A backyard mango tree with only four fruits shouldn’t tell a global story—but it does. Ambassador Ruby Kritikos joins us to connect the dots between extreme heat, shifting winds, and the quiet collapse of everyday nutrition, then widens the lens to storms that level coastlines and budgets. We talk plainly about climate justice: who gets the funds, how fast they arrive, and whether reconstruction restores dignity as well as roads and schools. Ruby brings hard numbers and lived experience from Zambia to COP30 corridors, insisting that pledges must translate into food on the table and safer homes.

We dive into why women’s leadership changes outcomes, not just optics. Representation shapes priorities—health systems, housing, anti-corruption—and accelerates policies that protect children, coastal communities, and those living closest to risk. Ruby reframes feminism as collaboration rather than competition, drawing men and boys into the work of building resilient systems. Civil society takes centre stage as the bridge between plans and practice: local groups collect ground truth, elevate youth innovators, and make disaster preparedness tangible, as seen in the Philippines where planning saved lives.

Education threads through everything. Start climate learning early with observation and art; scale to data, humidity, and precipitation in later years; move science into gardens so knowledge travels home. Youth projects spark real change—from plastic bricks and bottle-top murals to river clean-ups that protect fishing livelihoods. We also explore indigenous knowledge and carbon balance, the costs of charcoal-driven deforestation, and unexpected innovations like turning sugarcane waste into compostable eco-fabrics. Packaging shifts to plant-based materials show how industry and policy can reduce microplastics without slowing growth.

Ruby closes with inclusion at the core: sunscreen as essential health for persons with albinism, feeding programmes for children with hearing impairments, and a reminder that climate risk is a health, education, and equality issue. If we want a future that works, funding must reach the front lines, and leadership must measure success by safety, access, and shared prosperity.

A single play sparked a family’s disclosure, an arrest, and a mission that now reaches the halls of the Council of Europe. We sit down with Dr Matthew McVarish to unpack how survivor voices can reshape laws, build child‑centred justice, and push governments beyond gestures toward real protection for children. From ending statutes of limitations to establishing survivor councils, Matthew shares a blueprint for practical change grounded in lived experience and rigorous policy work.

We explore the Brave Movement’s three global priorities: removing time limits that block prosecutions and leave offenders near children, making the internet safer without sacrificing legitimate privacy, and formalising survivor councils so lawmakers hear from people who have navigated the system. Along the way, we examine the ACE research linking childhood trauma to lifelong health risks and mounting economic costs, showing why prevention and trauma‑informed responses are both ethical and efficient.

You’ll also hear how the Barnahus model transforms child protection by bringing police, medical care, social services, and courts under one roof, replacing repeated testimonies with one forensic interview and swift therapeutic support. We discuss the power of language—why “survivor” matters, and why terms like child sexual abuse material clarify who is harmed and who is responsible. We close with concrete steps you can take today: create an open‑door culture at home, ask your school when it last updated its safeguarding policy, and use your voice to press for Barnahus standards and the end of harmful time limits.

Job boards feel like shouting into the wind, and for many smart, seasoned professionals, that silence is maddening. We sat down with career transition coach and author Gina Riley to unpack why “qualified” rarely wins on its own—and how clarity, research, and real relationships move you to the top of the shortlist. Gina shares the thinking behind her book, Qualified Isn’t Enough, and the nine-step Career Velocity model that helps candidates articulate a unique value proposition and turn interviews into business conversations.

Across a fast-paced, practical conversation, we map the journey from rambling bios to crisp narratives that hiring teams can use. You’ll hear how to build your career thread from strengths, values, and motivated skills; why dormant ties are your most overlooked asset; and how to approach outreach with curiosity instead of desperation. We go beyond company webpages into investor letters, competitor analysis, and leadership interviews, then show you how to bring those insights into meetings as testable hypotheses. For new grads, mid-career changers, and executives alike, the message is consistent: unless you get seen, you won’t get heard.

We also dive into executive presence—how you look, speak, and act—and the modern mandate to read the room across virtual and in-person settings. Gina Riley introduces her RARE framework: Research, Alignment, Read the room, Evaluate the fit. You’ll learn smart questions to ask peers and leaders, ways to avoid the ATS black hole, and why volunteer leadership can quietly showcase your value at scale. If you’ve been applying widely with little traction, this is your reset: fewer applications, stronger relationships, and a narrative that makes you the obvious hire.

What if your marketing felt as genuine as your work—and actually performed better because of it? We sit down with Shauna Van Mourik to unpack how a neuroscience lens, a translator’s ear, and a values-first strategy can turn vague messaging into clear demand and sustainable growth. Shauna bridges the science and the “woo” with uncommon fluency, showing how affirmations rewire neural pathways, why specificity attracts more of the right clients, and how to define success on your terms so your business fits your life, not the other way around.

Shauna Van Mourik shares a powerful case study of a psychotherapist who eliminated misaligned corporate gigs, added $40K in eight months, niched into work she loves, and created passive income that supported new family life. We dig into the mechanics: a brand refresh rooted in identity over aesthetics, a visibility plan that prioritised community, and the operational systems that turned a surge of leads into calm delivery. You’ll also hear how a German client went from a trickle to a waitlist by targeting a dream client profile, then shoring up back-end structure to handle demand without burning out.

We map ’Shauna Van Mourik's two service lanes—done-for-you execution and a high-touch coaching path—plus her five-phase framework: brand refresh, marketing strategy, community building, conversion that flows without constant launches, and long-term sustainability planning. And we tackle the future: why AI is best treated as a thinking partner that sharpens ideas and returns time to human work like listening, judgment, and care. Expect practical insights on alignment, clarity, and momentum you can maintain.

