What if the secret to creating more art, building a better business, and living a more aligned life was simply being even more of yourself?

In this episode of The Bets Life Podcast, I’m joined by luxury floral artist Mackenzie Nancarrow, founder of Mackenzie Nancarrow Designs, for a conversation that goes far beyond flowers. We discuss how everyone can grow their creativity, what it really means to be an artist, and why staying true to yourself is the fastest way to achieve confidence, momentum, and an authentic career.

Mackenzie shares how flowers became her medium, how California’s landscape shapes her work, and why she chooses transparency over competition (she even readily shares her floral arrangement recipes online). We also dive into motherhood, creative blocks, pricing realities, and the mindset shifts that helped her grow a thriving floral business in under two years.

Have you ever wondered why you may feel more connected to yourself and others when you are immersed in nature? As technology advances and screen time increases, have you ever felt more disconnected from the environment? In this episode, I chat with Dr. Lena Dicken, licensed clinical psychologist and creator of The Outdoor Psychologist, to unpack how nature and our environment shape mental health.

We dive into ecopsychology, nature-deficit disorder, and how we can better balance indoor vs. outdoor time. Dr. Lena shares both the science and the personal stories that led her to this career: growing up in a meditation-centered spiritual community, taking a spontaneous four-year travel “intermission,” and founding Saltwater Sessions, a therapeutic surfing program.
