Episode Overview

This episode is a heartfelt solo show hosted by Brie Garcia, as Nikki is away with her son Mateo ticking off “hot air balloons in Albuquerque” from his five-year-old bucket list. Brie uses this space to reflect on the recent passing of legendary conservationist Jane Goodall, sharing how Goodall’s lessons of curiosity, compassion, and kindness have inspired her personally and shaped her gardening journey and YouTube series, “Hi, My Name is Bri.” The episode explores themes of environmental consciousness, finding soulful fulfillment, and the importance of small, loving actions. Brie answers listener gardening questions and closes with encouragement to pause, connect with nature, and pursue your own meaningful difference in the world.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Context: Brie Flies Solo (01:53)

• Nikki is away for her son’s birthday wish, so Brie takes the reins solo.
• Upcoming episodes will reunite the sisters and include Philly weekend recaps.

2. Honoring Jane Goodall (03:00–13:13)

• Brie is deeply moved by the recent loss of Jane Goodall, a “beautiful soul.”
• She recounts the famous footage of Jane Goodall embracing a released chimpanzee in Tanzania:

  “He looks at her and he gives her the most beautiful, sincere hug you could ever visually see... so much love and respect in that hug.” (04:55)

• Goodall’s legacy? Teaching that humans, animals, and planet are interconnected:

  “We’re part of [nature]. We’re not apart. ... Human being, animal, and planet. … We all have to connect to truly thrive.” (06:06)

• Goodall’s voice was quiet, yet “loud”—she inspired through patience and observation, urging people to simply “go sit and observe,” wherever you are.
• Brie highlights how Jane made science accessible and empathetic, putting “hope into action.”

3. The Power of Curiosity (09:25–13:13)

• Jane’s encouragement of curiosity was transformative for Brie’s approach to life and sustainability.
  • Curiosity led Brie to research what she consumes—leather, food, pesticides—prompting a more environmentally conscious lifestyle.

  “There’s a beauty to being curious, and then there’s a bigger beauty to diving into your curiosity.” (10:35)

• Brie’s ongoing curiosity is core to her personal and public journey:

  “I never stopped diving into that curiosity, researching, teaching myself, learning, just learning, learning, learning. And I’m actually really proud where I’m at.” (11:18)

4. Bringing Compassion Into Daily Life (13:13–17:00)

• Jane Goodall inspired small, local acts of compassion, not just grand gestures.
• Brie’s mantra: Everyone can make a difference—start at home, be it by tending a garden, protecting pollinators, or supporting community projects.

  “She didn’t need you to go to the forest of Africa to feel like you’re making a change. ...She really encouraged you to do the small things.” (13:25)

• Brie shares a story about her community and the “rockstar” mailman as an example of everyday human compassion.
• True soul nourishment comes from connection with nature and others, not material possessions:

  “What will feed your soul is going to a park bench, sitting, listening to the birds, hearing people laugh.” (16:08)

5. Practical Gardening Encouragements (17:00–23:00)

• Brie challenges listeners: Take 10 minutes this week, no phone, just observe nature—see what you hear and what curiosity sparks.
• Reminds listeners: You can't save everyone, and that's okay. Focus on doing your personal best.

  “I’m just Bri...I can only do my best, and my best is good enough.” (23:30)

• Brie’s mission is to be an “Earth warrior,” using her platforms for environmental causes.

6. Finding Joy & Meaning in the Holidays (27:31–29:09)

• The holidays are an opportunity to reconnect, practice gratitude, and focus on family rather than consumerism:

  “Who gives a shit about gifts and all the different things? It’s really about who do I need to see? Who do I need to reconnect with? What do I need to be thankful for?” (28:24)

• Brie encourages celebrating youthful joy (like trick-or-treating, dressing up) and reflecting on the blessings of the year.

7. Lessons in Kindness and Influence (29:40–31:00)

• Jane Goodall taught Brie that strength can come from loving, kind words—not anger.

  “You don’t have to have fighting words to make something feel strong. ...You can make a lot of change with just loving, kind words.” (29:43)

• Brie aspires to inspire through kindness and happiness, led by example.

8. Q&A: Gardening with Brie (31:30–41:55)

What Makes Your Garden Special? (31:30–33:58)

• “The love I put into it...[my] daughter singing to the tomatoes, the kids with their hands in the dirt, neighbors helping out…it’s a place of connection.”

