The Nurture Pod
A podcast that questions our current culture's consensus reality and opens a space to dream something new into being. Iris Sullivan Daire (artist, writer, teacher) and Ginger Edwards (mindset coach, owner of North Fork 53 retreat center) host from their small rural communities on the Oregon coast. They move from playful conversations to deep dives into how life could be on planet Earth if we allowed ourselves to dream into a new way of relating to ourselves and with each other rooted in the magic of nature.
