    When Art is Action: Lisa Kristine on Creating Empathy Through Photography To End Modern Slavery

    In this powerful and deeply moving episode of Regenerative Mindset, host Stacy Pulice is joined by globally renowned humanitarian photographer Lisa Kristine, whose work has helped awaken the world to the realities of modern-day slavery, human trafficking, and the dignity of the human spirit. Lisa shares how photography first inspired her as a child, and how, through decades of traveling to some of the most remote corners of the earth, it ultimately became her greatest teacher. From indigenous communities to illegal gold mines, fishing villages on Lake Volta, and hidden labor systems embedded within global supply chains, Lisa bears witness to lives often rendered invisible. Through her lens, she reveals not only exploitation and injustice, but profound resilience, beauty, and humanity. Together, Stacy and Lisa explore how slavery hides in plain sight, why “seeing is believing,” and how empathy, rather than blame, can become a catalyst for meaningful change. Lisa speaks candidly about the emotional toll of documenting extreme suffering, the importance of balance and regeneration in sustaining this work, and why asking people to look closer can be more powerful than accusation. The conversation explores systemic issues such as capitalism, supply chains, agriculture, technology, policy, and global responsibility. It also highlights tangible examples of progress, including Lisa’s work with the United Nations, the Vatican, the World Economic Forum, and her partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to expose forced labor and advance accountability. At the heart of this episode is a simple but radical truth: regeneration begins when we dare to truly see one another. Healing begins with a heart connection. And change becomes possible when we choose decency, curiosity, and care. This episode is an invitation to bear witness, stay awake to reality, and to remember that behind every data point is a human being.

    Mediation as a tool: Creating a regenerative oasis includes taking out the trash

    In this New Year special episode of Regenerative Mindset, Stacy steps out of the interview format and into a candid conversation with her good friend and community leader Rand Rosenberg. Together, they reflect on how to stay present and grounded during a time marked by uncertainty, information overload, and emotional intensity. The conversation explores how inner practices, particularly meditation and mindful attention, can support nervous system regulation and help reduce reactivity in moments of fear or urgency. Stacy shares how slowing down can be an intentional and active choice, one that allows for more thoughtful engagement with the world rather than impulsive responses driven by overwhelm. They also discuss the impact of constant exposure to news and social media, and the importance of setting boundaries around what we consume. Rather than advocating disengagement, this episode encourages discernment and care, offering listeners permission to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what feels meaningful. This episode is not about solutions or prescriptions. It’s an invitation to meet the present moment with stillness, to care for our inner lives as we navigate external challenges, and to remember that regeneration often begins within.

    Facing Mortality Together: Sierra Campbell on Dying Well and Communal Support

    In this episode of Regenerative Mindset, Stacy is joined by death doula, elder-care educator, and Choose Nurture founder Sierra Campbell for a grounded and deeply human conversation about mortality and what it means to prepare well for life’s final chapters. With more than three decades of experience in community-based compassionate care, Sierra has spent her life tending to elders, supporting families, and guiding people through illness, aging, and death with presence and dignity. Her path into death work was shaped early through caring for elders alongside her grandmother and through her own experiences with serious illness, which led her to see death not as something to fear or avoid, but as a natural, relational part of living. Together, Stacy and Sierra explore how facing mortality with honesty and care can cultivate a regenerative mindset rooted in intergenerational connection. Sierra shares why tending to elders, supporting caregivers, and restoring communal care are essential to healing our culture’s relationship with aging and life’s natural end. They discuss how presence, preparation, and shared responsibility at the end of life can regenerate not only families and communities, but also how we live, love, and belong. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and remember that how we care for one another at life’s most tender thresholds shapes the world we are creating together.

