In this encore episode of Down the Garden Path, Joanne shares tips for choosing fall mums and asters. Topics covered in this week's episode: Chrysanthemums, many horticultural varieties and cultivars exist including tender florist mums (a favourite of mine because of how long they stay blooming in a vase). Or Garden mums, more commonly known as fall mums. All Chrysanthemums are native to East Asia and Northeastern Europe. They became popular in North American gardening during the early to mid-20th century. Overall, fall or autumn gardening in the U.S. became particularly prominent in the 1950s and 1960s. Their popularity grew thanks to their vibrant colours of mums—ranging from deep reds and oranges to yellows and purples—this made them a popular choice for fall displays. Their ability to bloom late into the season and withstand cooler temperatures also contributed to their popularity in autumn gardening. Fall mums grown for our gardens are fertilized and pruned heavily to maintain their dense growth while in containers. It is possible to overwinter them in the garden but without regular maintenance, they can get quite large (tall and wide over a season or two). You often hear of gardeners or articles mentioning mid-summer to cut back or pinch back the foliage on garden mums that are being grown in the garden to slow down their growth and size. If growing in the garden, they benefit from mulching to protect them from the freeze and thaw most of us experience in our Ontario gardens or gardens in zones 4-6. They can be prone to spider mites and aphids as well as powdery mildew. Mildew especially if they are allowed to get large in the garden and then crowd with other plants and especially when there is high humidity and/or overhead watering. The downside of mums: As a designer, my goal is to create gardens that are all season with something happening at all times and for there really not be a need for high-maintenance annuals. I do realize that there are times and places in the yard where one might want a pop of colour -- even me! Potted mums perform much better in cooler temperatures. Unfortunately, garden centres seem to start selling them earlier and earlier each season. They are thirsty plants when in pots, especially in the heat. If the pots aren't watered regularly they die very quickly and I think homeowners think they can revive them. Once they have dried out, they are a throwaway plant. Don't get me started on the plastic waste they generate! A better plant option for fall: asters! There are 32 different species of aster in Ontario and over 100 species in North America. There is a place for one in every garden or even a pot if you choose! While some pollinators might visit garden mums for pollen that is where the benefit ends. Asters not only supply pollen for honeybees and native bees, they also feed adult butterflies and we all want more of those in our gardens. They are host plants or over 100 species of caterpillars, nature's bird feeders. Where there are caterpillars, there will be birds! You may be lucky to find New England asters in pots at your big box store. They are transplantable and will overwinter in the garden. In addition to the New England asters, there are several other native varieties that are sold in the perennial section of your garden centres. There is a variety of aster for every garden. New England Asters Symphyotrichum novaeangliae: (purple, light purple) Full to part sun, blooms August to October, moist average soil. Swamp Aster Symphyotrichum puniceum: (purple, light purple) Full to part sun, August to October, wet garden area White Wood Eurybia divaricate: Part shade to full shade, September to October and will grow in a garden from moist to dry. Heart Leaf Aster Symphyotrichum cordifolium: (lavender to light blue) Part shade to full shade, September to October, medium to dry soil Note: It is also recommended to pinch back or cut back asters in June to prevent them from getting too big and floppy.

