This episode is a love letter to everyone mothering on stolen land, in displaced bodies, in the precarity of modernity. It is a reminder that queer and Indigenous ways of childrearing and matrilineal care are often similar practices. One and a half years into raising a child and a lifetime into raising themselves in community, executive producer Prinita Thevarajah collages conversations with Vanessa Marian Varghese, Midori Mukai and Ella Noah Bancroft to reveal the ultimate truth: that the violence of modernity world was built off womb envy, and that carework is crucial to survive fascism. Vanessa Marian Varghese is a writer, movement director and community builder exploring movement, identity and contemporary culture through film, live performance and immersive experiences Midori Mukai is a Tkaronto/Toronto based artist and arts facilitator — her creative practice explores ceramics and fine craft. Informed by ancestry, her work highlights traditional approaches off-centre from the Western lensElla Noah Bancroft is a descendent of the peoples of the Bundjalung nation and has bloodlines to England, Poland and Scotland. Australian born artist, storyteller, mentor and founder of “The Returning”. Ella Noah Bancroft is a pioneer for The Decolonisation movement. Through her writing and work Ella has been promoting re-wilding, the rise of the female energy, as way back to deep relationship nature and decolonizing of personal, social and ecological well-being for 10 years.She is widely respected amongst her community and believes in local communities with local economies as a way to find hope for the health of our planet and people.

A proud Bundjalung woman, Mindy was pursuing physiotherapy when she barged onto our screens in on Masterchef in 2012. Since then she's created an impactful career around food and education with Native ingredients being at the centre of everything she does. Mindy was named a Champion of Change at the 2025 World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards, and she's recently reimagined her award-winning restaurant, offering a full experience on country in the Byron hinterland. At Karkalla on Country, guests can take cooking classes or immersive dining experiences. In 2025, Mindy released her first book, Karkalla at Home. Mindy forages, gardens and cooks on the lands of the Bundjalung people in northern New South Wales. Before we get into this beautiful chat, Maddie and Emily are enjoying a Native Pepper Whisky Sour (Native Pepper syrup made with leaves + water + sugar). Emily is obsessing about Euphorbia, lamenting her plant tag organisation system, and is curious about how Dahlias just multiply. Maddie bought her very first rose (an earth angel floribunda), and is obsessed with the old world shape. We're also talking processing tomatoes, Emily's tomato relish, the best honey ever. And then it's into our chat with Mindy. This is a cracker. Hope you love it!
Bundjalung man, Jack Manning Bancroft's scholarship to a prestigious Sydney University college showed him a rarefied world that shocked him, and he used his childhood grit to channel his energy into a world-changing project.Jack's mother is Bundjalung artist, Bronwyn Bancroft. Growing up in inner-Sydney, he was intimidated by her artistic drive and threw himself into sport, because that was the only way a young Jack thought a man could have influence in the world.When he was ten the family moved to Bundjalung country to spend time with his mum's side of the family. The local kids refused to accept that Jack was Aboriginal. He escaped into fantasy books and wrote long letters home to his dad, Ned Manning, in Sydney.Jack received a scholarship to St Paul's College at the University of Sydney and vowed to use his opportunity to increase the number of Indigenous kids at university.The Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) was born and Jack has since used his position to forge connections between communities to foster understanding across the world.Further informationWatch Australian Story featuring Jack and his partner, Yael Stone on iview.Listen to Jack's dad, Ned Manning, on Conversations in 2022.This episode of Conversations was produced by Alice Moldovan.

