In this episode, Page Faye welcomes her friend and mentor, Lauren Tucker, who has spent her career working in regeneration, farming, and natural systems thinking. Lauren co-founded and served as the executive director of Kiss the Ground before embarking on several of her own projects, including reNourish Studios. In this discussion, they explore various topics related to regeneration, sustainable agriculture, and shifting worldviews. Lauren shares her journey from the initial desire to "save starving kids in Africa" to a more profound understanding of living systems and the need to move away from the hero's journey mentality. They discuss the importance of reimagining landscapes, cultural contexts, and the role of economic systems in the regeneration process. Lauren emphasizes the importance of seeing things differently and embracing a living systems worldview, where learning occurs through experience and imagination rather than fixed answers. They also delve into the idea of hope and the need to empower individuals to interact with and shift the systems they are part of, reframing narratives around climate change and environmental action.

A little note if you are watching the video version of this podcast..this was filmed in a family home, without a production team and therefore no one monitoring the lighting. Hence it gets a little dark at the end of the video. Lauren and I were just so enthralled in the conversation I didn't want to get on and turn the lights up. We are human and turns out you can get alot done in the dark ;)