Ne viens vien Latvijas iedzīvotājs, kurš seko līdzi Eiropas čempionātam basketbolā un jau pirms kāda laika savus sporta apavus kāris vadzī, šajās dienās noteikti sajuta vēlmi atgriezties laukumā. Bet ar vēlmi ir par maz. Nepieciešams arī kur un ar ko spēlēt. Par iespējām amatieriem uzspēlēt basketbolu interesējamies raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Stāsta Latvijā lielākās basketbola līgas amatieriem vadītājs Krišs Rauska un "Pasportosim.lv" vadītājs Jānis Sprukts. "Mēs kopā ar domubiedriem gan no hokeja, gan no volejbola izveidojām kopīgu platformu, attiecīgi mēs visi trīs sporti brālīgi ejam kopā un mēģinām kaut kādā veidā attīstīt entuziastu, amatieru sportu un padarītu to profesionālāku," stāsta Krišs Rauska. Viņš atzīst, ka spēlētāju diapazons ir ļoti plašs. "Mums spēlē gan jaunieši, kas tikko pabeiguši sporta skolu, gan pieauguši cilvēki, kuriem ir 30 līdz 40 gadi, arī veterāni, kuriem jau ir pie 60 gadiem, spēlē gan tēvi ar dēliem, kuriem ir 15 - 16 gadi, kuri vēlas uzspēlēt ar saviem vecākiem. Diapazons ir ļoti plašs - gan vīrieši, gan sievietes," norāda Krišs Rauska. Arī spēku samērs un spēju ziņa sportisti ir dažādi. "Ir gan bijušie Latvijas izlases spēlētāji, ir spēlētāji, kuri augstākajā līgā spēlējuši, gan tādi, kas šobrīd spēlē otrajā līgā pēc spēka, trešajā līgā. Gluži to nevar nosaukt pilnīgi par amatieru līgu," atzīst Krišs Rauska. "Bet ir arī apakšējās divīzijas, kurās var spēlēt spēlētāji, kuri ir tik tikko sajutuši to kāri pašiem pamēģināt uzspēlēt basketbolu, iziet ārā no treniņu režīma un beidzot paspēkoties ar citiem un saprast, kāds ir viņu līmenis." Komandas veido gan darba kolektīvi, gan domubiedri, reizēm arī palīdz cilvēkiem apvienoties komandā vai kādam, kas meklē, kur spēlēt, iesaka, kurai komandai varētu pievienoties. Jānis Sprukts iepazīstina ar to, kā viņa pārstāvētajā organizācijā notiek komandu veidošana. "Cilvēks, kurš grib atsākt spēlēt pēc kaut kādas pauzītes, viņš var aizpildīt anketu, norādīt savu spēlētprasmi, un tad mēs viņam atrodam vispiemērotāko treniņu," skaidro Jānis Sprukts. "Basketbolā un volejbolā galvenā sāls ir atrast tādu grupu, kura spēlē daudzmaz tavā līmenī. Ja tu aiziesi spēlēt ar cilvēkiem, kas spēlē daudz labāk nekā tu vai daudz sliktāk, nebūs interesanti. Daudzus tas pat var demotivēt, tāpēc ir svarīgi tieši atrast tādu grupu, kura būtu piemērota." Lai novērtētu katra sportot gribētāja spējas, viņš aizpilda anketu, kurā raksturo savu iepriekšējo pieredzi. Papildus pieejami video, kur var redzēt dažādu grupu spēles līmeni, un cilvēks var paskatīties, kura grupa būtu piemērotāka. Vārdos raksturot savu spēles līmeni ir sarežģīti. "Volejbolā tur ir svarīgi trāpīt īstajā līmenī, jo citādi spēle vispār neiet," norāda Jānis Sprukts. Bauskas novadā basketbols ir viens no top sporta veidiem, vienlaicīgi ar futbolu un florbolu. Bauskas novada čempionātā sacenšas 10 - 11 komandas no visa novada. Ierakstā uzklausām Bauskas novada basketbolistus.

„Mums patinka lėtas švietimas, tad pirmiausia ugdome pagarbą vieni kitiems, o paskui – per meną ir kultūrą - keliaujame į akademinius tikslus“, - pasakoja vaikų meninės studijos „Diemedis“ vadovai: edukologas Virgilijus Pupeikis ir kompozitorė Rasa Dikčienė. Šios Vilniaus ugdymo įstaigos istoriją norisi pristatyti ne tik dėl unikalumo, bet ir dėl aktualumo, nes per 35-erius Lietuvos nepriklausomybės metus vis dar ieškome kelių, kaip užauginti atvirą, pilietišką ir laimingą žmogų.Redaktorė Jūratė Kuodytė.