Jocelyn King is on the show today. Joc is a Bundjalung woman who over the course of her life and career has worked to develop her own understanding of and connection to traditional knowledge systems. She's worked in and around finance for more than a decade, where today she is the Chair of First Australians Capital. At the same time, she's building a farm in NSW's Hunter Valley that reprises First Nations knowledge of caring for and re-awakening Country while adapting regenerative agricultural practices too. Jocelyn walks the talk as she seeks to advocate for First Nations justice, truth telling and self-determination, while also appreciating the limitations of working and interacting with capitalist neoliberal systems that do their best to erode equity, habitats and power dynamics.I was very humbled and very honoured to spend this time with Jocelyn. The sharing she offered and wisdom imparted on me - a non-Indigenous ancestor of colonisers - was remarkable to experience. My efforts as a non-Indigenous man to act in allyship with First Nations people feels too limited for my liking, which I'm ashamed to say, but feels true. My efforts to support, listen and prompt questioning feels like an area I want to evolve and advance this year, which I'm hopeful to do through our upcoming project Eating Country to Save Country. As a white man I was genuinely enthralled and privileged to have this time with Jocelyn.In this chat we cover a lot of ground - from reparations for past harms financiers have facilitated including the origins of banking in Australia to flipping mindsets and stories from extractive to responsibility oriented to the role of listening in truth telling. It felt like we barely scratched the surface but leaves me looking forward to speaking with Jocelyn again in the future.Efforts to make good for the harms perpetrated on First Nations people in this country for over two centuries has a very long way to go. The struggle is sobering but the resolve of Australia's First Nations people is a remarkable story of perseverance, unity and love, and Jocelyn does a beautiful job of offering her own experience, strength and hope here.The April Finding Nature journal hits inboxes this Saturday morning and it's on the topic of unity. Ina ll we heard from Jocelyn today and with that theme in mind, this quote from Tony Evans struck me in our combined efforts to seek voice, treaty and truth in this country: “Unity is oneness of purpose, not sameness of persons.”Til next time, thanks for listening.Events are live and more are coming - follow on Humanitix.Follow on LinkedIn, Substack and Instagram.

Whether you call them traditional foods, native ingredients, bush tucker or something else, what's harvested here is unique. Australia's a “megadiverse” country, home to around 700,000 species. 65,000-year-old grindstones found in a Kakadu rock shelter reflect the long, rich history of First Nations foods here and many plants are nutritional wonders – Kakadu plum has the highest vitamin C level in the world and even Captain Cook used Warrigal greens to save crews from scurvy. But witchetty grubs appear in Sweden's Disgusting Food Museum and native ingredients are largely absent from supermarkets, so are First Nations foods misunderstood and unfairly overlooked? In this episode, Lee Tran Lam talks to proud Bundjalung woman and cookbook author Mindy Woods, Chinese Australian chef Kylie Kwong and proud Mbabaram woman/Torres Strait Islander and nutritionist Sharna Motlap.

First Nations cooking and having native ingredients in every Aussie kitchen is a dream for native food queen and proud Bundjalung woman, MasterChef finalist and fan-favourite Mindy Woods.
In today's episode, I interview Dr. Jason Hawrelak who is a naturopath, herbalist, and nutritionist on Bundjalung country, and is one of the leading experts in the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions with natural medicines. He has nearly 20 years of clinical experience and a deep passion for gastrointestinal health and the gastrointestinal microbiota. I met Jason at the beginning of this year at Marleen Herbs in Tasmania, with some other incredible inspirational herb folk who have been interviewed on this podcast like Greg Whitten, Sue Evans, and Nena Alaschewski, as well as Jason's partner Dawn Whitten, who I will be interviewing soon. Marleen herbs is run by Ronald, Marleen and Emma van de Winckel, who welcomed us all into their home and showed us their amazing farm which grows and makes all of the fresh plant tinctures for PPC herbs which are the only commercial suppliers of fresh plant tinctures in Australia. It really was a great way to start off 2024, and I felt humbled and honoured to have the opportunity to spend time with these incredible people who have all had a big influence and impact on the Australian herbal medicine community and natural health industry. Jason purchased Goulds in Tasmania 17 years ago with Dawn, Greg, and their friends Belinda and Daniel Robson. Jason shares how he was inspired by his time working at Mullum herbals, to create a clinic in Hobart which offered over the counter consultations for low income earners. In this interview Jason also shares his journey of becoming a practitioner and specializing in gastrointestinal health and the human microbiota, and how healing his own chronic health conditions with natural medicine spurred him to want to help others. Jason shares some of his preferred herbs that he uses in his practice, particularly for gut health and microbiome issues. He highlights the selectivity of certain herbs, such as pomegranate, garlic, Nigella sativa, and Bical skullcap, in targeting pathogenic bacteria while leaving beneficial ones intact. In this episode Jason shares some great practical advise on how our listeners can take better care of our microbiome and finishes with some great wisdom about custodianship of our bodies.