    Healing Through Dialogue: Ilwad Elman on Rebuilding Trust and Peace from the Ground Up

    It is an honor and a delight to welcome Ilwad Elman, Chief Operating Officer of the Elman Peace and Human Rights Centre in Somalia, to this episode of Regenerative Mindset. A globally recognized peacebuilder, humanitarian, and social entrepreneur, Ilwad’s work is transforming how we think about security, justice, and regeneration in the modern world. Born into a legacy of peace work, her father famously coined the phrase “Drop the gun, pick up the pen,” creating programs that redirected former soldiers into positive livelihoods. Ilwad carries that vision forward in powerful new ways. As one of Somalia’s leading voices for human rights and social transformation, she is helping redefine what it means to heal after conflict. Today, she oversees initiatives that reintegrate former child soldiers, support survivors of violence, and pioneer climate-smart livelihoods that restore both ecosystems and community trust. With over 70 percent of Somalia’s population under 30 and more than 60 percent being women, Ilwad is deeply committed to ensuring those most affected by conflict are also those shaping the future. Her programs give young people and women the tools, skills, and confidence to rebuild their lives—and, in doing so, their country. In our conversation, Ilwad shares how land restoration becomes a form of therapy, where ex-combatants and farmers work side by side, healing the soil and themselves. We talk about how dialogue can “compost pain into wisdom,” why silence is not neutrality, and how restoring dignity is essential to rebuilding peace. She also reflects on the interconnection between people and planet, how protecting nature is inseparable from protecting human life. Recognized with honors such as the Right Livelihood Award, the Hessian Peace Prize, and three Nobel Peace Prize nominations, Ilwad embodies a regenerative approach to leadership, one rooted in empathy, resilience, and trust in the power of local communities. Join me for this inspiring and deeply honest conversation with Ilwad Elman, a leader showing that peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of connection between people, generations, and the earth itself. You can stay up to date with Ilwad on her website, elmanpeace.org, through Instagram @ilwadelman, X (Twitter) @IlwadElman, YouTube Elman Peace Centre, and on Facebook at Elman Peace Centre.

    Leading with Service: Josh Fryday on Belonging, Hope, and a Regenerative Politics

    It is my great pleasure to welcome Josh Fryday, California’s Chief Service Officer, to this episode of Regenerative Mindset. A former Naval Officer, Mayor, and lifelong advocate for civic engagement, Josh has dedicated his career to proving that government can be a force for unity, healing, and regeneration. Under his leadership, California has created the largest service corps in the nation, now larger than the Peace Corps, providing over 10,000 paid opportunities for Californians to serve their communities, combat climate change, address food insecurity, and prepare for disasters. His first-in-the-nation programs, featured in The New York Times and Wired Magazine, are being replicated across the country as models for how service can bridge divides and restore a sense of shared purpose. A graduate of Berkeley Law and a commissioned Naval Officer, Josh served our country in Japan and Guantanamo Bay, taking part in one of the largest humanitarian aid and disaster relief efforts in history. Those experiences profoundly shaped his conviction that service is a means of healing ourselves, our communities, and the planet. And now, Josh is taking his commitment to service into a new realm: he has announced his candidacy for Lieutenant Governor of California in the 2026 election, bringing the same values and energy for collective purpose to the statewide stage. In this conversation, Josh and Stacy explore what it means to lead with a regenerative mindset in politics, how acts of service foster belonging and connection, and why restoring faith in one another may be the most powerful form of climate and cultural repair we have. From stories of wildfire relief to reflections on loneliness, leadership, and love of community, Josh reminds us that hope is not something we wait for; it’s something we create together, through action and compassion. Join me for this inspiring and deeply grounding conversation with Josh Fryday, a leader who embodies what it means to serve with heart, humility, and vision for a more connected future.

    Awakening the Authentic Self: Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche on Dream Consciousness, Healing, and the Bön Path