Soil for Gardens (38:56–40:35)

• Brie uses organic soil mixed with compost—tells amusing stories about her learning curve. Emphasizes local nurseries and worms as signs of healthy soil.

Easiest Plants to Grow (40:35–41:15)

• Tomatoes, peppers, lettuce. Struggles more with root veggies like carrots and onions.

Gardening in Hot Climates Like AZ (41:15–45:00)

• Use shade and freeze cloths, pick region-appropriate plants, citrus does well, consider greenhouses for tropical fruits.

Supporting Drainage with Recycled Materials (46:35–48:00)

• Brie hasn’t needed to use cans/bottles, but knows people who do—reminds gardeners that good drainage is key.

9. Listener Challenge & Call to Action (48:00–51:01)

• Encourages everyone to try at least 10 minutes of silence and observation in nature—journal if inclined—and see what curiosity or inspiration emerges.
• Recommends Jane Goodall’s The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times by Jane Goodall & Douglas Abrams.

10. Closing Inspiration (51:01–51:30)

• Brie shares a signature Jane Goodall quote:

  “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” — Jane Goodall (51:25)

[A]

So.

[B]

That's right. It's a Bree solo episode. You know, Nikki is in Albuquerque right now. Mateo, for being five years old, he has a bucket list. And number one on that bucket list was seeing all the hot air balloons float across the sky in Albuquerque. So Nikki took them straight there. So she's there watching hundreds of hot air balloons soar through the sky, which I hear is a magnificent site. So she will be with us at the end of this week and her and I are actually going to be recording an episode out of the SiriusXM studios in Los Angeles. We're doing a live and we're very excited because we'll be not only recapping Philadelphia because, you guys, I am finally recovering Holy moly. That weekend took a lot out of me. But we also have a really fun, fun episode in Stored for All of you. So the chaos will be back on Monday. But today I'm actually really excited. You know, at first when I was thinking about doing a solo episode, I'm like, what am I gonna do? I just feel like I share so much of my life. I'm like, I don't know what else. And then I was like, you know what? I know exactly what I'm gonna talk about. You know, Last week on October 1st, we lost a really beautiful soul here in the world, Jane Goodall. And for a lot of you who don't know, I'm sure you saw so many posts celebrating the life of Jane and probably started to do your research, be like, who is she? And then I'm sure a lot of you know who Jane Goodall is. For some of you who don't, we're going to go in today how Jane has inspired me not only to find compassion and in animals and nature, because I feel like that was always kind of distilled in me and I've always had a green heart, but how she really inspired me to go more than just loving animals in nature, to get my hands dirty, to respect nature, to respect animals, and further than that, to use my voice to protect them and bring awareness. And Jane Goodall, if you. For a lot of you, there's a very famous image and video footage of her. And in Tanzania, where you see her releasing. It's her and other scientists releasing a chimpanzee. And look, I already have goosebumps. And you see this chimpanzee slowly walk into the forest and he turns around. Every time I see this footage, it literally brings tears to my eyes. It probably will right now. He slowly turns around and he walks back to Jane. No words spoken. Obviously, we don't speak chimpanzee. I don't know, you know, vice versa. But he looks at her and he gives her the most beautiful, sincere hug you could ever visually see. Ever. I am talking. I have never seen a hug like that given between any other humans, animals. And this hug was shared between a human being and an animal. And to see Jane's face in that moment and to see that chimpanzee's face, there was so much love and respect in that hug because he was so grateful for what Jane did for him. And she was so grateful that that chimpanzee turned around and gave her one last little bit of love and hope that she could then walk away and take and start to make even bigger change in the world. And, you know, I think that footage, if I'm not mistaken. I think that was like the 70s or 80s. I mean, it was a while ago. Could have even been the 90s. But, you know, from then on, Jane, you know, not only did she do a lot with chimpanzees and animals, but it was her work started to go further than that. It was, you know, she started to really get into nature, the planet, becoming an activist for, you know, all of it. And the one thing that I always loved, that she kept reminding all of us is that we're a part of nature. We're part of it. We're not apart. We're not separate. We are part of it. Like it is human being, animal and planet. And we all have to connect to truly thrive, all of us, everyone. And I loved it because the way that she came at it, I feel like everyone felt this with Jane is Jane had one of the quietest, loudest voices you had ever heard. Her quietness is that she really wanted you to observe, have patience, and feel nature. You know, Jane was really great about always telling people to just go sit and observe. You could even sit in your backyard, sit 10 minutes and observe. And what do you see? What do you hear? So I always felt like Jane's lessons, the things she would speak about, always came from a really beautiful place. The one thing that I really loved about her is that she made science not feel like science. She was a scientist who showed empathy. She put hope into action, into research. I mean, she was definitely one of those people who gave a deeper meaning to nature and animal. And I think through her love, her hope, and her patience, she definitely started to create global change. You know, with someone like myself and millions of other people like me. I felt like we all kind of started to do the Jane process. I felt like the number one thing was the curiosity. You know, Jane, when she was a young girl, she always loved animals in nature, but she was a dreamer, and she definitely was someone who would talk about that. You're capable of living your dreams. Get curious. You're curious. Go figure it out, Find it. And I really love that, like, the way she would really hone in on curiosity. And I feel like for someone like myself, I had so much curiosity and gardening and nature and animals. So I started to dabble into it. I started doing my research. I started to understand, oh, my gosh, where's leather coming from? Wait, where's my food coming from? Like, what's factory farming? What's, you know, pesticides? Like, I started to do the research. I started to get curious, and my Curiosity started to give me a healthier lifestyle. It started to open up my eyes that, wait, I'm not living as one to keep this planet more green or, or surviving. Instead, I'm living individual and to where my living is killing off the other connections that are part of keeping this planet thriving. So, you know, when she always talked about curiosity and diving into your curiosity, I think sometimes we're all too tired or too busy to do that. But there's a beauty to being curious and then there's a bigger beauty to diving into your curiosity. So I always loved how she was and I feel like at 41 years old, you all started to see me on live television. At 28, I think I was 28 on Total Divas being I was a hippie and everyone started to see that and my curiosity started before that. So I was kind of already in the motion when I started to film a reality show. But I think of where I'm at at 41, I never stopped diving into that curiosity, researching, teaching myself, learning, just learning, learning, learning. And I'm actually really proud where I met where I'm at now. I mean, start a YouTube series. Hi, my name is Bri, which at the end of this episode, I'm getting into your guys questions. You guys sent some really great questions, questions. And I'm also going to lead you into how by being inspired like someone like Jane. I created this YouTube series that's thriving, doing great, and I feel like making the change that I want to see in the world. And that's just, that's so incredible. Nikki, why is it that every time 4pm comes around, I feel like I'm scrambling to make dinner? It's like I never know what I'm going to make, what's in my fridge. I feel always lost and confused around dinner time.