Melissa Lucashenko is a Miles Franklin award winning author of Bundjalung and European heritage. Her novels include Killing Darcy, Mullumbimby and Too Much Lip. Today we're going to be discovering her latest, Edenglassie. In the 1850's Meanjin/Brisbane is a mix of people from across the world, some transported for hard time, others drawn to the region for economic gain. Since the invaders arrived the local Yagara people have viewed them with suspicion and curiosity, unsure whether they might ever be able to regain their ancestral lands. Mulanyin has come to the area now known as Edenglassie and there he has discovered the beautiful Nita. Torn between his love and his home Mulanyin must navigate his path into manhood and the fraught times he finds himself in. In 2024 Meanjin/Brisbane is on the verge of two hundred years if settler colonial occupation. That might mean more to Granny Eddie if she wasn't stuck in the hospital waiting for whatever it is these doctors do. Eddie is more than a hundred years old and she's got a few stories to tell about the city. But that doesn't mean she'll give up her secrets easily and certainly not to the first white guy who asks. Edengalssie weaves two tales separated by time but bound by place. Melissa Lucashenko takes us back to the beginnings of the occupied lands around Maiwar, which we now know as the Brisbane River. She reminds us that the land was not unoccupied and in fact these are the traditional lands of the Jagera and Turrball people. Against the backdrop of struggle for dominance we meet Mulanyin and Nita. what follows is ostensibly a love story set to the rhythm of a land that is poised for violence. Mulanyin is certain of his love for Nita but he is also eager to prove himself and unsure of the ways of the white people who are ignorant of the law and the land. Mulanyin and Nita will pursue their love but they must do so in a world that may not want them to succeed. All these stories are so much history to the residents of Granny Eddie's world but she knows the truth. That doesn't mean she's going to tell it straight. As Granny Eddie's tales of early Brisbane bring her fame and notoriety she watches her niece Winona and her Doctor Johnny play out their own courting rituals. Johnny's only recently discovered his own blak heritage and that won't fly for Winona. She's sick of people claiming heritage they haven't earned and isn't going to make it easy on him. Edenglassie is a thought provoking, disarming and at times hilarious novel. Through the contrasting narratives Lucashenko effectively overthrows simplistic views of early colonial interventions and reclaims the story on behalf of the people whose land was stolen. She gives us a time when perhaps history may have taken a different direction and allows us to understand the vicissitudes of time and power that shaped the world we live in today. Fast forward to 2024 and Lucashenkpo reminds of the very real and ongoing history those events have created. Through Granny Eddie and particularly in the sparring between Winona and Johnny we see the ongoing pain and struggle to reconcile the past with a present and a future that does not tell the truth. Edenglassie is a tremendous novel and one well worth the reading.

The indigenous Bundjalung people of eastern Australia have long used Tea Tree as a traditional medicine for many years in a variety of ways, including inhaling the oil from the crushed leaves, rubbing leaves on their skin and brewing an infusion of the leaves to make a tea. The latter use is why Captain Cook named the plant the tea tree. One of the areas where tea tree grows in abundance today is called Bungawalbyn, which translates to mean ‘healing ground.' This captures the essence of this plant, which gifts you her essential oil when the leaves are steam-distilled. Today, Tea Tree, the most famous member of the Melaleuca family, is an Australian favourite due to its cleansing and cleaning properties.

Footage from last month's Invasion Day rallies around Australia featured speakers urging those gathered to vote ‘No' in the promised Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum expected later this year. Most Australians would think the vast majority of First Nations people would support a ‘Yes' vote – but that's not necessarily the case. In this two-part special, we speak to advocates from both sides of the debate so we can better understand what's at stake when we eventually get our chance to vote in the referendum. In this episode, we hear from a proud Bundjalung woman and human rights advocate, Vanessa Turnbull Roberts, about why she's opposing the voice.

