In this week’s episode of Growing Tall Poppies, Dr Nat Green takes a moment to reflect on a milestone - a full year of podcasting. What started as a passion project to explore post-traumatic growth and share powerful stories of transformation has grown into a supportive community for not just survivors of trauma but for the helpers, healers, and holding-it-all-together professionals who tune in every week.

This special anniversary episode is a pause to reflect on the journey, the lessons learned, and the evolving mission behind Growing Tall Poppies.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

  • The key lessons Dr Nat has learned from a year of deep, vulnerable conversations with trauma survivors, professionals, and experts.

  • The surprising way the podcast has evolved and the new direction it’s leaning into.

  • A loving nudge to therapists, coaches, health professionals, and other helping professionals who give so much of themselves, often at the cost of their own well-being.

  • Why it’s absolutely OK to want more - more support, more joy, more wholeness - and how you can begin reclaiming it.

  • Revisiting the mission of Growing Tall Poppies and what it truly means to grow tall in a world that often asks you to shrink.

This episode is an invitation for everyone who’s exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly burning out in the helping profession to pause, reflect, and begin reclaiming what they deserve.
