She walked Valentino runways at $10,000 a day, built a media career that spanned some of Australia's biggest brands, and was awarded Gold in Fashion & Textiles and Silver in Agriculture & Farming at the Women Changing the World Global Awards in London, 2025. And then she moved to a sheep station in Walcha, New South Wales.But here's what makes Vanessa Bell's story genuinely worth your time: this isn't a fish-out-of-water tale about a city woman finding herself on the land. It's a masterclass in what happens when someone with serious commercial firepower looks out across a paddock and asks, what is actually possible here?Vanessa is the Founder and CEO of her eponymous Australian luxury knitwear brand — crafted from Merino wool grown on her own property and produced with leading Italian mills. A Woolmark Licensee and RWS-certified wool grower, she works at the intersection of fashion, agriculture and sustainability, and champions natural fibres as the future of luxury. She also hosts the Fashion to Farmer podcast and speaks internationally on traceability, regenerative agriculture, and the global value of Australian Merino wool.In this conversation with Ben Law, she gets into the real thinking behind building a business that operates at both ends of the value chain — from what happens in the shearing shed all the way to the global consumer.What made her walk away from a career that had taken her from the runways of Tokyo and Vienna to the boardrooms of Sydney? What does it actually look like to grow wool fit for purpose — and then partner with one of Italy's most exclusive production houses to turn it into a globally recognised luxury knitwear label? How do you build a brand that refuses to discount, holds its value over time, and is designed to last a decade? And what does Vanessa believe is the real difference between farming families who talk about diversifying and those who actually do it?There's also a pointed conversation about what farming families might be leaving on the table — not because they lack opportunity, but because of the way they think about what they produce and where their role in it ends. Vanessa challenges that thinking directly.

This interview is brought to you in partnership with Eisai and is part of the Journey to Diagnosis series.Eisai: https://www.eisai.com/index.htmlJourney to Diagnosis: https://beingpatient.com/journey-to-diagnosis/Nancy Nelson received an early-onset Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2013 — news that changed her life and forced her to rethink what the future could look like. Nelson has channeled her diagnosis into creativity and advocacy, publishing three poetry books, participating in research, and leading early-stage support groups for others living with dementia. She later received a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment in 2018.Nelson joined forces with Kat Hartley, a pharmacist and brain health professional whose personal life and career have been shaped by Alzheimer's across generations of her family. Together, they co-founded dangle & dot, a social enterprise built to challenge stigma and reimagine what it looks like to live, work, and connect with dementia.In this conversation with Being Patient's founder, Deborah Kan, Nelson reflects on the power of early diagnosis and the value of staying socially engaged after a diagnosis. Hartley offers the perspective of a care partner and advocate working to replace the usual tragedy narrative with one rooted in dignity, resilience, and connection. Their discussion highlights a central message: while dementia brings real change, purpose, community, and support can still shape a rich and active life.---If you loved listening to this Live Talk, visit our website to find more of our Alzheimer's coverage and subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.beingpatient.com/Follow Being Patient: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Being_Patient_Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beingpatientvoices/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beingpatientalzheimersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/being-patientBeing Patient is an editorially independent journalism outlet for news and reporting about brain health, cognitive science, and neurodegenerative diseases.

For more than a century, conventional urban planning has prioritized the efficient movement of passengers from the core to the periphery. But what if this system ignores the transportation needs of most people? In this episode, host Nick Perloff-Giles sits down with Melissa Bruntlett, author of "Women Changing Cities: Global Stories of Urban Transformation", a book that showcases how female leaders are transforming cities through people-focused, sustainable, and inclusive urban design, using case studies from cities like Paris, Bogotá, and Manila to highlight their success in creating safer, more livable spaces.

In this final Women Changing the World episode, AJ Sharp sits down with chef and restaurateur Ayesha Kalaji to talk about building a career on her own terms, from studying Middle Eastern politics to earning four consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmands at Queen of Cups in Glastonbury. They get into the realities of being a woman in professional kitchens, the outdated stereotypes that still linger, and why real change in hospitality has to come from within. Ayesha also shares how she went from working in other people's kitchens to opening her own restaurant, staying fiercely true to herself, and turning joy, warmth and bold flavour into her signature style. It's a brilliant conversation about resilience, identity, leadership and what happens when you stop trying to fit the mould and build your own table instead.

