A live program for curious humans, entrepreneurs and multi-passionate creators who are ready to transform their scattered interests into a thriving digital garden; finally develop and share the interconnected ideas that make your work distinctly yours.
Enrollment opens January 26. Bonus class on Notion databases on Friday January 30.
Podge's approach to teaching is so refreshing and supportive (this is coming from someone with ADHD and a lot of "learning shame" from past experiences). Podge's hands-on, collaborative workshop style made learning ACTUALLY fun and ultimately worthwhile. And I walked away with a Digital Garden that I'm excited to keep tending to!
I feel very excited about my digital garden and the what will come out of it. This is one of these classes that you carry with you, Podge has this teaching style that just sticks! I’m so happy I took this class
I would very much recommend Digital Gardening: The Curiosity Comeback, for anyone who wants to improve their Notion skills, discover Big Ideas, and as an antidote to our doom-scrolling, algorithm-saturated online culture. It feels so great to take an online course and actually build a thing! I'm excited to keep tending my digital garden.
Remember when you used to lose hours following fascinating rabbit holes? When learning felt like play, not productivity, a chore or an expectation?
Somewhere along the way, we traded wonder for efficiency. We started treating our minds like machines that need optimizing instead of gardens that need tending.
You bookmark articles like you're stockpiling for an intellectual winter that never comes. Those eleventy-stupid open tabs and endless bookmark drop-downs you haven’t revisited? That’s not laziness - it’s evidence of a curious mind being forced into a linear system.
You've tried to organize your digital life with the ruthless efficiency of a Fortune 500 CEO. Colour-coded folders. Elaborate tagging systems. Apps that promised to "revolutionize" your workflow. But instead of clarity, you got another abandoned system that was too rigid for your natural rhythms and how you actually like to work.
Every fascinating thread you follow gets interrupted by the nagging voice asking "but what's this FOR?" As if curiosity needs to justify itself. As if learning needs an immediate ROI.
You save things "for later" but later never comes because there's no gentle way back into those ideas. They sit there like books with their spines facing the wall, present but impossible to meaningfully decipher.
And underneath it all, there's this creeping worry that you've lost something essential. That your natural curiosity has been domesticated into mere consumption.
Picture yourself with a digital space in Notion that feels like a peaceful garden rather than a chaotic warehouse. No more frantic bookmarking or guilty "I should read this" piles.
Picture opening your Digital Garden and feeling the same satisfaction as walking into a well-loved bookshop, the one where you go all the time and you know where everything is, know exactly which section to head to based on what you’re interested in pursuing. In the Digital Garden that you build, everything has its place, but that place makes sense to you — it’s not a template that made sense to a different creator.
Imagine following a thought wherever it wants to go, knowing you have a beautiful home for it to land. No more mental post-it notes floating in the void. Instead, each idea becomes part of a living ecosystem where connections bloom naturally.
You start noticing patterns you couldn't see before. That article about mushroom networks connects to your thoughts on community building which somehow relates to that podcast about jazz improvisation. Your garden reveals the hidden architecture of your curiosity.
Creating becomes effortless because you're not starting from scratch, you're harvesting from your own intellectual abundance. Blog posts, newsletters, creative projects all emerge from the rich soil you've been cultivating.
Your audience starts responding differently when you share from your garden. They can feel the depth, the genuine fascination, the unexpected connections. (And yes, you can make your garden public if that calls to you - imagine having a URL that's essentially a living map of your mind.)
One morning, you realise you're excited to capture an idea: not because you should, but because you know exactly where it belongs in your ever-evolving garden.
Everything you need to create a thriving digital garden, without abandoning it three weeks later like every other system you've tried.

For years, I built beautiful Notion systems for other people. But something shifted when I started building my own garden. I wasn't just organizing information anymore, I was using Notion as a tool for metacognition - for thinking about thinking.
I watched myself transform from mindlessly consuming content to intentionally following threads that mattered. And then something magical happened: those threads started weaving themselves into a creative practice. A body of work began to emerge that felt genuinely mine.
