Planting Trees | SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast with Chris Melville
Description
In this episode of the SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast, Nicole George reconnects with Chris Melville, SOVEREIGN Magazine®'s In-House Coach to discuss the April New Moon issue theme, Building a Legacy, and Chris’s article “Planting Trees You Will Never Sit Under.” Chris explains that legacy is created through quiet daily choices aligned with values, and through the ripple effects of healing work—such as inner child healing—across relationships, parenting, and work. They note that the full impact of legacy is rarely visible and must be trusted, emphasizing reach, connection, and staying power over visibility and recognition. Chris encourages continuing to show up without needing praise, looking for behavioral validation like repeat clients and referrals, and practicing trust, patience, and detachment from outcomes. Nicole shares an example of trusting an energetic connection that later became a client.
