Care More Be Better: A Podcast For Sustainable Social Impact and Regeneration

In this eye-opening bonus episode, originally aired on Nutrition Without Compromise, host Corinna Bellizzi interviews Kelly Ryerson—better known as Glyphosate Girl.

In this conversation with Corinna Bellizzi, he shares how they help children secure a safe and comfortable place to lay their heads every single night. Luke explains how they take advantage of community involvement to boost their bed-building efforts and significantly reduce costs. He also discusses how to make non-profit fundraising efforts more effective, why founders should master the art of storytelling, and what it takes to avoid the dreaded mission creep.

Today’s divisive society and political climate have been changing the concept of diversity, equity, and inclusion or DEI. Instead of bringing people together regardless of social status, age, belief, or skin color, it is slowly becoming a cuss word used to demean and hurt. HR/DEI practitioner Natalie Norfus utilizes her years of problem-solving experience to address this pushback that currently hurts growth, accessibility, and opportunity in every workplace. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, she explains how DEI, despite not having a one-size-fits-all model, is crucial in dismantling the white supremacy culture. Natalie also discusses how the lack of a clear definition for DEI has led to its weaponization and how company leaders can commit to shutting down such advances.

A single cell of carbon contains trillions of molecules, and its role in connecting all life is immeasurable. American environmentalist Paul Hawken decided to study indigenous languages to further explore the beauty of the most versatile element on the planet that animates the entirety of the living world. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he talks about his book “Carbon: The Book of Life” and how it opened his eyes to the fact that regeneration is the singular key to humanity’s survival. He stresses the importance of embracing regenerative agricultural practices, nature-based solutions, and indigenous knowledge to ensure the planet’s longevity and sustainability. Paul also explains why he considers “we” as the most dangerous pronoun and how to rethink our daily choices in a world addicted to overconsumption.

About Guest:

Paul Hawken starts ecological businesses, writes about nature and commerce, and consults with heads of state and CEOs on climatic, economic and ecological regeneration. He has written nine books published in 30 languages including six national and New York Times bestsellers: Growing a Business, The Next Economy, The Ecology of Commerce, Blessed Unrest, Drawdown and Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis In One Generation. He is the founder of Project Drawdown, Regeneration.org, and just completed his latest work, Carbon: The Book of Life which is published by Penguin Random House. It was released on March 18, 2025.

Countless clothing items are produced every single day, and when they get worn out or destroyed, they simply pile up in landfills. Cynthia Power is raising awareness about circular economy to address this alarming problem, maximize the lifespan of products, and greatly minimize waste. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, she brings her knowledge as a circular programs expert to discuss how the fashion industry can ditch the Make-Use-Dispose Model and focus more on the sustainable repair economy. She explores how current technologies are being employed to level up resale programs and recycling processes. Cynthia also shares practical tips on how to be mindful of your consumption and start your own sustainable clothing.

About Guest:

Cynthia is a circular-programs expert with 17 years of experience. She previously managed EILEEN FISHER Renew for many years before working at a tech-resale startup. She now works independently across the circular supply chain to enable a circular economy, including building and scaling resale, reuse and recycling programs. Cynthia loves storytelling and building community, which she does with The Untangling Circularity Podcast and member cohorts.
