Zero waste campaigner Erin Rhoads from Rogue Ginger once famously put 18 months worth of her rubbish into a single glass jar.But Erin hasn’t always had a low waste lifestyle. In fact she says it used to be “fast food, fast living” kind. She’s shared her journey to reducing her impact on the environment through her blog The Rogue Ginger - one habit, one blog post at a time.Today Erin’s a sought-after writer and speaker. She was a consultant on ABCs War on Waste, and shares skills and practical help to hundreds at workshops, talks and forums, and founded Zero Waste Victoria and Plastic Bag Free Victoria.One of the things I love most about Erin is her complete honesty and transparency with the journey that she’s undertaken, and the emphasis on meaningful change. She acknowledges herself that she doesn’t always get it right, but that small steps every day can make an incredible difference over time.This conversation is an empowering one for anybody who wants to take small steps to make the world a better place.Enjoy!+Show notes:You’ll want to follow Erin online at The Rogue Ginger - I particularly love her Instagram accountErin’s book Waste Not is available nowThe Clean Bin Project documentary - or follow it on Facebook or TwitterBag It The MoviePlastic Free July - Facebook and TwitterWar on WasteShareWaste.com - community shared food waste and compostResponsible Cafes - promoting reusable coffee cupsBoomerang BagsIf you like this episode, you’ll love this episode with Tim Silverwood on the Power of Conscious Choice++Keep Listening:Sign up to our All Being Well’s newsletter - Mindful Mail - to receive updates on the best wellness news and resources from the web.Have you been enjoying All Being Well?

I’ll be eternally grateful for this conversation with Kate James. Kate is an internationally renowned career, business and life coach, and a mindfulness teacher based on the Mornington Peninsula. She's full of wisdom and thoughtfulness on how we can live with purpose, gain clarity about our direction and feel confident to pursue a career and life we love.This episode relates to this month's focus on finding our “why”. Our “why” can be called lots of things. In yoga it’s called your sankalpa. It can also be called your purpose. Or your true north.Essentially, your “why” is the purpose, values and beliefs that underpin everything you do. It is completely unique to you, and it’s the reason why you do what you do.Kate works to help her clients identify their values and strengths so that they can define their own version of a meaningful life. She is bursting with integrity and honesty, and I feel honoured that she was so generous with her thoughts and energy for this episode.She provides a number of brilliant resources that can help you to identify your own “why”, develop your strengths, and then guides us through a beautiful meditation to support this process. I truly hope that you get as much out of this conversation as I did!Enjoy, and have a wonderful start to 2019.+I'm thrilled to announce that Season Two will be launched in partnership with Dumbo Feather, and we'll be co-hosting an event on healing towards the end of January.

Today’s conversation with permaculture educators Kirsten Bradley and Nick Ritar from Milkwood is dose of goodness for anybody looking to connect with the earth, and themselves.Hearing from Kirsten and Nick is an absolute joy, as they share their gentle and exploratory journey towards creating a meaningful life.Their story begins in central Melbourne, working as art-makers and VJs, before undertaking an enormous challenge and moving to Nick’s rural family farm in NSW in the hope of transforming it into a new life and their new livelihood. With a lot of love and effort, this eventually blossomed into their permaculture business Milkwood Permaculture - that has trained and inspired thousands of us with it’s message of building a better world.Nick and Kirsten focus their efforts around taking care of the earth and stewarding the planet’s resources, and have a delightful time along the way. They make a compelling case for us all to slow down and consider what really matters - whether that’s learning to keep bees naturally or grow tomatoes, making things with our hands or considering our individual impact on our surroundings.Whether you’re craving a major life transformation or to introduce something as small as growing mushrooms, Kirsten and Nick have a thoughtful philosophy to change that we can all adopt: make incremental changes where we are, with what we have, doing what we can.
