with purpose. Together, they explore how adopting the gardener mindset helps “gardeners of all ages” turn life’s weeds (challenges) into seeds (opportunities for growth).

The conversation also shines a light on the empowering gardening tools we can use to navigate life’s challenges—like awareness, compassion, curiosity, and courage. Shanna and Joe discuss how these tools help us stay rooted in calm, dig into our passions, and uncover the deeper purpose that helps us grow from the inside out.


Through her book, school assemblies, and the #PullYourWeeds® movement, Shanna continues to make emotional wellness fun, visual, and deeply relatable. This collaboration is a beautiful reminder that when gardeners come together to share their stories of growth, it helps others see that they can bloom too.


✨ Whether you’re a parent, teacher, entrepreneur, or simply someone looking for mindful ways to face life’s challenges, this conversation will leave you hopeful and empowered.