You know, one thing that I absolutely loved about her and I feel like so many of you did. I mean, I, I couldn't believe all the posts I saw celebrating her. It was just so beautiful. But is that she really brought compassion into daily life. Like for her. She didn't need you to go to the forest of Africa to feel like you're making a change. She actually really wanted you to tend to your garden, to practice protecting pollinators. She wanted you to choose sustainable foods. Like there was. It was more than just doing big things. She really encouraged you to do the small things, which is what I I why I started. Hi, my name is Bri. I wanted you all to see if I could do it. A pro wrestler reality star can get in her backyard and get a little dirty and educate myself. Well, then you all can definitely do it. Hey, I'm not the smartest tool in the shed, let me tell you. I struggled in school. I was average student. I got Cs. Literally. My parents, like they knew A's not happening. If I got a B, I was celebrated. That was like badass. But I was, I was C student. I. School was hard on me. Not the smartest person. I like to say I'm street smart. So always what I say, like, give me that cred. But you know, I instead, I feel like if zombies were going to attack America, you all better come to my house because I will protect you. I feel like I could beat up some zombies. I know how to grow some food. So I got some really great life skills. And I think, honestly, that's so important. So when I started, hi, my name is Bri. I kind of felt like Jane in these ways. I wanted to show you that every day we can live with compassion not only for human beings. So going to the coffee shop, saying hello, even like, I know my mailman. My mailman's like the rock star of our community. He's so incredible and we all care about each other. Like, he will be like, tell me when you're leaving. I will, you know, keep onto your stuff till you get home. Or he'll ask him about the kids. I literally was riding my bicycle the other day and I saw him and I like waved real big and he's like, and like, he's our mailman, but he is one of the most important people in our community. He is always smiling, he is always playing some loud music, which I actually appreciate because I'm like, guy is living and he knows everybody's name, he knows your kids names, he knows everything we're all up to. And his mission is to not only keep our males safe, but. But to make sure we're all smiling. And I swear, the day that he would ever go, it would be devastating. So not only showing compassion to humans, when, let me tell you, if you do that, you will soar, but compassion in your everyday lives, when it comes to nature, to animal, I mean, you could literally do that. Even if you live in an apartment, even if you live in a big house, wherever you are, it does not matter. And I think when people talk about feeding your soul, I'll be honest, not buying a car, not buying those shoes, even if they're on sale, not going to Target for hours and buying stuff that means nothing. None of that will feed your soul. What will feed your soul is going to a park bench, sitting, listening to the birds, hearing people laugh, going. And just even if you don't have a garden going to, there's community gardens, there's. I will tell you this, a lot of schools that need people to help with their gardens. I've already gotten phone calls. And just being out there with, you know, even if you don't have an animal, because animals can cost money and it's hard on people's schedules going to any place, any rescue place to play with the dog for 30 minutes or take those dogs on a walk. All of that will feed your soul, I promise you. And if you're looking for something like that, research, it is incredible how you can get on Google and find quickly what rescue centers are by you. Community gardens, even, like, botanical gardens, whatever it may be, parks and those like you. Research and you go to those places, you will feel different. And you give yourself time to be in silence and just let your body decompress and not think and not work. Do absolutely nothing. Nothing, to me is the number one thing that will literally enlighten you. Just do nothing. I think we're just in such a society today, we constantly feel like we have to do something. Like, we don't. We don't at all. We're actually. We should be doing more of nothing than more of everything, honestly. But yeah. So someone like Jane really did inspire me to get to the place I'm at now with, hi, my name is Bri. And, you know, the one thing is I do, you know, always want you guys to get out there and start your own gardens. And. And I am having in some future episodes, I'm going to teach you how you can do a very cheap garden out of a gallon bucket. I'm gonna have some little tricks come here shortly on. Hi, my name is Bri. Because, you know, so many people will be like, I don't have the space. I don't have the room. And with the, you know, cold