    Remaking Our Worldviews for Climate Justice with Osprey Orielle Lake

    The climate crisis is not only a technological or policy challenge — it is also a crisis of worldview. In this powerful conversation, Corinna Bellizzi speaks with Osprey Orielle Lake, founder and executive director of the Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN), about how climate justice movements around the world are working to transform our relationship with nature, power, and community. Osprey’s work bridges grassroots activism, Indigenous leadership, international climate negotiations, and legal innovations like the Rights of Nature movement. Drawing from her book The Story Is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis, she explores how systems like colonization, extractive economics, and patriarchy have shaped today’s ecological crises — and how new stories rooted in reciprocity, justice, and stewardship can guide the path forward. This conversation explores the role of Indigenous knowledge in climate solutions, the fight against fossil fuel expansion, the growing global push for legal protections for ecosystems, and the importance of community-led restoration efforts around the world. Originally recorded in 2024, this episode remains deeply relevant today as movements for climate justice, land stewardship, and ecological restoration continue to gain momentum globally. Key Topics in This Episode Why the climate crisis is fundamentally a crisis of worldview The role of Indigenous knowledge and leadership in climate solutions The Rights of Nature movement and legal frameworks that protect ecosystems The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty initiative Climate justice and the risks faced by frontline land defenders Reforestation projects led by women restoring ecosystems and communities Why global transformation requires both systemic change and cultural shifts About Osprey Orielle Lake Osprey Orielle Lake is the Founder and Executive Director of the Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN), an international organization that works with grassroots, Indigenous, and frontline communities to advance climate justice and a just transition to renewable energy. She serves on the Executive Committee for the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature and the Steering Committee for the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative. Osprey is the author of The Story Is in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis and the award-winning book Uprisings for the Earth: Reconnecting Culture with Nature.

    The Way of Coffee: Health, Culture and Ethical Trade with Chris Kilham, Medicine Hunter and Author

    Coffee is the richest source of dietary antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents in the American diet. But behind every cup of coffee is a global story that spans centuries of cultural transformation, health science, and a tangled web of trade ethics. Corinna Bellizzi delves into this topic with Chris Kilhan, medicine hunter and author of The Way of Coffee. Together, they unpack the role of coffee in social transformation, particularly with critical tensions in the coffee trade and the nonstop price increase due to the “coffee shop culture.” Chris also presents potential solutions to solve the biggest problems of the global botanical trade to radically improve consumer prices and provide better opportunities to small farmers, the heroes behind our most delicious cups of coffee. About Guest: Chris Kilham is a medicine hunter, author, educator and yogi.

  6. Relational Leadership and Regenerative Futures with Nina Simons, co-founder of Bioneers

    Relational Leadership and Regenerative Futures with Nina Simons, co-founder of Bioneers

    As human beings, we are built for relationship. Yet many of the leadership models we inherit are hierarchical, extractive, and rooted in struggle. In this conversation, Nina and I explore: What relational leadership really means Why empathy, vulnerability, and collaboration are strengths — not weaknesses How climate justice, racial equity, gender equity, and economic reform are deeply interconnected Why “solving for pattern” (in the spirit of Wendell Berry) leads to cascading regenerative benefits The importance of integrating restorative, regenerative rhythms into our leadership and lives Nina also reflects on redefining sacrifice, embracing conflict as a doorway to deeper relationship, and leading from wholeness rather than burnout. Why This Matters Now We are living through overlapping crises — climate instability, political gridlock, reproductive rights rollbacks, and widening inequity. Nina reminds us that these are not separate issues, but interconnected systems. We will not achieve climate justice without racial and gender equity. We will not build regenerative economies without collaborative leadership. And we cannot solve systemic problems while remaining disconnected from one another — or from the Earth. Relational leadership invites us to lead not from dominance, but from interdependence. About Nina Simons Nina Simons is Co-founder and Chief Relationship Officer at Bioneers and leads its Everywoman’s Leadership program. Throughout her career across nonprofit, social entrepreneurship, corporate, and philanthropic sectors, Nina has worked with nearly a thousand diverse women leaders to cultivate mutual learning, trust, and transformative leadership. She is the author of Nature, Culture, and the Sacred: A Woman Listens for Leadership and co-editor of Moonrise: The Power of Women Leading from the Heart.

    The Right to Roam: Wildlife Corridors, Public Lands and Ecological Regeneration with Hillary Rosner

    Human progress may be beneficial to human society, but it is usually achieved at the cost of the lives of other species. Corinna Bellizzi explores how we interrupt the movement and migration of wild animals with Hillary Rosner, a science journalist, editor, and author. Together, they discuss how human-made fences and borders, the privatization of land, and the displacement of indigenous stewardship hinder countless animals from moving freely from one place to another, leading to their dwindling population. Hillary also explains what it takes to create large-scale solutions to solve this ecological problem, and why it all starts with shifting our consciousness to see the world from an animal’s perspective. Blog Page for this episode: https://caremorebebetter.com/the-right-to-roam-wildlife-corridors-public-lands-ecological-regeneration-with-hillary-rosner/ About Guest: Hillary Rosner is a science journalist, editor, and author whose stories about the conservation, biodiversity, and other environmental topics have appeared in National Geographic, The New York Times, Wired, The Atlantic, High Country News, Audubon, bioGraphic, and dozens of other publications.