In this special International Women's Day series episode of Food Rebels, Women Changing the World, AJ Sharp sits down with Donna Edwards, founder of Kent-based skincare brand Fox and Bloom. Donna shares the story behind her journey from part-time teacher to natural skincare entrepreneur, sparked by a life-changing mindfulness course that helped her rethink how she wanted to live and work.    Drawing on her upbringing in a farming family and a background in applied biology, Donna created a range of 100% natural, waterless skincare products designed to support the skin's natural barrier rather than overwhelm it with unnecessary ingredients. Her philosophy is rooted in simplicity: fewer ingredients, less waste, and a return to natural foundations.    In the conversation, AJ and Donna explore surprising parallels between food and skincare, from the dangers of ultra-processed ingredients to the growing consumer shift toward transparency and healthier choices in everything we consume or apply to our bodies.   They also discuss the realities of building a business later in life, challenging the myth that entrepreneurship is only for the young. Donna explains why starting a business in your 40s can bring clarity, experience and confidence, and shares practical advice for anyone considering taking the leap.   From mindfulness and lifestyle businesses to integrity in product creation, this episode is a thoughtful conversation about slowing down, trusting your instincts and building something meaningful on your own terms.   Listeners can also enjoy 15% off Fox and Bloom skincare throughout March using the code REBELS15.

In this episode of our Women Changing the World series, AJ Sharp is joined by Emma Loder-Symonds of Nonington Farms in Kent, a regenerative arable farm proving that producing food and restoring nature can go hand in hand. Emma and her husband James are challenging conventional, high-input agriculture by putting nature back at the centre of every farming decision. It's about community, collaboration and why more women are helping lead change in farming. Emma and AJ discuss soil biology, skylarks at dawn, blending wheat varieties, and the quiet revolution happening beneath our feet.  If you care about ultra-processed food, food security, climate impact or simply better bread, this episode will make you feel hopeful about the future of British farming.

In this episode, Laura chats to Melissa Bruntlett about her new book, Women Changing Cities: Global Stories of Urban Transformation.Melissa is an urbanist, author, and founder of Modacity, an urban mobility consultancy - and one half of urbanist power couple, Chris and Melissa Bruntlett. Melissa and Chris have authored two books to date, Building the Cycling City, and Curbing Traffic. Their social media posts from around the world feature positive examples of change, and inspiration for other cities and advocates. Originally from Canada, the couple have settled in the Netherlands, and often share experiential learning from one of the world's greatest cycling nations. The book's narrative begins with pandemic street changes, and asks what was going on, beyond the public health emergency, that allowed the urban landscape to change? Why can cities do things differently at certain points in time, and how are women a part of that. The Bruntletts argue it's about listening and being humble, and taking that listening and humility with you into streetspace solutions. There are stories from leadership in Paris, Barcelona, Montreal and Bogota. There is also a grassroots angle, looking at a groundswell from young people in Manila, that spurred bike lanes in the city.The book: Women Changing Cities: Global Stories of Urban Transformation, by Melissa and Chris Bruntlett, is out in October 2025: https://www.ribabooks.com/Women-Changing-Cities-Global-stories-of-urban-transformation_9781915722409Melissa's project, Modacity Creative: https://modacitycreative.com/Melissa and Chris' work: https://www.modacitylife.com/For ad-free listening, behind-the-scenes and bonus content and to help support the podcast - head to (https://www.patreon.com/StreetsAheadPodcast).

Cowgirls love the rodeo just as much as cowboys, but for the better part of the past century, there's only been one event for women – until now. Breakaway roping, dubbed the fastest event in rodeo, has swept competitions across North America, and is corralling more space for cowgirls in the process.The Globe's Jana Pruden was at the 50th Canadian Finals Rodeo this fall, where the second-ever women's event was showcased at the country's biggest rodeo for the first time. She speaks with Canadian breakaway ropers and gives us a sense of the history of women in rodeo, and just how hard they've worked to rope and ride alongside the cowboys.This episode originally aired January 14, 2025.Questions?