coming up, especially for all you east coasters and in the north, all of you guys, you can start mini little gardens in your kitchen or in a pantry or actually really anywhere where you have a window where some sun comes through. We can get some seeds planted and slowly start to grow something through the winter. But I just. I really want to challenge all of you to go out and just sit and, you know, I'm always big in journaling and take your journal maybe out there, but you don't have to. And sit for 10 minutes. Wouldn't it be just nice to sit for 10 minutes with no phone? Don't bring your phone with you. Just sit and listen and observe and really write down or, you know, put it in your memory bank, whatever you'd like to do and, like, really think about what you're hearing. Now, some of you are in a sitting room and be like, I hear those cabs, which, I'm sorry, because that kind of noise can get to me. But maybe try to, you know, challenge yourself and find a place of peace and quiet. There's a lot of places in Central Park I've been to that is very peaceful and very quiet. But, you know, for any of you who just want to sit in your backyard or walk to park, whatever, I really challenge you this week to just sit 10 minutes, write down just what you hear, understand it, get curious, and then dive into that curiosity. You know, obviously, maybe not everyone has a green heart like me, but I do feel like something's going to spark in you that you're going to. You want to know more about, and that's what's important. Like, you might not want to start to be an advocate for, you know, nature or animals, but there might be something else there and that your heart is telling you. And I think that's what's important. I think every time I garden and a lot of. I don't bring my phone out unless I want to do some footage for all of you. But when I'm out there, I just. I think. And the thinking comes from such a deep place in me, and I'm not thinking about what I need to get at the grocery store or, you know, what the kids need. I think about more my needs, like, what I need and where I'm at in life. Did I make myself a little too busy this month? Next month? Should we slow it down? Holidays are coming up. I start to think, like, okay, for the family, like, where does it make sense for us to be? You know, I think about Brian, and I am like, oh, you know, Brian and I haven't had a minute alone. Like, maybe we should do something. Oh, you know, I just start to think about what will nourish my relationships, my life, and then I kind of just go from there. And so I want all of you to do that, because I feel like you're going to be inspired in some way. You're going to be curious about something. You're going to dive into it. You know, I feel like all of us in the last couple months have been overwhelmed with just heavy things, and I think it's time that we start to release it. We don't need, you know, and so many people need to hear this. We can't rescue everyone and everything. We can't. It's not possible. And when I was growing up, all I Ever heard was what was ever on the local news and in our newspapers. Social media was not around until it didn't come into my life till my late twenties. I never knew a lot of things I didn't know a lot. And for me, I only heard whatever, you know, was a big subject at the time or my parents told me or a friend. But what I'm trying to say is I was able to be disconnected a lot. And I think that's important is to disconnect. If you're someone who falls into those dark holes of just all the different theories and all the different things going on, shut it off. Give yourself a week to shut everything off. Go sit in quietness. Go listen to the birds, See the bees pollinate, Hear the hummingbirds fly around as they play tag in between the trees. You need to disconnect from all the sadness and find your happiness. And if you feel like you don't know what that is, that means because you're not allowing yourself. So you gotta go get nature. Just go get it. And so I have to remind myself a lot, especially because I'm someone with the platform. So I always feel the pressures. I gotta save everyone, save everything. I'm the voice for all. But I'm not. I'm just Bri, who's a wife and a mom. I'm still trying, you know, to do certain things in my life. I work hard, but at the end of the day, I'm one person, and I'm just gonna do what I can do. Brian always would tell me, you can only do your best, and your best is good enough. Bri. And he was 100% right. And he still, to this day, is right. Like, I can only do my best. And I let go of pressure. I let go of all the things I feel like I should be doing. And I'm like, you know what? I'm an Earth warrior. I feel like I was put on this planet to fight for the earth, and that is my path, and that is how I always look at everything. And that's why every time you'll come onto my platforms, that's my biggest voice, because that's how I feel like my heart beats truly.

