My next guest was recommended to me by another guest and I am beyond grateful for this connection. When I checked out who she was and what she did and sensed her energy, I knew this was going to be a conversation that we were both looking forward to. Sarah Bryanne Grady is a holistic birth and postpartum doula, a former psychotherapist, yogi and theatre artist. Based in North Carolina, Sarah has started her 7 Sacraments of the Goddess workshops that came to her through Mary Magdalene. The sacraments are all about women returning to their inherent worth and releasing the core wounds of patriarchy that prevent us from living our fullest lives. Each Sacrament is a rite of passage explored through embodied techniques, drawing upon the breath, dance, yoga, and even therapeutic theatre tools. Working in an embodied way allows the concepts of each sacrament to be metabolized in your system so they become grounded into your physical and practical lives. The energy in this conversation was truly electric despite the distance between us and we are both now glad to have met another soul sister. Enjoy this deep yet high energy exploration of women as Queens and Goddesses. This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).

I came across my next guest on Instagram at a time that I really needed her to show up and the series of events that followed from that moment were all thanks to the divine guidance of the universe. When I reached out to her to let her know how her message had reached me as intended, she agreed to be a guest which thrilled me. When she sent me her mini documentary on Youtube, I cried from beginning to end and knew again that we were both exactly where we were meant to be. Neda Boin is a heart touching singer and songwriter, voice liberator, A Course in Miracles teacher and one amazing human being. Based in The Netherlands, she has been a contestant on The Voice in Holland, making it to the final 8 and has since written an album channelled through spirit based on A Course in Miracles called The Light Has Come. She shares the universal language and power of music through giving songwriting workshops in juvenile prisons in Holland and the USA. Through teaching A Course in Miracles to inmates she has seen those prisoners find their freedom while still being imprisoned. This is a truly special episode which I hope you enjoy - make sure you stick around to the very end where Neda performs her title track The Light Has Come and I am moved to tears.

My next guest and I found each other on Instagram and connected through our love of podcasts. It just so happened that I had also been watching her in Lucifer on Netflix and didn’t even realise it til later. https://briannedavis.com (Brianne Davis) is a Hollywood actress, writer, producer and director.

I found my next guest in a Facebook conversation where he asked if anyone wanted to talk to a former Detective and S.W.A.T. Team Breacher on a podcast. I leapt at the chance, thinking of all the possible stories he could share from his days on the force. The conversation we had was far different than I had expected - full of laughter and powerful messages about emotions and how to be a better human. Justin Atherton is a former Detective and SWAT Team breacher who now helps men to achieve peak performance and regain their edge and excel in all areas of life - mentally, emotionally and physically. Basically he helps to unchain the confidence locked inside. After chatting with Justin, I realised we had so much in common and there was no coincidence in us meeting and I hope your day is richer for listening to our conversation.

When I stumbled across my next guest, I knew that it was yet another example of how there are no coincidences and I think on some levels I will be hard pushed to find a greater spiritual alignment in these discussions. Betty J Kovacks PhD earned her doctorate from the University of California, in Comparative Literature and Theory of Symbolic/Mythic Language. She taught Literature, Writing, and Symbolic/Mythic Language for twenty-five years.

I hope you gain some enlightenment from listening to Betty’s story. This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).

Anyone that knows me knows that I love to have a laugh and have been known to make others laugh often. It’s no surprise that I invited my next guest to be on the show to not only share her story but also her powerful message of humour as connector and a healer. Lisa David Olson is speaker, creative coach and author of her memoir Laughs on Wry in which she shares how humour saved her life after an abusive childhood. Based in Minnesota USA, Lisa has been a writer, performer of sketch comedy, parody songs and improvisation for decades and fills hearts with joy wherever she goes.

It’s often underestimated how much sex and intimacy play a part in the foundation of who we are and how we function. Countless people experience trauma, abuse, dysmorphia, a lack of acceptance for themselves, their bodies and who they are. There’s an embedded shame and fear that if we speak about sex and intimacy that we will be judged and that what we might be experiencing is wrong and embarrassing. The truth is that we are not alone and in this episode Dr Lori Beth Bisbey is on a mission to bring the discussions about sex and intimacy out of the darkness and into the light. There are no boundaries, no judgement, no limitations in working with Dr Lori Beth as a psychologist and sex and intimacy coach based in the UK. Since 1987, she has been helping individuals, couples and poly groups explore sexuality, recreate a healthy sexual identity after trauma, as well as deepen their awareness and understanding about intimacy and relationships. There’s something empowering and freeing when these conversations come out of the dark and into the light, so I hope you find the courage to do the same regardless of your sexuality.

