Custom HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT

In this week’s deeply honest solo episode of Growing Tall Poppies, Dr Nat Green shares a powerful life update and marks the beginning of a new chapter - one led by healing, integration, and a return to joy.

Following the raw vulnerability of Episode 63, where she spoke openly about gaslighting, trauma, and systemic harm, this episode is both a thank-you to those who listened and reached out - and a real-time reflection on what it means to choose post-traumatic growth over perfection.

This is not a farewell. It’s a re-grounding. A shedding of old stories. And the beginning of a healing journey that starts in Europe, but reaches far beyond.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

  • What it means to let go of the systems and identities that once kept you small

  • Why joy and beauty are essential parts of the trauma integration process

  • The Liberated Voyager archetype - and how Dr Nat is embodying it in real time

  • Why this trip isn’t a holiday, but a sacred ritual of healing, grief and becoming

  • The truth about healing in public, and being witnessed in your mess and your magic

Episode Highlights & Takeaways

  • “This journey isn’t about pretending I’m okay. It’s about integration. About letting the sun hit places that have stayed in the dark for too long.”

  • Letting go of productivity as a measure of worth

  • Choosing presence, awe and family connection after years of overachievement

  • Navigating the messiness of healing and reinvention with compassion

  • An invitation to walk your own path of post-traumatic growth - wherever you are
