    Growing a Better World: Food Forests, Permaculture & Community Resilience with Ben of Earthling Plants

    What if the future of human health, stronger communities and a healthier planet starts in the soil beneath our feet? In this episode, I’m joined by Ben, founder and CEO of Earthling Plants, an Irish regenerative plant nursery specialising in edible, medicinal and unusual plants. Ben shares how his journey began with a desire to take greater control of his own health and eventually led him from professional kitchens into growing food, building a food forest and creating a rapidly growing regenerative business. We explore permaculture, food forests, soil health, local food systems and community resilience, but the conversation quickly moves beyond gardening. Ben explains why he sees permaculture as a philosophy for life — one built around observation, cooperation, biodiversity, fair share and working with natural systems rather than constantly fighting against them. We also talk about medicinal plants, the surprising intelligence of ecosystems, slowing down in a culture obsessed with productivity, supporting local producers, and the possibility of combining modern innovation with knowledge inherited from generations before us. At the heart of this conversation is a simple idea: changing the world does not necessarily begin with changing everything. It can begin with changing the small world immediately around you. A conversation about soil, health, purpose, community and what our future could look like if we learned to work with nature again.

    Coming Home to Nature: Ecosomatics, Grief and the Wisdom of the Body with Dr. Brittany Jane

    What if our disconnection from ourselves is inseparable from our disconnection from the natural world? In this transformative conversation, Bella speaks with somatic ecologist Dr. Brittany Jane about ecosomatics—the meeting point between deep ecology, embodied awareness and our innate relationship with the living Earth. Dr. Brittany explores how the human body evolved within nature, community and ecological kinship, and why modern life can leave us feeling numb, isolated and disconnected from our sense of belonging. She explains how simple practices involving movement, wide-angle vision, natural light, darkness, stillness and time on the land can help regulate the nervous system and awaken forms of connection that many people have not felt since childhood. Together, they discuss: • Why connecting with nature may also contribute to the vitality of the land• Dance, song and ceremony as forms of ecological custodianship• The mental-health consequences of losing community and connection to place• How modern environments encourage numbness and disembodiment• Why natural light profoundly influences the body and mind• The difference between thinking an emotion and genuinely feeling it• Grief as a gateway to connection, creativity and transformation• Why people fear slowing down and listening to the body• How nature can restore a sense of safety, purpose and belonging This conversation genuinely changed the way Bella thinks about the body, grief, consciousness and humanity’s place within the natural world. It is an invitation to soften, become more sensitive and remember that nature is not somewhere we visit—it is something we belong to.

    Why We Struggle to Be Ourselves (And How to Break Free) | Megan, The Felt Space

    Why do we overthink everything we say? Why do we hold ourselves back from expressing ourselves, making new friends, dancing, speaking up, or simply being who we are?