My next guest was recommended by another guest and as always I can see why. When I went into this conversation, I wasn’t quite sure where it was going to go. The more we talked, the more I could see with clarity exactly where we were headed. Jen Mason blends over 20 years of experience as an educator and process designer with insights from her PhD research about the role of listening in building resilience in complex, adaptive systems, she works with a sense of both purpose and playfulness. Her goal is to support effective communication and learning, enabling groups to achieve their goals and thrive.

Anyone who knows me knows that music and sound is a large part of my life - from my childhood desire to play any possible musical instrument I could to producing and publishing my own music, to now founding the Ethical Change Agency which is centred around a recording studio for podcasting and music production. In recent years, my healing journey led me to Amanda Mackay who is a Sound Healer who helps strip away inherited beliefs and helps you get to the core of who you really are and to express that. My work with Amanda has changed who I am for the better and driven me to tap into my greater purpose here and make an impact. I received a medium message from a higher power to deliver the concept of this episode and my intuition directed who needed to be a part of this conversation. It was a no brainer when it became clear that my newly found soul sister Dr Ronaye Calvert had to be a part of this powerful panel. Her insights from a clinical perspective and connection with spirit and passion make this circle of connection a perfect fit. I hope you can feel the energy and passion in this conversation and how this helps to raise awareness on your choices in healing and how deeply your life can change. To find out more and to connect with Amanda, visit http://www.amandamackay.com.au/ (www.amandamackay.com.au) and for Ronaye visit https://livetreatmentvip.com or https://revivedetoxlosangeles.com/ (https://revivedetoxlosangeles.com).

When I stumbled across my next guest I had equal measures of intrigue and curiosity and knew we definitely had to chat. In what seems to be an ongoing trend, the global connections created through The Ethical Evolution are abundantly strong and this one did not buck the trend. Deb Matlock is a Shamanic Spirit Guide and Animal Communicator and guides people on their life and spiritual journey using nature and nurture. Deb is based in Colorado USA and is deeply involved in environmental education. My dogs Lola and Louie happened to be a part of this episode and were in the studio - so no doubt you’ll hear them in the background but Lola made an appearance, saying Hi to Deb - she is no stranger to a zoom call and just looked directly at her at the screen. I found my time with Deb so nourishing, like a big warm hug so I hope you pick up on some of that too. This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).

My next guest approached me online and requested to be part of the show and once I heard her story, it really was a no-brainer that I said yes. Fitz Koehler is one of the premier race announcers in America, hosting some of the largest and most prestigious races from coast to coast. As a celebrity trainer and journalist she’s worked with hundreds of the biggest stars such as Brooke Shields, Christina Applegate, Venus Williams and of course, The Wiggles.

Words don’t often fail me but on reflection in this episode there are no words to describe what happened here. I found my next guest in a long list of suggested guests and she stood out to me as being someone I was compelled to speak to - like the universe guided me straight to her. I saw her mission and the work she did and it was enough for me to reach out. The more I learnt about her, the more it became glaringly obvious that there are no coincidences, just divine guidance. Dr Ronaye Calvert is the Executive Director of Live Treatment Concierge Services and Revive Recovery and Detox Services in Los Angeles. She’s a clinical psychologist who has extensive experience working in the addiction and recovery field and the LGBTQ+ community. Her personal philosophy is not to help clients see what is wrong with them, but rather to help them acknowledge and embrace what is right with them. Through the concierge services her team go to the places where their clients are most comfortable - whether it’s on a surfboard, in the workplace or at home for treatment that is customised and unique to each person’s circumstance. Avid viewers of the Dr Phil show may have seen her clinic featured in helping people heal their trauma and transform. While I didn’t quite sign up for a consult with Dr Ronaye, I feel like I too have been transformed from this connection and conversation. So sit back and enjoy this raw and real discovery of recovery. This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).

My next guest piqued my interest and so I invited her to be a part of The Ethical Evolution. Jennifer Pearson is based in North Carolina USA and is a Shamanic Minister, Spiritual Coach, Reiki Master and soon to be Shamanic Breathwork Facilitator. Of course, everything within her wheelhouse got me curious and I had a lot of curious questions just like what exactly does a Shamanic Minister do? I am super keen to try the Shamanic Breathwork though despite Jen’s description of her experience. So let’s open up our minds and sink in for how shamanic principles align with the mission of this very podcast!

