How to Cultivate Resilience (and Tomatoes) on a Budget: Brettney Perr Featured on Rent.com

You don’t need a big backyard, a trust fund, or a green thumb to start a garden or a transformation.

You just need the right knowledge and mindset to grow.

I recently had the opportunity to share my insights with Rent.com in their latest feature: “How to Start a Thriving Patio Vegetable Garden”, and I’m honored to have contributed practical, low-cost tips to help people connect with the joy of gardening and the resilience associated with growing your own food without the overwhelm.

Because whether we’re talking about nurturing a plant or rebuilding a life after trauma, growth is always possible. Even in broken places, and especially in the challenging ones!

From Planting Seeds to Reclaiming Power

When Rent.com asked for real-world strategies for starting a garden in small spaces, I didn’t have to think twice:

“Start with a local, family-owned nursery. They know their plants, care about their community, and will always give you the best advice.”

I’ve always believed in working with what you have, even if it isn’t much. That’s why I also shared ways to source soil and supplies from thrift shops, reuse containers like yogurt cups and strawberry clamshells, and grow plants from kitchen scraps. It’s not just sustainable, it’s connecting with your food and where it comes from.

That same philosophy inspired me to write the Resilience Journal.

Because just like a garden, your mental health needs regular tending, healthy boundaries, and the mindset to grow.

What Gardening Teaches Us About Emotional Survival

Those who have done coaching with me have heard me bring up the analogy of a weed in the garden and that the core problem a client experiences is like a weed’s taproot. If the taproot is not dealt with the problem of weeds taking over your garden will persist. It’s the same with addressing a core issue in ones life. That root can be bitter resentment or the pain we carry in our lives that robs us of our joy, the nutrients to grow, and cultivate the fruit we want to produce in our lives. Most of us weren’t taught how to regulate our nervous systems, process pain, or honor our needs. But just like seedlings turn toward the light, we instinctively move toward healing when we’re given the right tools.

The Resilience Journal was created for people like us people who are tired of self-help fluff and want practical, neuroscience-backed tools that make a measurable difference.

Track real progress, not perfection

Build habits that compound over time

Reflect, Reset, Rise again!

The Cultural Power of Growth

This isn’t the first time I’ve covered the deeper meaning of growing your own food and medicine. If you’re curious about how gardening is helping reshape access, equity, and healing in urban communities, check out this post on Logan’s Gardens: Shifting Culture One Plant at a Time.

Both features echo the same truth: Gardening isn’t just a hobby. It’s a revolution in resilience, a way to reclaim agency, nourish ourselves, and reconnect with what really matters.

Why this Matters

Being featured in Rent.com isn’t just a personal win it’s a reminder that resourcefulness is resilience.

In a world obsessed with aesthetics and performance, I’m here to champion the power of process. The quiet growth that happens when no one’s watching. The wisdom in reuse. The dignity of starting small.

Whether you’re sprouting seeds, in your kitchen, on your fire escape or reclaiming parts of yourself you thought were lost this season is fertile.

WHats Next?

If this resonated with you, even a little, here’s where you can start growing:

Understanding Yourself Through Healing and Values

In an age dominated by social media and constant bombardment of information, it's easy to lose touch with who we truly are. We're inundated with anxiety, fear, and cultural narratives that often don’t serve us. How then do we sift through the noise and connect deeply with ourselves? The answer lies in self-awareness, healing, and the values we hold dear.

To embark on this journey of self-discovery, we first have to acknowledge how trauma shapes our behavior. Often, we carry unprocessed experiences into our present, much like a bear lurking in a child's story, evoking fear anytime it’s mentioned. This metaphor serves to illustrate how triggers can hijack our emotions, sending us into a tailspin of anxiety or stress. For instance, if a certain word or situation evokes anxiety, a simple exercise to counter this is through deep breathing techniques. By consciously controlling our breath, we alter our physiological responses to stress and begin to recalibrate our state of mind. Breathing deeply allows us to shift from a state of panic to one of calm, enabling clearer decision-making.

Understanding our triggers, however, is just the beginning. To truly heal, we need to delve into our value system. What do we stand for? What do we find unacceptable? Often, a good starting point is the inverse exercise: if you're unsure what your values are, list what you dislike. Gratitude, respect, honesty—these might emerge as core principles after some exploration. It’s vital to articulate what these values mean to us personally. For instance, love could mean a lack of disrespect; what does respect look like in your relationships? This clarity arms you with an internal compass that guides your decisions in dating, work, and friendships.

Yet healing is rarely a linear process. It requires sustained effort and action. The work doesn’t stop after a single session or insight; it’s an ongoing commitment. Like a startup, you must iteratively refine your approach based on active feedback. Founders need to understand their vision and mission, just as we must understand ours to avoid toxic dynamics in our relationships or workplaces. By aligning our actions with our values, we create boundaries that protect us from emotional disturbances inflicted by others.

Moreover, addressing anxiety and healing from trauma is not just a personal endeavor—it also involves recognizing the larger environment. In a workplace where toxic behavior abounds, understanding the underlying motivations of others can offer perspective. Is a colleague acting out due to personal struggles? This insight can help you navigate dynamics more effectively, transforming adversities into opportunities for compassion, rather than conflict.

As we engage in the work of understanding ourselves, we gain tools to react thoughtfully rather than impulsively. Healing from trauma or toxic relationships requires both introspection and action—reflecting on what we value while taking proactive steps to create environments that support our growth.

In conclusion, the journey of self-awareness, healing, and value-based living is profound and transformative. It involves breathing through anxiety, defining our values, and actively reflecting on our relationships with others. This pursuit is not merely for personal benefit but serves to enhance our interactions with the world, fueling a more compassionate and authentic version of ourselves. By embracing this ongoing process, you cultivate a life filled with intention, direction, and deeper connections.
