Join me for an inspiring conversation with Tabi!

 

Tabi’s life turned around when she was 22 and her younger brother, age 17, was killed in a car accident.  

Until that point, she used drugs and alcohol to mask the pain of a troubled childhood that included being bullied at school and a rape incident at age 16.  It was the loss of her brother that motivated her to stop 'wasting her life' and to begin pursuing her dreams.

 

In this episode, Tabi discusses:

• Tabi realised that our society does not deal with death well. She had to find ways to work through her grief, which led her to rediscover nature that she had loved as a child.
  
  
• She noticed that when she spent more time outside that she felt better.
  
  
• She found trees to have a magical quality and shares the inspirational story of climbing a tree that brought her back into fellowship and harmony with nature.
  
  
• Tabi found a way to merge her two loves of nature and psychology to become an “eco-psychologist.” She learned how to use coaching to articulate and teach others.
  
  
• Tabi shares how her journey of the last five years has involved connecting with others through the power of nature. “The future belongs to those who are nature-smart.”—Richard Louv
  
  
• Tabi addresses the dilemma of how modern society can balance technology and nature.
  
  
• Everything in nature has a path of growth and renewal just like we, as humans, need growth and renewal.
  
  
• Tabi uses the reality of light and dark in nature as metaphors for the stages and steps in our lives.
  
  
• Tabi’s greatest success has been the development of The Nature Process, which is a 5-step online program and now, a book. 
  
  
• Proceeds from her program have raised huge funds for Tree Sisters, which supports feminine leadership and reforestation.
  
  
• “When I struggle to have faith, I go to nature. When I couldn’t believe in myself, I could believe in nature.”
  
  

Biggest Learning:

'Confidence within myself and trust.'

To realise how valuable she is and how valuable her knowledge is to the world.

Because of her interests, Tabi was so used to perceiving herself as weird one in her family that she didn’t want to share her gifts with the world.

It was the most humbling experience of her life to share her knowledge of nature with others and see their transformation.
