Meet the Ethical Cheerleader, Suze Wood "If I had a zone of genius perhaps it would be that I don't have one! Whilst I draw on many skills and experiences, my intent isn't to offer advice or expertise, but rather to connect through the sharing of stories and ideas, contemplate questions together and, most importantly, cheer each other on. In my own life, I've found a supportive friend to be as valuable to my wellbeing and growth as any expert (not to devalue the different, equally helpful role they also play). Essentially, I believe that by being ourselves, we can all make a difference in the world - whether we consider ourselves experts or not - and when we do it together we thrive. This is the kind of stuff I love to talk about!" ABOUT SUZE A home ed mama and writer, Suze is the creative energy behind Ethical Cheerleader, a supportive Instagram community exploring how ethical living and happiness go hand in hand. An avid travel lover, she also works for Kynder, a conscious travel platform connecting hosts and guests who value kind and mutually-rewarding hospitality experiences as a force for good. In 2006, during a six month trip, Suze realised a life largely spent appeasing 'shoulds' was significantly impairing her ability to love the world and so began a life-long journey unearthing authenticity and learning to live with conscious intent. Drawing on her should-free philosophy and fuelled by her love for planet earth, Suze writes to encourage all of us seeking to embrace our full selves and hoping to create our own, beautifully unique versions of a fun and fulfilling ethical life!

My guest this week is the wonderful Mel Daniels, from Meld Business Services in Sydney. Just some of the topics we explore: Matrescence, what it is and how it changes us How motherhood presented opportunities for change and how Mel chose her next direction The surprising ways that she brought her passions and work together, and the tools that helped her Articulating your purpose, even when life is good How our purpose manifests differently throughout our lives Mel's desire to "be part of something bigger" Changing course and stepping into your power ____ Mel Daniels is a Content Strategist and Speaker who loves to understand ‘why'. Even past her toddler years, she always asked why. She wanted to understand why things worked like they did, why people acted a certain way and why she was the only one who loved peanut butter and sultana sandwiches. Her curiosity has lead her on an interesting life journey from academic achiever to corporate leader, mum extraordinaire and now business owner. Mel's purpose is to teach and empower women who want more from their business, on how to use content in a powerful way. She gives them the confidence they need to become more visible, seen as the expert that they are and inspired to take their business to the next level. When she's not talking about content and client journeys, you will find Mel cheering on her clients from the sidelines. Her other favourite hangouts are the kitchen and gym. Luckily her love of dead-lifting counteracts the amount of baking she consumes.

Meet Chris Agnos from Sustainable Human Our response to the climate crisis is deeply rooted in our own maladaptations from the way we have been raised in disconnection from our place in nature. By healing ourselves and changing the way we parent and the way we consider our deeper connections, as families, as cultures, as humans who are alive right now, we can respond differently. We talk about Permaculture and filmmaking Connecting how we parent with how we relate to the environment Stories as the way we relate to the world, as a set of beliefs that answer questions Alternatives to the traditional ‘story of separation from nature and from each other Humans are natural co-operators who wish to live in harmony without violence We are ready for a different story and to deal with conflict differently Exploring these themes ^^ with video storytelling to create a felt experience The importance of choosing relationship and connection over control in response to our fundamentally human insecurities.