[A]

All right, everyone. I feel like Bri and I talk a lot about confidence on the Nikki and Bri show, how that truly comes within. But I do got to say, especially being on TV every week, a good bra always helps with confidence.

And I always became known as the girl that didn't wear bras is I always hated how you could see it, how you would get that kind of side, you know, the lumps. It wasn't cold. Complimentary, I should say. So I have to say I've been loving the no Side Effects bra because there's nothing better than wearing a bra. But everything looks really smooth.

For whatever happens next. Grab Kleenex So all of you get into that spot, especially with the holidays coming up and life gets really crazy. Let's just let go of a lot of things. Let's disconnect, let go, get into a good place. And also remember that the holidays is not a time to overspend, overeat, overall, do all the things. It's instead time to reconnect, time to find joy. And what I feel blessed in, you know, a season of, like, getting dressed up and going trick or treating and whether you have kids or not. I used to do it with my friends. I didn't go trick or treating, but get dressed up and have fun. Like, it's a time to be youthful, have fun. Then, you know, you have Thanksgiving coming up, and that's the time that's all about reconnecting with family, being grateful for whatever the year has brought you. And re looking at that. And then you get into, you know, Hanukkah, Christmas, all these beautiful holidays that all these different religions have to offer. And once again, it's a time for you in this season to stop everything you're doing and just remember what's the most important thing in life. And that's family, and it's love and it's laughter, and it's those connections, and that's what the holidays truly are about. Who gives a shit about gifts and all the different things? It's really about who do I need to see? Who do I need to reconnect with? What do I need to be thankful for?

[A]

You know, last night I was so tired.

[B]

