  • "I've Never Had New Shoes Before." with Amy Fass, Shoes That Fit

    More than 1.3 million children in the United States are unsheltered — and for many of them, a pair of new athletic shoes is not a given but a barrier, to school attendance, to sports participation, to the simple feeling of belonging. Amy Fass, Executive Director of Shoes That Fit, joins Care More Be Better as the domestic companion to the earlier Because International conversation, bringing the lens of childhood shoe insecurity home. She and host Corinna Bellizzi explore what new shoes actually do for a child's self-esteem, the stories of children transformed by something as simple as a name-brand sneaker, the antiquated federal poverty line that leaves millions uncounted, and how to make a concrete difference when the scale feels overwhelming.

      • Stem Cells: Your Body's Own Repair System | Christian Drapeau, MSc

        Do you know that your body possesses its own innate repair system through the power of regenerative medicine? Stem cell scientist and neurophysiologist Christian Drapeau, MSc joins the show to explore this fascinating topic and how ancient plants can support your body's natural ability to heal. Christian, who is the founder of the supplement company Stemregen and author of the book Cracking the Stem Cell Code, shares his groundbreaking research on how specific plant extracts can naturally stimulate the release of your own stem cells. We explore the paradigm shift in longevity science and how optimizing your innate repair system could change the way we approach health, aging, and disease recovery.

      • From Ideas to Income with AI | Zach And Jason Francis

        Zach and Jason Francis have spent their careers proving that doing more with less is not a constraint — it's a philosophy — from a nine-month sailing trip from San Diego to Australia to building tiny homes on HGTV's Tiny Luxury to Willo, an AI platform that takes a business idea from concept to live website in under ten minutes. The brothers join Care More Be Better to share what 21 days at sea taught them about complexity, why ideas die in spreadsheets, how AI agents work like bees in a hive, and how to use AI as a tool that empowers rather than replaces the human behind the vision.

Season 2, focused on Georgia, is out now.

            • Why Recycling Isn't Enough (Tom Szaky Explains)

              Are you tired of feeling helpless about our growing global garbage crisis? Host Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Tom Szaky, the visionary founder and CEO of TerraCycle and Loop, to discuss why we must start Rethinking Waste. Szaky explains how his companies are transforming hard-to-recycle items, like cigarette butts and dirty diapers, into valuable resources. They unpack how the modern concept of disposability has failed us and why a circular economy is the target for sustainable social impact. You'll discover how the chess pieces of business and policy must align to drive scalable, real-world change. This eye-opening discussion will challenge you to reconsider everything you buy and throw away.

            • Hope Is a Discipline: Angela Glover Blackwell on Democracy, Equity, and Human Flourishing

              Democracy isn't just something we vote for once every few years, it's something we build together, in our neighborhoods, city halls, and everyday relationships. Corinna Bellizzi is joined by Angela Glover Blackwell, founder of PolicyLink and host of Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life, who has spent more than 50 years working at the intersection of racial equity, housing, and civic life. Angela reflects on how growing up during segregation shaped her understanding of community and leadership, explains why she defines democracy as "co-governance for human flourishing," and makes the case that America may be ready for a third founding. She also shares how tools like civic assemblies and participatory budgeting can restore civic life, and why joy has to remain at the center of any vision for real change.

              • Listening To Earth Wisdom With Leah Penniman, Soul Fire Farm

                The Queen Mothers of Ghana asked Leah Penniman whether it was true that American farmers plant seeds without prayer, song, or gratitude — then said: 'That's why you're all sick. You treat the earth as a commodity, not as a living relative.' That one sentence is the heart of this episode. Leah Penniman — Black Kreyol farmer, co-founder of Soul Fire Farm, and author of Farming While Black and the new anthology Black Earth Wisdom — joins Care More Be Better to explore George Washington Carver as the forgotten godfather of regenerative agriculture, the shared root of human supremacy and White supremacy, the term food apartheid and why it matters more than food desert, the returning of 258 acres to the Mohican Nation, Dijor Carter's grandmother's spirit rising through his feet in the mud at Soul Fire Farm, and the sit spot practice anyone can start today.

              • The Secret Language of Your Body: Energy Medicine, Ancestral Trauma, Healing from Within, Inna Segal

                At twenty, Inna Segal was told by her chiropractor that there was nothing he could do to help her — and went home to discover that her chronic back pain, psoriasis, and digestive issues were rooted in ancestral trauma her body had been holding for decades. The author of The Secret Language of Your Body, sold over a million copies in 27 languages, joins Care More Be Better for one of the show's most personal conversations. Host Corinna Bellizzi shares her own experience warding off a migraine through breath and intention on graduation morning, her childhood ability to detect cancer by smell, and the moment she knew her sister's cat's name before anyone told her. Together they explore energy medicine, the body as an archive of experience, the science of emotional storage in physical form, and why the listening that heals the body may be the same listening that heals the planet.

                The planet’s temperature continues to warm up every year, and one of the biggest contributors to this is gas-powered vehicles. Timothy Seward, a lifelong tinkerer and moped enthusiast, wants to change this worrisome situation through his groundbreaking electric motorbike at ONYX Motors. He joins Corinna Bellizzi to share how he combines cyberpunk aesthetics with high-performance utility to create environmentally friendly vehicles that could last for many years. He also talks about the role of a breakout Indiegogo campaign and highly personal community building to develop an engaging riding experience while prioritizing cost-efficiency and sustainability.

              • Deep Into the Vine: The Medicine Hunter on Ayahuasca, Shamans, and the Cosmic Experience | Chris Kilham

                Chris Kilham — the Medicine Hunter, author of fifteen books, and a man the New York Times once called "part David Attenborough, part Indiana Jones" — returns to Care More Be Better for a third time to go deep into the vine. With 65 shamans and twelve years of ceremony across the Amazon behind him, Chris and host Corinna Bellizzi explore the line between authentic plant medicine and cultural appropriation, the shared visions that gave ayahuasca its old name Telepathine, the three enduring camps of psychedelic culture, and where to actually find a trustworthy ceremony.
