    How Penguins Helped Heal and See Life Through a Wider Lens – Ursula Franklin S5 E15 (90)

    Ursula Franklin shares a deeply personal story of how penguins helped her navigate grief and unexpectedly shaped the way she saw life. She set herself a mission to see every species of penguin in their natural environment – then ‘Mission Penguin’ grew into something beyond her wildest dreams – gifting back peace of mind, courage to move forward and see the joy of her own journey help others. A moving reminder that when we stay true to what we need, and follow what matters to us, we can change the landscape of our world inside and out.   Ursula’s Website:   f4inspirationalimages.co.uk.  Ursula’s Favourite Book: Leadership from the Inside Out’ - Kevin Cashman https://www.penguin.co.nz/books/leadership-from-the-inside-out-9781523094356 Ursula’s Favourite Quotes: “ Leaders either shed light or cast a shadow on everything they do." – Kevin Cashman “It's a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little bit colder." - Hey Jude lyrics “ Above all .. to thine own self be true."  - Shakespeare   PIP's Pu™ penguin inspired oracle deck – buy on Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pips-pu/pips-putm-oracle-deck-and-guidebook   My Website: https://philippaross.com/ Email me: info@philippaross.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/enthusiologist/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippa-ross-a7775513/ Waste Not Want Not Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100075991457588   ©2026 Philippa Ross.

    The 20,000 Penguin Rescue and the Power We Have to Make a Difference – Dyan deNapoli – S5 E14 (89)

    Dyan deNapoli — aka The Penguin Lady — shares the heart-wrenching story of her involvement in the world’s largest and most successful animal rescue, where 25,000 volunteers tended to 20,000 traumatised penguins affected by an oil spill. The outcome was miraculous on so many levels, leaving lifelong memories and faith in humanity — who demonstrate.' d resilience, community, courage, possibility and the extraordinary things we can achieve when we come together. When a feat feels foreboding — remember anything is feasible when you focus your faith on a favourable future.   Dyan’s website: https://thepenguinlady.com Email: dyan@thepenguinlady.com Dyan’s Books: The Great Penguin Rescue All About Penguins: Discover Life on Land and in the Sea   Dyan's favourite book: '21 Yaks and a Speedo' by Lewis Pugh Dyan’s favourite quotes: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” – Ghandi “ Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.” Marianne Williamson “The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it."

    The Symphony of Life: Mission for Ecological Wellbeing – Dr Sylvia Earle S5 E13 (88)

    In this rich and far-reaching conversation, legendary Oceanographer and marine biologist Dr Sylvia Earle explores why the ocean is Earth’s life-support system, and what is at stake as we warm and acidify our seas and strip them of life through industrial extraction, destructive fishing and deep-sea mining. Sylvia emphasises that one of nature’s greatest lessons is that there is no such thing as waste – something we desperately need to wake up to, alongside recognition of the scale of destruction we have inflicted on our living planet. Partly through ignorance and partly through arrogance, we have dismissed the integral role of every living plant, animal and organism, every mineral and every element of the natural world. We have failed to recognise the interconnected web of life, held and sustained by the great blue heart of our planet: the ocean. Sylvia is full of hope for the future – speaking about the resilience of nature, the power of the human mind and spirit, and the vital role of curiosity, evidence-based learning and action to create the change we want to see in the world.   Mission Blue website:  https://missionblue.org/ Founders Day: https://missionblue.org/2026/08/mission-blue-launches-founders-day-on-august-30/   Facebook: Mission Blue:  https://www.facebook.com/missionblue Sylvia Earle:  https://www.facebook.com/sylvia.a.earle   LinkedIn: Mission Blue:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/missionblue/home/ Sylvia Earle:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/sylvia-earle-6931946/   Instagram:  Mission Blue:  https://www.instagram.com/mission_blue/ Dr Sylvia Earle:  https://www.instagram.com/dr.sylviaearle/   Sylvia’s 2009 Ted talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/sylvia_a_earle_we_re_keeping_the_ocean_wild_and_you_can_join_us     Email me on info@philippaross.com if you have a subject or guest you’d like me to consider for future episodes My Website:  https://philippaross.com/ PIP”s PU Oracle Cards:  https://philippaross.com/pipspuoraclecards-2/ Pledge to buy my penguin inspired oracle deck - PIP's Pu™ on Kickstarter.

    Penguins, Passion & Prose - Hazel Prior - S5 E12 (87)

    A long-awaited conversation with novelist Hazel Prior, author of my favouritest book of all time, Away with the Penguins. As fellow sphenisciphiles (penguin lovers!), we enthuse about the cheerful, resilient, curious and feisty characteristics of penguins — and the profound impact they can have on us. These qualities are woven through Hazel’s trilogy of novels centred around penguins, bringing wildlife and human stories together in unexpected and deeply moving ways. A must-listen for writers and creatives, Hazel takes us behind the scenes of the long journey from research and logistics to letting go, feeling into her characters and allowing them to come alive — quite literally zing off the page and into your heart. We explore how weaving the richness of human experience with the wildness of wildlife can bring out the best in both — beautifully mirroring the purpose behind PIP’s Pu™, my own penguin-inspired oracle deck: helping us reconnect with our natural rhythm, rediscover ourselves and find our way to True North. Hazel’s details: Website:  https://www.hazelprior.co.uk/home Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/hazelpriorbooks/ Favourite book: The Chronicles of Narnia  Favourite quote: “Do all the good you can, and make as little fuss about it as possible." Charles Dickens Books Hazel has authored so far: Away with the Penguins Call of the Penguins Gone with the Penguins Ellie & The Harpmaker Life and Otter Miracles New book being released in May 2027 – Title to be revealed!

    Biological Sovereignty – Developing a Lifestyle that serves your needs – Tommy Diependaal – S5 E11 (86)

    What if the greatest act of self-care wasn't buying another gadget or following the latest health trend, but learning to trust your own biology? In this month's Waste Not Want Not, Tommy Diependaal explores what it means to reclaim your biological sovereignty by making conscious lifestyle choices that work with your body rather than against it. From the food you eat and the labels you wear, to strength training, gut health, sleep, stress, sunlight, breathwork, circadian rhythms and EMF exposure, this conversation challenges the idea that there's a one-size-fits-all formula for wellbeing. Tommy invites us to become more present, more aware and more discerning—tuning into the signals our bodies have been sending us all along. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, this episode offers a refreshing reminder that your greatest health technology has been with you from the beginning. Because true wellbeing is about creating a lifestyle that genuinely serves you.
