Bloom College

In this week’s episode of The True North Show, Megan sat down with Yvette, our of founder of Bloom College, to explore why flowers aren’t just decorative… they’re deeply restorative. With more than 30 years in the industry, Yvette has moved from apprentice to shop owner to an industry leader, and now helps people learn floristry (and flower therapy) no matter where they live.

What unfolds is less a conversation about “arranging flowers” and more a gentle reminder that creativity is a form of care. Yvette shares how nature supported her through anxiety and depression, and how one small act in a hospital — giving her flowers away — became a moment she still carries as proof that beauty can shift a person’s inner world.

“Failure is not trying.”

The moment flowers became medicine

Yvette recalls being in hospital, overwhelmed with anxiety and guilt, surrounded by bouquets she couldn’t even take with her. When she gave flowers to another patient, the emotional change was immediate — a visceral reminder that flowers affect us mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Flowers, energy, and the body

Yvette explains her view that flowers carry distinct vibrations — and that different blooms can support different energetic centres. She speaks about working with rose energy for the heart, sunflower energy for vitality, and how flower therapy can be practiced through presence, imagery, and meditation.

Grounding isn’t a rulebook

From running and gardening to sleep, nutrition, and meaningful connection, Yvette shares what keeps her steady — and why she no longer “punishes” herself for missing a ritual.

The real takeaway is simple: your wellbeing practices should support your life, not control it.

The business grows as you do

Yvette’s new memberships blend floristry training with self-nurturing, because burnout doesn’t build beautiful businesses. Her philosophy is clear: your business can only expand as far as you’re willing to grow, soften, and listen inward.

As the episode closes, Yvette offers a truth she wishes she’d learned earlier: the answers are within - slow down, get into nature, and listen.

The holiday decorations are coming down, and the "real world" is starting to creep back in. It is so easy to let our big dreams get buried under the daily to-do list before January is even over.

But I don’t want that to happen to you this year.

I firmly believe that how you start the year impacts how you finish it. Start 2026 feeling refreshed, invigorated, and excited for what you are creating and who you are becoming.

If becoming a business owner is part of who you are becoming, the time to start is now.

I am looking for the first few members for my exclusive 'Business Bloomers Club' Floristry Business Membership. This is a small, intimate group where I will be personally mentoring aspiring florists to build profitable businesses from home.

We are limiting this initial intake to just 25 people worldwide. This ensures that when we hop on our fortnightly coaching calls, you get the specific attention and guidance you need.

The membership includes more than just coaching; it gives you access to the Complete Floristry & Business course.

Don't let another year slip by wishing you had started. Let’s get your business blooming.

ALIGNMENT

"Have you ever wondered what 'alignment' really means and why it matters? Think of it simply as being in sync—with your purpose, your intentions, and your passions. It’s about feeling connected to your loved ones and, crucially, to that inner burst of creative energy that inspires you to move forward.

We often get stuck trying to find perfect balance in life, feeling like we need equal parts work, family, and me-time every single day. But let's be honest, life doesn't work that way. Instead of aiming for perfect symmetry (which is totally unattainable!), the goal should be to shift your focus and energy to whatever is needed right now—whether that’s over the course of a day, a week, or a season.

We know that feeling good is a powerful catalyst: good feelings create good energy, which attracts good opportunities, and the cycle continues. On that note, have you heard the science behind flowers? They aren't just a mood boost! Research actually shows they carry high source energy. For example, a rose vibrates at an amazing 320 MHz. Compare that to something healthy like an apple or blueberries, which are around 15 MHz. Maybe it’s time we considered flowers a daily necessity!

And remember, flowers are just one fantastic way to help you find this beautiful flow in your life."
