Healing Through Nature: What Worms Teach Us About Life and Connection

In this episode, I sit down with Alyssia Richardson, environmentalist, teacher, and founder of Princess Gardens Worm Farm, to explore the incredible world of vermicomposting—a practice that’s as practical as it is transformative. We dive into: Diversifying waste and using worm castings (black gold) to grow food, enrich plants, grass, and flowers. Why vermicomposting is nutrient-dense, biologically diverse, and a powerful way to reconnect with nature. The mindfulness and healing vermicomposting offers, grounding us in our daily lives and teaching us lessons about connection, patience, and the beauty of the whole. How worms can teach us more than we expect—if we pay attention. Alyssia shares her personal story of how vermicomposting helped her heal and why she now teaches others to connect with Mother Earth. Through her business, Princess Gardens Worm Farm, she offers group sessions, webinars, and digital products like the Starter Guide to help you get started. She also sells bedding, worms, and supplies, shipping anywhere in the U.S. Alyssia’s passion for showing us how to connect with the earth—and ourselves—is truly inspiring. Her children’s book, Willow Worm’s Big Day, beautifully introduces kids to this practice, proving that these lessons are for all ages. ✨ Want to experience the magic and healing of vermicomposting for yourself?
