About Us

We believe that by empowering pollinators, we can help all beings flourish.

Hi, I'm Jen Dyck-Sprout, founder of 🧚‍♀️Polli-Nation🧚🏽‍♂️ and author of The Pollinator Book.

I used to feel ashamed of my mish-mash of jobs and hobbies. I had internalized that something was wrong with me for not being able to commit to a single profession and path through life.

No matter how hard I tried to find my professional place (soul searching through several sabbaticals, my MBA, and as I cycled from Cairo to Cape Town), I couldn’t help but feel like Ikigai was a Lie.

Then I had an epiphany.

I wasn’t lost or broken, I was a pollinator.

Wandering and experimenting was the whole point. I was building necessary bridges in the world, without even meaning to.

Pollinators taught me that I don’t need to pursue wealth, impact, or “success.” I simply need to follow what energizes me, just like a pollinator follows its hunger. In doing so, pollination will occur and everything else will fall into place.

Seeing myself as a pollinator has been such a transformative shift, that I want to offer these lessons to others.

I hope this may be a portal that inspires you to embrace your pollinator nature. I guarantee you will feel better when you do. Life will feel more full, more free, more fun.

Why We’re Gathering & Empowering the Planet’s Pollinators

Pollinators — whether hummingbirds or humans — offer us a quiet but essential service every single day.

Unfortunately, they are understudied and, by extension, undervalued. That’s where we come in.

We support pollinators with:

  1. resources to help pollinators leverage their strengths

  2. community to help pollinators more easily pollinate

Stay in the loop by signing up for our monthly digest , which includes 🧚‍♀️Polli-Nation🧚🏽‍♂️ updates and nature-inspired ideas, stories, and insights.

If You Take Just One Thing Away …

The only thing the world needs from you is that you are exactly who you are. The same is true of every living being on the planet.

Imagine what would be lost if every pollinator—every bee and bat and butterfly—stopped trusting their instincts, and tried to be something they were not. We wouldn’t have the iconic Saguaro cacti or the intoxicatingly fragrant plumeria tree, let alone coffee or chocolate. In fact, entire ecosystems would collapse.

Now try to imagine what is lost when you don’t trust your instincts. The world needs you to trust your hunger. Whether it’s to help others, to grow, to explore, or to create, trusting your hunger is how pollination happens. And pollination is what makes this world so wonderful.

All we pollinators have to do to make this world more beautiful, more joyful, more delicious, is listen to our guts.