Eiropas basketbola čempionātā sākas izšķirošās spēle. Šodien, 6. septembrī, norisināsies četras pirmās astotdaļfināla spēles. Vienā no tām Latvijas izlase tiksies ar lietuviešiem. Spēles sākums plkst. 18.30. Lietuvieši savas apakšgrupas spēles aizvadīja Tamperē, uzvarēja četrās no piecām cīņām - dienvidu kaimiņi pārspēja Lielbritāniju, Melnkalni, Somiju un Zviedriju, bet zaudēja pagaidām perfekti spēlējošajai Vācijai. Latvija apakšgrupā zaudēja Turcijai un Serbijai, bet uzveica Igauniju, Portugāli un Čehiju. Lietuvas izlasei šajā Eiropas čempionātā traumas dēļ vairs nepalīdz pirmais saspēles vadītājs Roks Jokubaitis, bet Latvijai arī savainojuma dēļ vairs nepalīdz uzbrucējs Andrejs Gražulis. Latvijas un Lietuvas basketbola izlase 21.gadsimtā finālturnīros tikušās piecreiz - lietuvieši uzvarējuši trīsreiz, bet latvieši divreiz. Mums, protams, zīmīgākās ir abas Latvijas uzvaras: 2001.gadā arī astotdaļfinālā latvieši triumfēja ar 94:76 (starp citu 15 punktus tajā spēlē guva mūsu kolēģis Uvis Helmanis), bet 2023.gada Pasaules kausā cīņā par piekto vietu Latvija uzvarēja ar 98:63. Kur slēpjas lietuviešu spēks un kā vērtēt Latvijas izlases līdzšinējo sniegumu, stāsta bijušais Latvijas izlases saspēlēs vadītājs, kurš jau ilgstoši Lietuvā strādā par treneri, Sandis Buškevics. Vēl šodien Turcija spēkosies ar Zviedriju, Francija tiksies ar Gruziju un Serbija spēkosies ar Somiju.

Būtu ideāli, ja primāri mēs izvēlētos Latvijā ražotu pārtiku, bet mūsdienās tikai ar patriotismu cauri netiksi. Vietējam ražotājam nepieciešami trumpji, ar ko pārliecināt patērētāju izvēlēties pašmāju preci. Ar ko iespējams "pārtrumpot" importēto pārtiku? Raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot vērtē Latvijas Pārtikas uzņēmumu federācijas padomes priekšsēdētāja Ināra Šure, Latvijas Lauku konsultāciju un izglītības centra Lauku attīstības nodaļas vadītāja Elīna Ozola, uzņēmuma "FOOD UNION" vadītājs Eiropā un Latvijā Artūrs Čirjevskis un Latvijas maiznieku biedrības pārstāvis maizniekmeistars Normunds Skauģis. "Mūsu pircējs izvēlas vidusceļu, gan skatās kvalitāti, gan skatās, kas ir iepakojumā, gan arī skatās uz drošību," norāda Ināra Šure. "Jo loģistikas ķēde ir īsāka, jo drošāka ir pārtika," turpina Ināra Šure. "Tas nozīmē, ka visērtākā un vislabākā ir vietējā pārtika ar savu kvalitāti, jo mūsu pārtikā ir trīs galvenie kritēriji – drošība, kvalitāte un atbalstām vietējo ražotāju. Šie "trīs vienā" ir svarīgākais, ko vajadzētu saprast pircējam, pat ja ir nedaudz dārgāks produkts, ir savai veselībai labāk, tautai un valstij labāk." Artūrs Čirjevskis salīdzina ar Dāniju un vērtē, ka tur sentiments pēc vietējiem ražojumiem ir mazāks, nekā novēro Latvijā. "Tādu plašu plauktu ar svaigiem produktiem, kā Latvijā, varbūt arī Baltijā, jūs nekur neredzēsiet. Tik daudz svaiga sortimenta - deserti, jogurti, biezpiena sieriņi. Lielākoties Rietumeiropā plauktā var redzēt 4-5 jogurtus un tie paši būs vienkārši, bez lielām ogām, iekļāvumiem," atzīst Artūrs Čirjevskis. Ināra Šure tomēr norāda, ka piena produktu segmentā vajadzētu vairāk orientēties uz vietējiem, jo tikai 50 % ir vietējais piens.  "Igaunijā gandrīz 90% pērk vietējo produktu, Lietuvā tas ir nedaudz zemāk. Mums ir izteikti tas, ka aizvedam pienu daudz uz Lietuvu un atved jau ar pievieno vērtību produktu. Tas nav pareizi. Svarīgas ir tirgotāju stratēģijas," vērtē Ināra Šure. Ar savu produkciju noteikti varam nodrošināt Latviju gan ar jogurtiem, gan sieriņiem, gan pienu. Tas, ka plauktā stāv importa jogurti, sviests, ir ļoti nepareizi no vietējo tirgotāju stratēģijām."