The story starts with a young computer science student in Tehran and pivots into a life reshaped by courage. Shabnam Madadzedeh takes us inside Evin Prison—solitary confinement, interrogations, a sham trial—and then beyond the prison gates where a different fight begins. Denied the right to study, work or travel, she chose exile over silence, carrying her life in a backpack and the testimonies of fellow inmates in her memory.

We explore what dedication looks like when the stakes are measured in lives. Shabnam Madadzedeh explains why she refused a conventional path and instead committed 100% to human rights advocacy: documenting abuses, briefing parliamentarians in Luxembourg and Switzerland, and engaging UN human rights mechanisms to press for accountability. She names the crisis directly—mass executions, hunger strikes in Qezel Hesar, and pleas smuggled from inside prisons—and argues that Iran’s religious fascism cannot be reformed, only replaced through organised, principled resistance led by people willing to give everything.

This is not a story about victimhood. It is a portrait of agency forged in hard places, guided by role models in the National Council of Resistance of Iran and anchored in the belief that a life spent lifting others is a larger life. We talk about the psychology of survival, the ethics of total commitment, and the practical tools of advocacy: evidence, coalitions, and relentless attention. If you care about Iran human rights, political prisoners, Evin Prison, Qezel Hesar, and stopping executions, this conversation offers context, clarity and a way forward.

Feeling the slow grind of effort without progress is not a personal flaw—it’s a signal. We sit down with Lady Huyla Kurt—career master coach, author, lecturer, and Toastmaster—to map a clear route out of the hamster wheel and into work that aligns with your values, energy, and ambitions. Julia brings two decades of corporate leadership and hands‑on coaching to show how small, honest actions can open doors you thought were sealed.

We start with the inner work that most of us skip: three powerful prompts to surface moments of pride, fulfilment, and happiness. From there, Julia explains how to turn hidden wins into visible value using the STAR framework, making interviews, performance reviews, and salary conversations more grounded and confident. You’ll hear how one client escaped a toxic environment and landed a marketing leadership role in Zurich through focused networking, LinkedIn optimisation, and targeted preparation. Another, a highly introverted job‑seeker, found momentum with adapted methods—visual anchors, gentle outreach, and steady, realistic targets.

Beyond career transitions, we dig into the skills that move careers forward: real communication, constructive conflict, and resilience. As a business school lecturer, Julia designs phone‑down classrooms where students practise critical thinking and live debate. She shares practical strategies to raise your voice respectfully, advocate for your impact, and use Toastmasters as a safe lab for public speaking, leadership, and feedback. We also unpack SMARTER goals—adding Exciting and Rewarding to keep progress meaningful in a volatile, uncertain world.

If you’ve wondered how to recognise burnout early, align job choices to values, and build a network that actually works for you, this conversation is your field guide.

The most powerful support isn’t always advice—it’s being heard by someone who truly understands. We sit down with entrepreneur and father Chris Coulter to explore how The Mentor Well pairs young people with mentors who’ve lived through similar challenges and can offer the rare combination of empathy, clarity, and practical tools. Instead of replacing therapy or policing from home, this approach builds a trusted, confidential space where teens and young adults can unpack pressure from school, identity questions, family change, or the noise of social media and leave with skills they can use the same day.

Chris explains why parents—out of love—often jump into “fix it” mode and how that can shut conversations down. Mentors do it differently: they ask whether a teen wants a “feel it” or “fix it” conversation, teach core elements of emotional intelligence like self‑awareness, self‑regulation, empathy and conflict repair, and celebrate small wins to build durable confidence. Matching by lived experience is the key. Whether it’s navigating divorce, a tough exam result, orientation questions, or the “now what?” after university, mentees see a real person who made it through—and that makes their own next step believable.

We also talk about what today’s families have lost as extended networks fade and comparison culture grows. The Mentor Well’s six‑month model gives time for trust to deepen and for practical habits—like writing down one daily win—to rewire how progress is measured. The aim isn’t dependency; it’s capability. Chris shares moving transformations and the deeply personal origin of the project: a tribute to his daughter Maddie, whose legacy fuels a mission to reach teens before crisis. If you care about youth mental fitness, mentoring, and real‑world life skills, this conversation offers a clear, humane blueprint.

What if the strongest medicine isn’t in a bottle, but in the space between two people? Dr Fred Moss joins us to rethink how we approach pain, purpose, and the story of “mental illness,” tracing his path from talkative kid to psychiatrist to “undoctor” who helps people step out of labels and into connection.

We explore the seismic shift that came with the Prozac era and why so many of us were taught to treat discomfort as disease. Fred shares how that narrative left him misaligned—handing out diagnoses and scripts while watching lives shrink—and what changed when he started tapering medications, undiagnosing identities, and guiding people toward practices that cost little and change a lot. From sleep and hydration to time in nature, creativity, service, and genuine conversation, he lays out the MOSS Method as a practical, humane way to stabilise without numbing, reconnect without retreating, and build mental health through daily choices rather than permanent labels.

The journey goes global with his “Global Madness” lens: a broken arm is universal; a psychiatric label is cultural. Across Thailand, Bhutan, Nepal, Israel, and beyond, Fred shows how traits pathologised in one place can be honoured in another. That insight reframes “mental illness” as a negotiated reality—one we can renegotiate. We talk frankly about suicide as profound disconnection and why prevention begins with presence: staying close, resonating with pain, and helping people rediscover a reason to belong. Fred’s Undoctor Reset invites anyone—no licence required—to lead with curiosity and compassion: undiagnose, unmedicate, and undoctrinate where appropriate, and put human connection back at the centre of care.

If you’ve ever felt reduced to a code or wondered whether there might be nothing “wrong” with you at all, this conversation offers a map home. Subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review telling us where you’ve found the most healing connection lately.
