In this episode of The Insomnia Project sleep podcast, Amanda and Marco ease into a gentle, garden-inspired conversation about the flowers growing in their front yard and the quiet rhythms of tending to them throughout the season. With a calm and thoughtful approach, Amanda shares how she selected blooms that would carry color from early spring through late summer, along with the small delights — and occasional challenges — that come with planning a garden that evolves over time.
As the conversation meanders, Marco shares a childhood confession involving a cherry tree when he was eight years old, leading them into a surprisingly cozy and nostalgic deep dive into classic game shows.