2024. gadā Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes pētnieki aizsāka ekspedīcijas, kuru pirmsākumi meklējami mērnieku laikos - iedzīvotāju antropoloģisko mērīšanu. Pagājušajā vasarā tā bija Piebalga, šogad lauka pētījumi turpinās Kurzemē. Kādus mūsdienu iedzīvotāju veselības, ķermeņa uzbūves un demogrāfiskos rādītājus pētnieki ieguvuši? Kā esam mainījušies vēstures gaitā? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā skaidro Arta Grabčika, Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Anatomijas un antropoloģijas institūta asistente, projekta administratore, un Jānis Vētra, Rīgas Stradiņa Universitātes profesors, Anatomijas laboratorijas vadošais pētnieks. "Šajā gadā mēs izvēlējāmies mērījumus veikt trīs pilsētās. Tā varbūt ir tāda būtiska atšķirība no 30. gadiem, kad pārsvarā bija izvēlēti lauku ciemati vai pat viensētas daudzos gadījumos. Mēs izvēlējāmies Kuldīgu, Liepāju un Ventspili," skaidro Jānis Vētra. "Atsaucība bija negaidīti liela. Pētījums katrā pilsētā ilga nepilnas piecas dienas no trešdienas līdz svētdienai, Kuldīgā mums bija 423, Liepājā - 563 dalībnieki nepilnās piecās dienās un Ventspilī - 380 dalībnieku.  Lai ilustrētu, ko tas nozīmē mūsu komandai, kurā ir četri pētnieki, 15 studenti un vēl trīs skenētāji no mūsu partneru firmas, kopumā šai it kā diezgan lielajai komandai, tomēr Liepājā mums vienā dienā ierodas 160 cilvēku. Mums viņi ir jāreģistrē, jāizskaidro pētījums, viņiem ir jāparaksta diezgan apjomīga informētā piekrišana. Viņiem ir jāveic spirometrija, tas ir, elpošanas pārbaude, asinsspiediens jānomēra, viņiem ir jāveic antropometriskie mērījumi ķermenim, pēc tam vēl ir 3D skenēšana, vēl fotografēšana, vēl asinis jānoņem. Ja, piemēram, Rīgas Austrumu klīniskā universitātes slimnīcā diennaktī ir 250 apmeklētāju, mums deviņās stundās -160. Dienas beigās, kad jautāju studentiem, vai viņi vēl ies uz jūru, viņi teica - ar labu nakti."

