I believe that humans are ultimately wanting the best for each other. And up until the last couple of decades, we haven’t known the truth of what is really going on in Nature, and because of that, we have ultimately set the course of humanity towards its doom. However a secret recently has been discovered, a secret that is so intelligent that if we get out of our way, it can help us heal our human health AND the planet’s health.

In this episode I take you on a journey into the micro world of soil where something magic is happening, something we really don’t have to do too much with, in fact, we just need to get out of our own way! If we become the nurturers of this innate intelligence then humanity’s pathway will be set to heal both our health and our planets.

So strap in, sit back and enjoy this micro-world journey I take you on in this week’s Thriving with Nature’s Podcast. - The hidden secret of our survival!

In this episode I want to share with you one of the most exciting books I have read in regards to Thriving with Nature. I can safely say that the idea of Thriving with Nature was born from reading these books.

Anastasia, the first of the books in the Ringing Cedar Series by Vladimir Megre, talks about the importance of our connection to Nature and the fact that Nature can read and help heal us. 

I read one of the most profound excerpts of this book and share some science I have recently learnt that correlates with the story that helps solidify in my mind the excitement of what is truly possible. And what is this story and this particular excerpt about? Well the idea that seeds, and ultimately plants can read our ailments and build a “live supplement” to help give you the vital nutrients that your body needs to heal. 

This hypothesis is bold and exciting, and I can’t wait to share more and more on this as we go on this journey to thrive with nature! Now hit play and enjoy the show!

You can’t be alive today and not know that plastic, especially single-use plastic, is a huge problem on the planet. Only 9% is recycled and the rest - well we are discovering, a lot of it ends up in the ocean. Today I have the privilege of interviewing Emily Penn, a skipper and ocean advocate who has traveled to the most remote parts of the ocean to witness the microplastics and the damage it’s doing. She also discusses the effects of plastic on human health and her own shock discovery after a test.

Through our discussion, we come to the conclusion that it truly is a desirable situation and all single-use plastic must cease to exist immediately. The positive side of this is there is so much we can all do to help flip this around and to come back to Thrive with Nature. Please join me and enjoy our conversation across the ocean from Bali to the UK.

Chef Cynthia lived in Papua New Guinea growing up. She cooked in the back of her father’s shed with the locals - climbing trees for Mangos, digging up plants from the soil - she learned how to thrive with nature! Fast forward through to her 20s where she plunged into the Western World and had a shock of dealing with “canned” food and plastic packaging and artificialness. 

With her raw roots deep inside her soul whispering to her, she helped heal herself through connecting with Nature’s fruits and vegetables. She connected and listened to what her body was saying and healed herself. Now she teaches people to connect back to Nature and make the meals we ‘oh so’ love with simplicity and ease and a lot of fun. 

In this Episode, Cynthia joins me in sharing our passion for the importance of SOIL in choosing our whole foods. Understanding that the life in the soil is what gives us the nutrition our bodies are ‘oh so’ craving! Come join us and listen in on this interesting journey we take...

Start to question how can I make a difference in this planet? How can I live a modern lifestyle whilst helping nature thrive. The idea here is to tackle one area at a time and do what you can to move towards no longer using Fossil Fuels and moving towards 100% renewable energy sources. Eat more whole food plant based from regenerative farms. Compost and recycle what you can and stop accepting single-use plastics. Use public transport or switch your vehicle to an electric car/bike. 

In this episode, Hayley discusses different areas of life that you can change to move towards living a more of a regenerative lifestyle. Some of the areas that will be discussed are:

• Food
• Waste
• Energy
• Transport

We are in a climate emergency and every thing you do to move towards a regenerative lifestyle is one step closer to us continuing to thrive with nature, rather than us dying out and nature thriving without us.

What is the difference between Regenerative and Sustainability? In this episode, Hayley shares her why she chooses to aim for a regenerative lifestyle rather than sustainable. She discusses the topic of regenerative agriculture and also introduces Syntropic Agroforestry.

These topics are discussed in regard to how if we move our agricultural methods more in those directions we could help reverse climate change and even improve our health.

What is the most simplest way to remind yourself to help the planet? Ask yourself "Will this make me/planet THRIVE or DIE?"

In this episode, Hayley Weatherburn introduces the concept of Thrive or Die. A simple way to look at moving yourself to live a more regenerative lifestyle. Whether you are putting food in your mouth, buying clothes, using some sort of transport, we can all make more positive decisions to help us and the planet thrive. And often what helps us thrive also helps the planet thrive. After all, we are nature! So let's align with nature.

When you move away from the line of the natural succession of nature, you start to die. Eating processed foods; throwing plastics and chemicals out as waste; buying clothes that damage the environment; using anything that contains fossil fuels; the list goes on. The more we use those - we move away towards death.

When you align with nature you thrive as it does. Eating organic fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices from farms or gardens free from pesticides, and ideally grown through regenerative agriculture; bringing your own cutlery or containers; using natural products that are chemical-free; buying sustainable fashion; utilise renewable energy and more.

The Thriving with Nature Podcast is going to go on this journey to help you live a regenerative lifestyle and become a beacon of change over the next 10 years. Together we can turn this planet around to become a thriving one again, along with our health and communities coming closer together.