Oh, my gosh. But I was so. I just was like, I'm so blessed and so grateful for the fun I bring in my life. I just. I feel like maybe it's the energy I put out there, but I always feel like I'm having fun and I meet the most interesting people and, you know, I just. I feel like it's so great to shout it, shout it out. Like, lucky I'm blessed. Like, thank you. You know, it's. It's good to get excited about that. And I mean, because you guys all saw. I was in Philadelphia, like, I had a lot of pinch me moments, a lot of pinch me moments being at the Phillies and Eagles game, which we'll get into on Monday's episode. But, you know, I just. I want you all to feel that. And I. I feel the big thing with Jane's life, and she lived a beautiful life. She was 91. And it reminded me of my grandma, mother, you. You're so sad to lose someone who's just Filled with love and just kindness. That was like my grandmother. You're just like, you don't want to lose this person. You want this person to leave Earth because all they do is just love and lead with kindness. And you're like, how great is that? And so even though she lived 91 years, she's going to be greatly missed, and there is going to be a big void for a while in that world that she really stood, you know, strong in. And before I get into questions, if there's, you know, one thing I could say about, you know, the. How Jane inspired me is she really taught me that you don't. You don't have to have fighting words to make something feel strong, like strength and power. And all these things don't have to be mean. They don't have to come from this, like, mean, like, mad, angry side. Instead, you can make a lot of change with just loving, kind words. And that's what I always appreciated about her. And it's the way that I always want to inspire others. It's the way I want to live my life. I don't want to be mad, and I don't want to yell, and I don't want to debate, and I don't want to get angry. I understand people come from all different walks of life, but if I can let them in a little bit of my life that I'm walking right now and show them that I wake up happy every day, and it's not because I have anything of material things they want. It's literally because I wake up with love and happiness and I'm filled with kindness, and that takes you around really long way. And so it was the one thing Jane inspired me the most. You don't need to make change in this world from an angry, mean place. You can actually inspire so many people just by having a very loving, kind heart. And so I hope you take that all away, too. So we had some fun fan questions come in for. Hi, my name is Bri. I'm actually very honored. And another thing I'm blessed for is that what you all been liking it. Let me tell you, I didn't know. And now I'm starting to work with this, like, garden expert. His name's Tony Grosskale. He actually helped me out a lot in Arizona. But, you know, as I've been doing these episodes, I hit him up and I was like, hey, you know, can we do some sessions together? Because you just know so much about gardening, and you always blew me away. That I'd love, like, for you to start coaching me in some stuff and giving me tips. And so it was really fun. We had this session, and we really, you know, I learned actually a lot that you guys will start to see on. Hi, my name is Bri. But it's been really fun, you guys, and I'm liking that you're feeling that. All right, so first question from. Well, you know, I always feel bad saying the at. Like, sometimes I know people like it, but then if you don't, I don't know. But here we go at John Bailey, 2452. And he asked, what would you say makes your garden special? Oh, my gosh. No one's ever asked me that. That's actually a really great, great question. And I will say, what makes my garden special is the love I put into it. I honestly am always like, how much tomato? Right now people are starting to clean up their garden beds because they're getting ready for the season, coming, prepping and all that. I am still growing a crazy amount of tomatoes, crazy amount of peppers. And I'm talking bell peppers, jalapenos, chishito, peppers, what other peppers? I got all the peppers and all my squash, my pumpkins. I mean, you guys, apples, you name it, pears, figs. And I'm like, is it because my daughter goes around literally birdie all the time singing to them, and then, you know, my kids are running around and their little hands are always touching the soil, and then I am. And there's just a constant love around our gardens. And yesterday I had neighbors over, and one of their little son, he wanted to help me. So I go, I would love that. So we were in there cleaning up the tomatoes and getting tomatoes for the chickens, and he was helping me with the bell peppers and. And his cute little curiosity with the gardens. And he went in, and I was so happy because he helped me feed the chickens. But then he found an egg. And when you're. He's four. When you're four and you find an egg that a chicken laid, I mean, it is like Christmas day. And it was the cutest thing. And to see his. I mean, his eyes are so precious. To see them light up. And he got ahold it. And even the way he fed the chickens, you know, was absolutely incredible. And I was. I was complimenting him because he was so gentle in the garden, and he was like, the way we would snip and how he wanted to hold everything. But that's why I think my garden's special because there's constant love and. And just Like, a connection in there. It's like almost my gardens can feel. Feel that we know we're at one with them. They. They have given me so much life, the way I give them life. Like, we give each other life. And I think that's what makes it special. As you all know from our social platforms that we were just in Paris, France, but Nikki and I wanted to do something really different this trip. We wanted to feel like locals. And I have to say, Nikki, the apartment you picked out, oh, my goodness, it was spectacular.

[A]

I have to say, you couldn't get the views that we got at a hotel unless you were paying outrageous prices. We had incredible views, and I have to say, it kept me with my health and wellness game. But I also got to dive into fun. I had so much comfort. It was like, not only did we get a feel like home in this gorgeous apartment, but we got to dive into the culture of Paris.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

We get to go home. We get to wake up, make our own coffee, just go out on our patio. Look at this incredible history. It was just the best. I don't think Bri could ever do Paris the same way again. It has to be with Airbnb.

[B]

I think my highlight of my time there is when we went to the farmer's market, the really famous French one. And then I came home and made this delicious dinner with all this fresh produce. I mean, I felt like I was living in a movie. It was incredible.

[A]

And for me, who was working out a lot, I have to say, what was incredible was being able to do my laundry and then make coffee, open up the windows and literally have a chair right there and just be staring at one of my favorite parts of Paris right there on the patio.

[B]

I mean, game over. When are we going back? Oh, my gosh. But the best part is, is that sometimes when you're in your travels, especially in Paris, you might spend a lot of money. Which is why I love how you can host on Airbnb. I mean, it's such a smart way to make a little extra income. You can put it towards future travel, home improvement, or that fun splurge item you've been eyeing.