Lai gan valstī vērojams darba roku trūkums, cilvēkiem ar invaliditāti atrast darbu joprojām ir problēmas. Cik pieprasītas darba tirgū ir personas ar invaliditāti un kā ieinteresēt darba devējus nodarbināt šādus cilvēkus? Par integrāciju darba tirgū sarunā piedalās biedrības "Ilgtspējīgas uzņēmējdarbības atbalstam" un sociālā uzņēmuma "Ligero" vadītāja Liene Reine-Miteva, Invalīdu un viņu draugu apvienības "Apeirons" vadītājs Ivars Balodis, kā arī sociālā mentore Inese Raisa-Reisa, kas darbojas kā asistents darba procesā. "Visgrūtāk ir cilvēkiem, kuriem ir intelektuālās attīstības traucējumi, kuriem neesam pievērsuši uzmanību tik daudz. Kur nav speciālas atbalsta politikas, nav speciāli integrējošu pasākumu, lai radītu izpratni par dažādām invaliditātēm. Darba devēji arī ir neizpratnē, nezina, kā rīkoties vienā vai otrā gadījumā. Labprāt ņemtu kādu darbā, bet nav gatavi ieguldīt daudz laika un pūļu, lai vienu vai otru lietu iemācītu. Rezultātā sabiedrība bieži ir neizpratnē," vērtē Ivars Balodis. Bieži vien arī paši cilvēki nav motivēti, jo sociālo pakalpojumu politika ir tāda, ka bieži strādāt ir neizdevīgāk, nekā saņemt pabalstu. Tas arī atspoguļojas nodarbinātībās situācijā. "Mēs cenšamies pārvarēt attieksmi, ka no vienas puses labprāt kaut ko nodrošinātu, no otras puses - ļaut cilvēkiem strādāt. Nebūs tā, ka tagad visiem ir jāstrādā, šim procesam jābūt no bērnības, jāmācās skolā kopā, jābūt atbalsta mehānismiem gan darba devējiem, gan pašiem cilvēkiem, jābūt sistēmai, kas darba prasmes un iemaņas iemāca. Tikai pēc tam varam runāt, ka sistēma ir mainījusies un attieksme ir mainījusies," atzīst Ivars Balodis. Kā cilvēki ar invaliditāti šobrīd tiek iesaistītidarba tirgu? Par pieredzi kādā no mazumtirdzniecības veikalu tīklā un ēdināšanas iestādē interesējās Daina Zalamane. Runājot par mentoru piesaisti cilvēku ar invaliditāti iesaistei darbā, Ivars Balodis vērtē, ka lielāka atbildība jāuzņemas valstij un finansējumam vajadzētu būt no Valsts nodarbinātības aģentūras budžeta.  "ja būtu atbilstošs atalgojums, mentorus varētu atrast ļoti daudz," uzskata Inese Raisa-Reisa. "Tikai vajadzētu atrast pareizo pieeju apmaksas sistēmai. Mums ir daudz bijušo mediķu, kas labi saprot šo tēmu, pedagogi visās vecuma grupās. Domāju, ka cilvēki būtu ieinteresēti." Liene Reine-Miteva piebilst, ka vērtīgas būtu apmācības mentoriem.

Salesforce RVP Lauren McGuire has lived the full arc of modern sales leadership. She started as an SDR in California, helped build high-performing BDR teams through hypergrowth and an IPO, jumped into AE management at multiple startups, then relocated to London with two young children to scale regional teams. In this conversation, Lauren opens up about what those chapters really felt like and how she kept her family at the center while growing her career. We talk through the early return to work after maternity leave in the US, the adrenaline of standing up outbound engines from scratch, and the reality of being close to the pulse of a startup when you also have small humans who need dinner at six. Lauren shares how a move to the UK reshaped family logistics, school choices, and the friendships that make a new city feel like home. Lauren breaks down the difference between leading inside a large, established company and the all-hands-on-deck energy of startups, including where exposure to decision making is plentiful and where it is limited. She explains her leadership style, why empathy is a performance tool, and how she aligns coaching moments to each person's long-term goals so the tough days still make sense. We also get practical. Lauren walks us through the weekly rhythm that keeps her household running, the role of an after-school nanny, and the simple agreements that reduce friction at home. There is gym time at 6 a.m., shared calendars, planned meals, and just enough spontaneity on weekends to keep it fun. Her final takeaways are clear. Build a structure that fits your life, protect time for your health, and remember that family wellbeing is the foundation everything else sits on.