    It is my deep honor to welcome Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, one of the few living masters of the Tibetan Bön Dzogchen tradition and founder of Ligmincha International, to this episode of Regenerative Mindset. Born to Tibetan refugee parents and entering monastic life at the age of 10, Rinpoche earned his Geshe degree, the equivalent of a Ph.D., after 11 years of rigorous study. For more than three decades, he has bridged the ancient teachings of Bön with the modern world, offering accessible practices that awaken awareness, deepen compassion, and heal the body-mind connection. His work now reaches students in over 23 countries and 17 languages. Speaking from Kathmandu, Nepal, Rinpoche reflects on the recent passing of his beloved teacher of more than 50 years, sharing profound insights about impermanence, identity, and the path of awakening. Together we explore how our attachments to roles and stories shape our suffering, and how presence, breath, and stillness can return us to the boundless awareness that is our true nature. Rinpoche also illuminates the regenerative wisdom within Bön teachings on sleep, dreams, and longevity, offering practices that modern science is only beginning to affirm. From lucid dreaming to simple acts of mindfulness, his guidance reveals how deep rest and inner awareness can heal us at every level. Join me for this luminous and heart-opening conversation with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, a teacher whose clarity, humor, and humility remind us that awakening begins not in struggle, but in gentle awareness. You can learn more about Rinpoche’s work on his websites: www.ligmincha.org, www.the3doors.org, and www.cybersangha.net or on his Instagram @wangyalrinpoche.

    In this luminous episode of Regenerative Mindset, I welcome my dear friend and creative collaborator of more than thirty years, Dr. Jennifer Freed, a renowned psychological astrologer, bestselling author, and visionary thought leader in emotional and relational intelligence. Jennifer has spent four decades weaving clinical insight with celestial wisdom, guiding people toward greater purpose, freedom, and love. As the founder of the social-emotional learning program AHA!, she’s helped thousands of young people cultivate empathy and resilience, while her writings, most recently Beyond Aquarius, invite readers to explore the intersection of psychology, creativity, and the soul. In our heartfelt conversation, we explore what it means to “grow old” rather than simply “get old.” We also discuss the regenerative power of repair, how curiosity and play keep us alive to possibility, and why self-awareness is the foundation for collective healing. Jennifer shares stories from her lifelong practice integrating astrology and psychology, her commitment to inner work, and how she continues to find joy and meaning amid turbulence. She reminds us that regeneration begins within and that the more we cultivate presence, imagination, and compassion in our daily lives, the more we contribute to a world renewed by connection and love.

  8. Breaking Out of the Man Box: Tony Porter and Kimya Motley on Healing, Accountability, and Regeneration

    Breaking Out of the Man Box: Tony Porter and Kimya Motley on Healing, Accountability, and Regeneration

    Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual and physical abuse, which may be distressing for some listeners. Please take care while listening. In this episode of Regenerative Mindset, I’m joined by two extraordinary leaders reshaping the way we think about masculinity, healing, and community: Tony Porter, CEO of A Call to Men, and Kimya Motley, the organization’s Chief Communications Officer. Together, they are transforming cultural narratives around manhood and violence prevention and building a movement rooted in compassion, accountability, and respect. Tony Porter is an internationally recognized educator, activist, and author of Breaking Out of the Man Box. His groundbreaking work with A Call to Men has influenced institutions from the NFL and NBA to the U.S. military and the United Nations. Named by GQ Magazine as one of the “Top 10 TED Talks Every Man Should See,” Tony continues to challenge the rigid norms that teach boys to disconnect from their emotions, silence their empathy, and dominate rather than relate. His mission is clear: to call men into the movement—not out of shame, but toward responsibility and love. Joining him is Kimya Motley, an author, educator, and domestic violence survivor whose story of resilience has inspired millions through Red Table Talk, Essence Magazine, and her powerful memoir Born of Violence. As a national leader in violence prevention and director of A Call to Men’s documentary Intentionally Erased, Kimya brings both heart and clarity to the urgent conversation about healing across gender and racial lines. Together, Tony and Kimya speak candidly about dismantling the “man box”, the narrow social code that harms men and women alike, and how breaking free allows for personal and cultural regeneration. We explore the intersections of trauma and transformation, how silence from “good men” perpetuates harm, and why true healing demands both accountability and empathy. This conversation is deeply human, full of truth, humor, and hard-earned wisdom. It’s about shifting from domination to connection, from violence to care, and from isolation to community. Tony and Kimya remind us that regeneration begins in the heart with courage, humility, and the willingness to see one another fully.
