    • SIFTING SESSION - When Mistakes Become Teachers
      Oct 16 2025

      In this Sifting Session, Karen shares the story behind last week’s conversation with gardener and author Charles Dowding and a lesson that came from a rather humbling mistake.

      When a technical error erased an entire interview (except for the final five minutes), what began as panic and embarrassment turned into an unexpected teacher ... one that spoke of humility, grace, and the quiet power of second chances.

      In this reflective solo episode, Karen explores ...

      🌱 How mistakes strip us back to what really matters.

      🌿 Why grace and generosity often grow in the space where things go wrong.

      🍂 What psychology and nature can teach us about failure, learning, and growth.

      🌾 How to move from self-criticism to self-compassion and start again, wiser.

      Rooted in real experience and gentle reflection, this episode is a reminder that every creative life, every meaningful project, and every season of growth is built on things that didn’t go to plan.

      🎧 Listen now, and be reminded that mistakes don’t mean failure ... they mean you’re trying.

      💬 Reflection Prompts

      • What’s a recent mistake that still lingers in your mind and what might it be teaching you?
      • Who has shown you kindness when you’ve stumbled, and how did it change how you saw yourself?
      • Where in your life could you offer yourself (or someone else) permission to begin again?

    • Trusting The Soil - Charles Dowding on Values, Gardening & Life
      Oct 9 2025

      in this episode of The Sieve, Karen speaks with renowned gardener, author, and teacher Charles Dowding, whose pioneering no dig method has inspired millions to see gardening, and life, differently.

      Charles is known around the world for transforming the way we grow food, but at the heart of his work lies something deeper ... a philosophy rooted in trust, patience, and generosity.

      In this thoughtful and quietly powerful conversation, Karen and Charles explore ...

      🌱 What first drew him to the soil , and to Iona

      🌿 The values that have shaped his lifelong approach to gardening and teaching.

      🍂 How to work with nature’s rhythms rather than against them.

      🌾 The importance of trust in the soil, in the process, and in ourselves.

      🌻 How kindness, simplicity, and curiosity keep his work (and his life) in balance.

      Together, they reflect on what it means to live by your values, to share knowledge freely, and to keep learning from nature’s quiet wisdom.

      🎧 Listen now and be reminded that the best growth, in gardens and in life, often happens when we stop forcing, start trusting, and let things unfold in their own time.

    • SIFTING SESSION - When Values Collide
      Oct 2 2025

      In this first Sifting Session, I share a personal story about what happens when two values pull you in opposite directions.

      For me, that tension showed up in my first business, KA Equestrian ... caught between the urge to sustain a business I’d built, and the reality that it was no longer sustainable. Holding on felt safe, but it also meant staying anchored to something that no longer gave me joy.

      In this episode, I talk about:

      ✨ The difficult but freeing decision to close KA Equestrian

      ✨ Why changing your mind isn’t failure, but wisdom

      ✨ What it means to make space for new passions and new growth

      ✨ The relief that comes with releasing outdated dreams

      I also share some gentle prompts to help you reflect on where your own values might be colliding, and how you might give yourself permission to let go.
