Be a Ninja for coffee justice with NGO Coffee Watch founder Etelle Higonnet

Tuesday, October 28, 2025 • Duration 38:45

Send us a text

How can we use our beautiful power collectively to stop deforestation, heal the planet, and support farmers, with every cup of coffee... Make the world better with every sip!

If you’re interested in making more ecological coffee choices, listen to my guest this week Etelle Higonnet, attorney, environmental activist, and knighted as a Chevalier de l'ordre national du Mérite for her pioneering efforts to curb deforestation in high-risk commodities such as cocoa, rubber, palm oil, cattle, and soy industries.

She is the founder of Coffee Watch, a nonprofit watchdog organization fighting to reform the global coffee industry and its dark secret of slavery, child labor, deforestation, and pesticide-soaked monoculture. Their unyielding resolve is to make the world a better place with each cup of coffee.

Etelle's powerful work is bringing change to the destructive impact of the coffee industry on the planet and to people’s lives. She shows that every one of us can vote with each cup of coffee that we choose to drink. Together we can bring the end to slavery, deforestation, child-labor and pesticide-soaked monoculture.

She shares how we can all be guardians of our world and that by making good choices, we can have a huge positive impact for people and the planet.

Supporting an alternative food system with Reaping What She Sows author Nancy Matsumoto

Monday, October 20, 2025 • Duration 32:35

Send us a text

How can we change our eating habits in ways that improve our health, the health of the planet, and promote equity in the food system?

If you’re interested in supporting a healthier food system listen to my guest this week Nancy Matsumoto, an award-winning freelance writer and editor who specializes in the areas of regenerative agriculture, food, sake, arts and culture.

Her latest book Reaping What She Sows offers a blueprint for what eating enjoyably, regeneratively, and ethically looks like today. Essential for those who are concerned about climate change, their own health, and the lack of choice and transparency in the global food supply chain.

Nancy introduces readers to the women changemakers who are building local and regional supply chains, from the maverick farmers, millers, and bakers bringing back local grain economies; the brewers, distillers, and winemakers who are regenerating land and ecosystems; indigenous and diasporic seed savers, and many more changemakers.

Nancy shares about these incredible women who are rebuilding our broken food system, working tirelessly to bring us an alternative to Big Agriculture, for good wholesome, sustainably produced food that’s better for us and for the planet.

She shows us how what we choose to put on our plate impacts our bodies, the land and the world around us.

Better Hydration without All That Guzzling: Can You Can Solve Your Health and Our Planet’s Problems with Water Secrets?

She’s the co-author with Dr. Dana Cohen, MD of QUENCH: Your five day plan to Optimal Hydration, recommended by the New York Times, Oprah’s O Magazine, and NPR Cool Science.

Coping with Dementia with top neuroscientist & author of Still Me, Dr Sabina Brennan

Monday, September 29, 2025 • Duration 40:48

Send us a text

How can we prevent dementia and if we or someone we love does get it what can we do about it?

If you want to know how to prevent dementia or what to do if you or a loved one does get it, listen to my guest this week Dr Sabina Brennan, top neuroscientist and bestselling author of Still Me in which she combines her professional knowledge with her personal experience of caring for her mother with dementia.

Dementia is devastating. Almost a million people are currently living with the disease in the UK alone and this is set to triple by 2050. With family members often providing care, navigating treatment can be overwhelming.

But there is life after diagnosis. With a human-rights approach that validates everyone's experience and dignity, she reframes the job of caring for someone with dementia as a partnership. Both you and your loved one deserve respect, support and the latest research to help you on your journey.

Sabina shares how to encourage a brain healthy lifestyle, what we can do to cope and optimise the caregiving experience, and how we can improve quality of life for ourselves and our loved ones suffering with dementia.

Her book Still Me reminds us to shift the focus from the disease to the person, and that our relative, despite the disease, is still there, and that we, as a care partner, are just as important.

Sabina shows us that while Dementia can steal many things, it doesn't have to take away the simple pleasures of life.

You can find out more about Sabina at https://sabinabrennan.ie/ , listen to her podcast Superbrain, buy her book Still Me at all good book stores.

Why do we define strength based on what only men's bodies do? Why aren't the strengths of the female body considered "strong"?

If you’re interested in how to make the most from our bodies in relation to the world around us, listen to my guest Starre Vartan, science journalist, environmental writer, sustainable living expert, essayist and author of The Stronger Sex, a science-backed, myth-busting love letter to the female body- with its endurance, immunity, and the kind of strength that doesn’t flex, it lasts.

Starre shares about her beautiful book and it’s a myth-busting, science-rooted celebration of the female body and its endurance, longevity, adaptability, and immune brilliance.

She shows us that as women we’re not “too sensitive,” “too complicated,” or “the weaker sex” But in fact we have the power, strength & resilience to hold, move through, and transform the world around us.