[A]

That's right. I mean, there's nothing greater than hosting your home on Airbnb. And you know what? Finding a little piece home while you travel always makes a trip super special. Your home could be that for someone else.

[B]

So true. Your home might be worth more than you think.

Next question at Thomas snap snappy snappy 1996 remember when I said I wasn't good in school? So don't get mad, all right. What type of soil do you use in your garden? So this is what's really interesting. My garden beds. One I use organic soil mixed with compost and I've had them mulched. But I will tell you, when it comes to your garden beds, there is a big sign to know you have healthy soil worms. If you cannot dig couple little digs with your hands and see worms. I don't know if you have healthy soil. So the most important thing is that we all live in different areas of how we grow things. So what I do in Northern California is not going to be the same as what someone does in Arizona and Minnesota and New York. So you got to find your local nursery. They are going to have the best soils for whatever area you live in. And you also, I believe everything has to be organic. Unfortunately in today's world things are mixed organic mix and then mixing it with compost. So my beds, I mean you have to understand I'm out there all the time but I they're constantly mixed. And Brian and I and when we first moved to Northern California we started to grow some stuff. Well we realized our soil was. We had four garden beds already. They were already there, hard, dry. And when we would like, dig in there. We saw rocks and no sign of worms, so we had to empty them all out. And then we resoiled them up. We did organic soil, we did compost. We got them all healthy. I. Sometimes, if I. There was so one of my garden beds, I noticed it didn't grow as much as it did the season prior. So that's interesting. So then I did my banana tea. I put eggshells in there. I chopped up banana peels. So there's definitely what I call soil snacks. And if you go to. Hi, my name is Bria. I have an episode on it that you can get into your soil. I also went to my local nursery, and I was picking the brains of the people, and I'm like, I just need, like, some nutrients. I think it needs some nutrients. So, sure enough, I got this, like, little plant food bag, and definitely it was geared towards what I was going to plant in there, so vegetables. And I put it in there, and I swear that helped. You can also, if you want, buy some worms. So if you're feeling like you're not seeing it, but, you know, I. You gotta. I just always recommend everyone, your local nursery is going to have what's right in your area. So do that. It's worth the trip. And let me tell you, all the people who are working there. Some are volunteers who just want to talk about gardening. I have learned more from the volunteers at these nurseries or even the people that work there than any. I was going to say YouTube video, but. But honestly, any video you'll see online, go to people who are, like, in it. It's amazing. And if you see me at the nursery, just pick my brain. All right, Bri, which plants do you find are the easiest to grow? For some reason, for me, I have never, ever had an issue with tomatoes and peppers. This is, like, my greatest season in growing. And I don't know if it's because of the climate I'm in, but I've never. And lettuce. I can grow a lot of kale, chard, even my butter lettuce came in beautifully. I was like, oh, my gosh. Can someone please give me an award for how perfect these heads are? Those have always been my easiest ones that I've struggled with. Is a lot of, like, your rooted plants. So, like, things like garlic, carrots. Gosh, what else? I mean, you name it. Those ones have always been a little harder for me. And even, like, my carrots, it's weird, every time I plant them, one year I'll have big Carrots. Another year I'll have, like, tiny carrots. Like, I never know what I'm gonna get. And then, like, I planted onions and, like, one grew and I planted a bunch, and I was like, so weird. So I've always had issues with those types. But other than that, I mean, lettuce, tomatoes, and peppers are like, my thing, so. All right. At Bella Twins Worlds best advice for growing fruits and veggies in the hot AZ sun. Oh, my gosh. Well, one citrus thrives in heat. We're so lucky. And which is why in Arizona, you see all the citrus. So if you like citrus, you're, you know, you're golden. But as well say because living in Arizona, we. You have to get sheets. So Brian and I were really good at when we knew there was going to be. Because this is what's weird about the desert. People don't realize you can either also get a freeze or the sun can be really harsh. So Brian and I always had standby sheets to cover our plants with freeze. And also we had these shade things. So we would shade our fruit trees, we'd shade our garden beds if we knew the sun would be too strong. Also there, if you once again go to, like, your local nursery, you want to get local trees. There are trees, like thriving fruit trees and different vegetables for the desert. And so Brian and I actually grew a lot of food in Phoenix. We did so great. So it's finding the right ones. Now I'm, you know, people are like, I want to have an avocado tree. We're not going to have an avocado tree in Arizona, unfortunately. Now, it was funny