Victory in Epping! #jongaunt #Starmer #ImmigrationCrisis #Epping #BellHotel #IllegalMigrants #RwandaPlan #UKpolitics #Dover #Deportation #StateOfEmergency Victory in Epping! A judge has ordered the Bell Hotel to remove all illegal migrants within 14 days. The people stood up — and they WON.  But Britain is still being betrayed. Starmer has scrapped Rwanda, left our borders wide open, and proven he is weak.  Trump showed that strength works — he crushed illegal immigration in America within months. Starmer has delivered nothing but chaos. Now it's time for action.  A State of Emergency must be declared. Troops must be sent to Dover. The Navy must patrol the Channel. Every hotel must be cleared. Illegal migrants must be housed only in secure army camps, behind barbed wire, in tents — not in our communities. New arrivals must be returned immediately to France. The ECHR must be torn up.  The people demand deportation — not accommodation.  Starmer has lost control. Britain must take it back.  #Starmer #ImmigrationCrisis #Epping #BellHotel #IllegalMigrants #RwandaPlan #UKPolitics #Dover #Deportation #StateOfEmergency #JonGaunt  Starmer, immigration crisis, Epping, Bell Hotel, illegal migrants, Rwanda plan, UK borders, Dover, deportation, state of emergency, Navy in the Channel, troops at Dover, asylum seekers UK, migrant hotels, Britain border control  This video is a politics blog and social commentary by award winning talk radio star, Jon Gaunt

Rog, Bryce, Mulls, Ryan and Mitch join you for today's podcast intro chatting about Mums, and Radio Fights.

This week on Mums on Cloud Nine, we're joined once again by Rachel Vecht, founder of Educating Matters, for a rich and practical conversation about supporting parents in the workplace. Whether you're an employer designing family-friendly policies, a line manager juggling team needs, or a parent navigating work and home life, this episode offers grounded advice for building a more inclusive and supportive work culture. We explore why parenting brings a unique set of challenges—from emotional load and childcare logistics to identity shifts and persistent guilt and how these experiences can affect performance, confidence, and retention at work. Rachel draws on over two decades of experience supporting global organisations, and shares what actually works when it comes to policy, culture, and peer support. We also discuss the role of flexibility, the importance of modelling healthy boundaries, how to advocate for better support (even during job interviews), and why workplace culture often matters more than what's written in the policy handbook. Plus, we reflect on the emotional impact of good managers, how to avoid assumptions, and why parenting is one of the best training grounds for time management, resilience, and empathy. Rachel shares how any employee—parent or not—can be an advocate for change, and why making space for real conversations is one of the simplest but most powerful things any company can do.

Trump #NationalGuard #Starmer #UKPolitics #BorderCrisis #ElectionNow #SadiqKhan #JonGaunt While Donald Trump takes decisive action in Washington DC, deploying the National Guard to restore order, the UK drifts deeper into chaos under Sir Keir Starmer's watch. From the southern border to the streets of DC, Trump proves where there's a will, there's a way. Meanwhile, in Britain, the political establishment sits on its hands: Illegal crossings surge as the Channel remains unguarded. Crime spirals as shoplifters walk free and police focus on tweets, not streets. London is plagued with violent crime, yet we get painted signs on pavements warning of phone snatchers instead of officers catching them. Like Washington, our capital needs cleaning up – and then we must move through the rest of the UK. Communities protest outside migrant hotels as tensions mount. 650,000 people have signed a petition demanding an election. Mums are protesting. Vigilante groups are forming. The UK needs action now – troops at Dover, the Navy in the Channel, and real policing on our streets.

