Going Conscious

Lisette is a young 70-year-old who pours her engagement and experience into writing books (The Eldest Daughter Effect, Childless Living), boards (Pymwymic) and life-enhancing start-ups (Sumthing, CrowdBuilding, Impact Shakers). She is intrigued by money and how those of us who have extra can make it serve a positive evolution for all.

In this episode we talk about how the vast majority of money is enslaved to make more of itself, the steering power of money to life affirming purposes, why Lisette had to sell her company and get new friends, and how money wants to do the best it can in the world, just like we do.

In this special episode, we bring you a guided breathing meditation to help you connect deeply with yourself, the Earth and the unique contribution you are here to create. Ground yourself in the steady energy of the Earth, align with your contribution and feel the flow of connection between yourself and the web of life.

This 13 minute meditation was inspired by a breathing meditation I recently wrote to help a cousin who was in a coma and has thankfully now recovered. The meditation invites you to embrace your role as a creator and nurturer, offering your gifts to humanity and the planet. You will reconnect with yourself and the planet, dissolve fears and cultivate alignment and flow.

Listen to this meditation as often as you like to stay grounded, connected and inspired as you create and thrive in harmony with the world around you.

This meditation is set to music using Alpha waves to help you enter a deeper meditative state, bringing you calm, mind-body integration and learning.

George spent the first half of his professional career working in the entertainment industry, including as a TV presenter. Following a revelatory breakthrough in 2012, he has been figuring out how best to use his position and influence to make a positive, meaningful and lasting impact on society. In 2018 he founded GROW - a life skills and education programme that works in schools and communities to promote mental wellbeing, physical health and a more hands-on relationship with nature. In 2019 he helped establish regenerative agriculture and food company Wildfarmed, alongside Edd Lees and Andy Cato.

In this episode we talk about how to trust your intuition as your superpower, why the biggest gift George was given was unconditional love, the moment George realised he was complicit in selling distraction, how Ibiza seemed to change his life (!), why some farmers only have 20-30 harvests left, how to sense the minuscule expression from your solar plexus, and how regenerative agriculture is transforming our food systems.

Jessica has a background in environmental law and has been involved in the international movement for Rights of Nature since 2017. In the Netherlands, she advocates for the recognition of the Rights of Nature. In her acclaimed book she tells the stories behind global examples and in 2024, her foundation for the Rights of Nature was launched, further supporting and broadening the national Dutch citizen movement for Rights of Nature. She has won several awards for her commitment and in 2019, Jessica was appointed by the United Nations as one of the youngest experts in this field.

In this episode we discuss the relatively new field of legal rights for nature, how Jessica put her love for nature and environmental law together, the U.N. harmony with nature program, why we need to shift to an eco-centric approach, and we discuss holes in our language around nature which does not express our world-views.

Jessica recommends The Bees, a novel, which I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend too!