because someone told me what could be really good for places like California, Arizona, if you have a greenhouse, is with. You can get it humid and in there you can have avocado mango tree, maybe even a pineapple tree. But you also need to make sure it doesn't get too hot. But if you, you know, really want to get, like, into it, make a greenhouse almost like a humidity house and have some fun, I'm going to actually try that. Not obviously during the winter, but come the spring, I'm. I'm going to see if I can do it. But yeah, so I mean, you'll. Now, I hope you like oranges, lemons, grapefruits, because that you'll kill it. But we actually, we grew a lot. So I just check out which are best for the desert and really make sure to have sheets and shades. They saved Brian and I from that sun and from the freezes that you can get in the wintertime in Arizona. All right, this is our last question. Do you use recycling, like cans and bottles in the bottom of your planers to support drainage? So I don't, because I don't need that. But I have seen a lot of people do that, and that's actually incredible. So you can for sure do that. I've been lucky enough. I don't need to. And I think, you know, a lot of people don't realize this gardening. And you just actually gave me an idea for an episode. But drainage is super important when you're growing food you do not want. You know, I think a lot of times people will plant flowers in pots and they go, why do they keep dying? Well, you might not be. The water might not be draining. So it is just a ton of water just sitting in there. So sometimes you have to really look and see if things are getting over watered. Brian put this planner together. Our pumpkins were struggling. So what we realized. And this was happening. Gosh, July, July. So we're talking summer. Well, they were being over watered because you think he let's overwater it. So we didn't water the pumpkins for two weeks. And I am not kidding you, they started to thrive. So what we realized is our pumpkins, because our drainage wasn't good, only needed water once every two weeks. So drainage is actually so important when it comes to growing food, to having your pots with those pretty flowers. And also I do want to put this in. It is fall, so we all go for the mums because they look like fall. But make sure to get your pollinating flowers in there too. Bees are still alive. Hummingbirds, all of them. And they would appreciate still some pollinate pollinators instead of just the mums because they do not get anything from moms. But yeah, thank you, M.K. abby, because I think I need to do an episode on. Hi, my name is Bri. About drainage. I love that. Well, everyone, I hope you enjoyed this episode. You know, I know I challenged you to go out there this week and sit in nature for at least 10 minutes and really just hear what your soul is curious about. Please do it. You know, I just, I can't tell you enough what. What that will do to you. And just remember, like, what feeds your soul? It's nothing on the treats you eat. Maybe an alcohol beverage, shopping, whatever you feel like makes you happy within five minutes. It's not that truly feeding your soul is being in silence, quietness and really figuring out what you need. So please, I recommend. And if you do not know who Jane is. Goodall is a book I actually am starting. So Brian loved this book, and I always saw it, but I, you know, I'm always into my own books. But when Jane passed away last week, I told Brian, I'm like, oh, where's that one book you have on Jane? And it's called the Book of Hope. Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams. And it's a survival guide for trying times. Brian was obsessed with this book, and so I recommend it for all of you. You know, the one thing, it doesn't matter what you believe in, honestly, where you come from. Jane stood. Her message is more. There's more to her life she lived than just helping animals and the planet. Yes, she stood for that. But if you take a really deep dive into Jane, you will learn quickly about kindness, hope, and that dreams do come true. And that if you truly want change in this world, you yourself have to be active in that change you want to see. And so for someone like me, if I can just give one person a little hope, to love animals and to believe in sustainability and gardening and that it is very important for us to learn to grow our own food, then I feel like I've done it all. Okay, everyone, so for my inspiration affirmation today, it has to come from Jane herself. And I absolutely love this quote, and I feel like it's one you'll see everywhere. But what you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make. So that's up to all of you. And I hope when you're sitting in that 10 minutes of silence, of just peacefulness, you find out what difference that is. All right, everyone, you guys have a beautiful rest of your week. And then the chaos will come back to the Nikki and Bree show this coming Monday. So Nikki will be back, and I'm sure we'll hear a lot about hot air balloons. Okay, you can find videos of today's episode on the Nikki and Bri Show, IG page, TikTok, Facebook, and if you have any ideas for me for hi, my name is Bree. Please call us at 833 Garcia too. Or if there's tips you would like to give me or questions you have for me, please call our hotline. All right, everyone. Until next time.