Today on the podcast, we are graced with the presence of Ella Noah Bancroft, An indigenous-born artist, storyteller, published author, public speaker, mentor, and founder of The Returning Indigenous Organisation. A proud Bundjalung woman- for the past decade, Ella has been deeply invested in decolonizing to thrive across all aspects of community, helping both indigenous and non-indigenous folk connect to the immense depth of knowledge and spirit her culture and this great land holds. Ella, accompanied by Jataya, a young Bundjalung girl she mentors, chats with Mason about the recent Northern Rivers Floods in which she has played an integral role at the Koori Mail hub in Lismore. This 100% volunteer, First Nations-led response team for a natural disaster that shook the Northern Rivers to its core saw our First Nations brothers and sisters protect, support, and provide for a broken community when they had nothing. Ella shares her experience of volunteering at the hub and witnessing her community stand up as a backbone to the people of Lismore. "It's been an incredible way for us to reclaim what our cultural role is here, which is to protect all community, anybody that is on these lands, that we, us that have blood ties to these lands- It's our purpose to be here, to protect everybody. More than human kin and the natural world included in that space". This heart-centered, wisdom-filled conversation is about bridging the disconnect between indigenous and non-indigenous Australia through building better relationships, investing in country and community, and building businesses that replenish and work with the natural world rather than those that extract and destroy it. A must-listen, tune in now. "Business doesn't need to eradicate just because we start to appreciate a more nature based world, or a more reciprocal way of being in the world. Actually, we can thrive and a big part of that thriving, I think is also moving away from individualistic needs and figuring out what community needs". - Ella Noah Bancroft Ella and Mason discuss: -Localisation. -Community. -Mental health. -Investing in community first. -First Nations wisdom; guiding us to a better world. -Lismore floods - the aftermath and where it's at now. -Investing in the natural world over the man-made world. -Koori Mail; A First Nation's led response team in the floods. -Community work for indigenous mob affected by the floods. -Business designed to work with and replenish the natural world. Who is Ella Noah Bancroft? Ella is a Bundjalung woman and also has bloodlines to England, Poland and Scotland. Indigenous born artist, storyteller, published author, public speaker, mentor and founder of “The Returning Indigenous Organisation." Ella has been promoting re-wilding and the importance of system change, as a way back to deep relationship nature and decolonizing of personal, social and ecological well-being for 10 years. She has been on the board for Women Up North since 2019 . Women Up North is a Northern NSW service for women, children and young people who have experienced domestic or family violence or abuse.

About a third of young people follow a 'finfluencer', and heaps of them actually change their financial behaviour as a result. But now Australia's corporate watchdog ASIC is cracking down on people who share unlicensed financial advice on social media. If they don't shut down, they could cop a $1 million fine or even jail time. Plus, there's so much content circulating about the war between Russia and Ukraine. So how do you work out what's real, and what's propaganda? And we chat to Rabbitohs star, Bundjalung and Yuin man Cody Walker. He opens up about the challenges he's faced - grief, injury, isolation - while trying to make it in the NRL. Guests: A/Prof. Matt Sussex, ANU Dr Angel Zhong, RMIT
This week we are rebroadcasting our interview with Ella Noah Bancroft, originally aired in March of 2021. “We forget that so much is given freely, that this world is meant to be enjoyed.” We heed this powerful reminder by guest Ella Noah Bancroft. As our belief systems have become entwined with the dominant economic structure, we see the commodification of our wellness, intimacy, and connectivity - a phenomenon that is severely hindering our ability to connect authentically. In conversation, Ella traces the powerful connection between our ability to go against mainstream capitalist ways of being and our capacity for deep connection with ourselves and each other. With intimacy as an entrance point, our conversation explores what happens when we derive our pleasure from extraction, the kind of deep embodiment and connectivity that threatens capitalistic and colonial structures, and how we can journey back into spaces of trust through practices that don't have to cost us a thing. Ella Noah Bancroft is a Bundjalung woman based in the Northern New South Wales, Australia. Ella identifies as mixed heritage Indigenous, gay woman. She grew up living in both worlds, her Indigenous world and the mainstream Australian world. Both challenged her identity in different ways. She is an Australian born artist, storyteller, mentor and founder of “The Returning” and Yhi Collective. Music by Harrison Foster, Lady Moon & The Eclipse, and Sucúlima.