On this week's Mums on Cloud Nine podcast, we're tackling a challenge that shows up in almost every area of life: getting people to truly listen. Whether it's your kids tuning you out, your partner missing the point, or colleagues distracted by a never-ending to-do list, the frustration is universal. Joining Heather for this conversation is Ruth Kudzi, CEO and founder of Optimus Coach Academy, who has spent years teaching coaching skills to leaders, managers, and aspiring coaches. Ruth shares why listening is at the heart of strong relationships, why we sometimes fail to hear each other, and how we can create an environment where people want to engage. They explore the subtle cues that make us feel valued, the role of trust and safety in communication, and how distractions, both external and internal, derail conversations before they have even begun. Ruth also explains how coaching skills, even at a basic level, can improve listening, build stronger connections, and encourage more productive exchanges. The discussion moves from the personal to the professional, with examples of how to approach tricky moments at home, including with children who have boundless energy or short attention spans, and strategies for workplace conversations where timing, tone, and empathy make all the difference. Ruth also offers insight into the training options at Optimus Coach Academy, from short online courses for everyday communication to accredited diplomas for leaders and professional coaches. Whatever your role, she believes coaching skills can help you become more present, more curious, and ultimately more effective in every conversation you have.

Today, I'm joined by Chris Gates, a fitness coach who specialises in helping busy parents build sustainable health and fitness routines. We break down why doing “more” isn't the answer, how flexible dieting can be incredibly effective for parents, and how even two workouts a week can transform your strength. Chris also dives into simple nutrition habits, the importance of behaviour change, and why leading by example for your kids matters more than you think.

When you're the one everyone turns to, who supports you? In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Rebecca Daniel and Sarah Bramall, co-founders of The Coaching Catalysts, to talk about something that doesn't get nearly enough airtime—coaching supervision. We explore how leaders can create space for themselves in a world that constantly demands they show up strong. Sarah and Rebecca unpack the emotional load of leadership, explain what supervision really is (hint: it's not therapy or coaching), and share why it's essential for anyone managing people, especially those blending leadership with a coaching mindset. We talk messy minds, blurred boundaries, and the power of having a protected space to process, reflect, and recharge. If you've ever felt like you're holding it all together for everyone else while quietly falling apart inside, this episode is for you. You'll learn: What coaching supervision is and how it differs from coaching or therapy Why leaders need a space to offload without judgement or agenda How the emotional labour of leadership shows up (and what happens if it goes unchecked) The benefits of slowing down, even if your brain is already in 2026 How organisations can build safer, more supportive coaching cultures Whether you're a qualified coach, a team leader, or simply the go-to person in your circle, this conversation will make you think differently about how you care for yourself, so you can keep showing up for others.

This conversation with Helen Rebanks was recorded live and on stage at the 2025 Old Salt Festival, held on the Mannix Family Ranch in Helmville, Montana. If you were there, you know how special the moment was. If you weren't—well, I'm glad you're here now. Even though we were on a stage, in front of a crowd, the conversation had the quiet, reflective feel of two friends talking over a kitchen table—fitting, given how much of Helen's story centers around that most sacred of domestic spaces. Helen is the author of "The Farmer's Wife: My Life in Days," a beautiful and deeply grounded book about food, family, work, and the often invisible labor that holds it all together. In this wide-ranging conversation, we talk about the joys and struggles of farm life, raising kids, writing honestly without self-pity, and why the kitchen table might just be the most important place in the world. Helen shares stories from her own life and reads a few powerful passages from the book—including one that could double as the Old Salt manifesto. A huge thank you to Cole Mannix, the Mannix family, and the Old Salt crew for making this event—and this conversation—possible. It's not every day that a bestselling British author makes the trek to a working ranch in western Montana, but Helen did just that, along with her husband James and two of their four children, Molly and Tom. I'm so happy they made the journey, and I came away deeply grateful for the time we shared and the conversations we had. Whether you're a rancher, parent, reader, cook, or just someone trying to live a life of purpose and connection, Helen's story has something for you. So give it a listen—and if you haven't already, pick up a copy of "The Farmer's Wife." You'll be glad you did.