I knew I had to share this with others. Not by building systems FOR them, but by guiding them to build their own and to experience that same transformation for themselves.
What surprises me most is what resonates with people. The decolonizing knowledge piece hits deep - people light up when they realise they can reject the tyranny of productivity culture. The metacognition work becomes almost meditative. And the actual building? It becomes play. Past students tell me they forgot that learning could be fun, that creating systems could feel like art.
My approach is simple: I believe that when you build something with your own hands, shaped by your own mind, you're not just creating a system, you're creating a practice. A way back to the curiosity that's been waiting for you all along.
Nothing makes me happier than watching someone discover they're not scattered, they're multifaceted. And their Digital Garden is where all those facets finally get to shine.
The support I offer as well as the time I have built in for you to create your Digital Garden within the program timeframe ensures you can walk away with a tangible product that you’ll be using by the end of our time together. I answer your questions and teach concepts in multiple ways so that you are all but guaranteed to walk away with a fully functional digital garden that you have designed.
I have helped scores of people develop their skills and confidence by teaching and coaching in a dynamic fashion. When someone is stuck, I use clear inquiry to get at the heart of how they’re thinking about the problem and from there, we can gently untangle the confusion and find a better path forward.
This investment is designed to work with your real life.
Your investment grows more than a garden - it grows a practice.
Digital Gardening: The Curiosity Comeback is designed for real humans with full lives who want depth without overwhelm.
Even if you only attend the live classes and create the simplest possible garden, you'll still leave with a functioning system and - more importantly - permission to learn at the pace of wonder rather than productivity.
The real risk isn't investing in this program, it's letting another year pass while your best ideas remain scattered across seventeen different apps, three notebooks and that one voice memo you can never find.
I can feel the momentum building around this work. Every day, new people are finding me, joining the waitlist, hungry for a way to more deeply engage with the world. This isn't just about organization, it's about a collective yearning to move beyond surface-level consumption and into real cultivation.
This gentle, proven approach has already transformed how creative entrepreneurs and multi-passionate humans relate to their own curiosity. You're not joining a group class, you're joining an intimate cohort of people ready to reclaim their intellectual lives.
Your garden is yours first. While I'll show you how to share it if you choose (and yes, I'll feature public gardens on my website and newsletter for those who want that), many gardeners keep their spaces private. The magic happens in the cultivation, not the exhibition.
No problem, Notion novices are welcome. We'll build your comfort with databases and relations step by step. The co-working labs are specifically designed for getting unstuck on technical snags without derailing your creative flow. Plus, we’ll begin with a bonus class on how to build databases so you can get the foundations you need.
Oh, sweet summer child. You have 32 browser tabs open right now. You've been collecting seeds your whole life. The workshop includes exercises to help you recognize the richness that's already there.
That's exactly why we focus on cultivation practice, not perfection. A garden that gets tended once a month is still a garden. We'll build something forgiving that grows with neglect and flourishes with attention, just like real gardens do.
Those systems optimize for productivity. We're optimizing for wonder. While you might capture some similar information, the entire philosophy, structure and purpose are different. This is about nurturing curiosity, not maximizing output.
The beauty of a Digital Garden is that it's shaped by what you plant. I've seen stunning gardens from artists, engineers, therapists, writers, parents, activists. Your garden will be uniquely yours.
Maybe you've tried to Marie Kondo your digital life, thanking each bookmark for its service before deleting it in shame.
Maybe you've told yourself that THIS TIME you'll actually review those saved articles. THIS TIME you'll maintain that tagging system. THIS TIME you'll... who are we kidding?
The hunger for depth, for connection, for the luxury of following your curiosity without an agenda - it hasn't gone away. It's just been waiting.
So here's an open gate to a different way.
If you're ready to stop apologizing for your wandering mind and start cultivating it instead, Digital Gardening: the Curiosity Comeback is here to guide you home to yourself.