My next guest and I were certainly destined to meet on some level and the moment we did, my natural curiosity wanted to know more about how to tap into akashic records.

My next guest was recommended by Sam Skrivere from Ministry of Waste, who featured previously on The Ethical Evolution. Her mission to help Indonesia to manage their waste collided with the need to have sustainable clean drinking water - which is where my next guest comes in. Jeroen van Overbeek is the Founder of Social Impakt, based in Bali, Indonesia. He went from a high flying global corporate career to finding a need to make impact and help others in need. He moved to Bali in 2013 and created Social Impakt with a vision to ensure everyone, everywhere has access to safe and affordable technologies within their homes. The mission is to bring simple, eco-friendly life changing and enhancing technologies like water filters and solar lamps to remote areas and urban centers in Bali and East Indonesia. Social ImpaKt also aims to create micro-business opportunities with these technologies. A simple water filtration system in a bucket purifies undrinkable water into safe, clean drinking water that lasts for up to 3 years. This initiative and the economical opportunities it creates is saving lives in Indonesia.

My next guest was introduced to me by a friend and we have been in similar circles for a while and I am so glad that connection was made. Laura McDonnell is a self confessed accidental Money Coach - but when you hear her story and her abilities - there are no accidents here. Her real approach to money as a Mum with two kids on one wage is inspiring, thought provoking and life changing. I could talk to Laura for hours, so I hope you enjoy our time together chatting about money goals. This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).

My next guest was recommended to me by another guest and I can totally understand why. A former journalist and teacher turned activist and entrepreneur, for the past five years Jackie Faye has been working in a conflict zone. She is the founder of She Can Tri. She Can Tri started on the basis of using sports as a vehicle for social change. To launch the organization she became the first woman to do six IRONMANs on six continents within one year. She Can Tri's model is pretty simple. Women who participate in sports often become leaders. Leaders, from business to politics to the military, shape the world in which we live. She wanted to not just empower women who looked like her and were easy to reach, but she wanted to reach the women who needed it the most and thought if she could train women in Afghanistan then she could train women anywhere. Jackie’s mission is to help empower women who have been oppressed through training in physical fitness - something for many of them they have never had the opportunity to ever do in their lives. Get set to be inspired by Jackie’s tenacity and will to create collective change for women who need it the most.

My next guest approached me to be part of The Ethical Evolution and share her story of her quest to change gender parity globally, allowing for diversity in leadership in the workplace and in government. By making that collective change, the world can truly change and we are all responsible for making our contribution by noticing where it is needed. Susan Sloan is the author of A Seat at the Table: Women, Diplomacy, and Lessons for the World. She works for a global nonprofit advocacy organization in Washington, D.C. engaging with diplomats, government officials, community organizers, and international leaders. I’m truly grateful for connecting with Susan and know that we need to spread her message as far and wide as possible.

Alexi Bracey is a Thriving as you age Coach based in Toronto, Canada. Alexi's cancer diagnosis saved her life because of her tenacity and determination. Spending hours doing research at libraries and bookstores she conquered cancer without drugs, surgery or any medical intervention within a year. She has spent the last 20 years, learning all she could about health nutritionally, emotionally and environmentally. A recent trip to a nursing home changed her direction when she saw firsthand the devastating effects of dementia on some of the residents: no eye contact, no interaction, cutting up their food, feeding them. Even more shocking was that some of the residents were younger than Alexi. Today, she educates people that dementia can be prevented, stopped, and in some cases reversed. In our discussion we talk about ageing and retirement and how our attitudes and language need to change, along with the food and care provided for the elderley.

When I recently found myself going down a media rabbit hole surrounding the death of George Floyd during an arrest in the USA and the subsequent global riots, protests and solidarity around the Black Lives Matter movement - I could feel the energy of a generation of pain. I wondered what I could do to help spark a collective change in consciousness that could make us question our beliefs, mindset and bias we unknowingly carry and most of all - wake us up - this is the first step. Two amazing women came to mind and if you’re a regular listener to The Ethical Evolution Podcast, you would have heard them both previously. Rev Sheree Taylor-Jones and Raushawna Price both live in the USA - on opposite sides of the country, they both experienced growing up black in America and do amazing work in the world when it comes to adult bullying, beliefs, thought patterns and mindset. So it was a bit of a no-brainer that I got these 2 sisters together on our mission of collective change to have the conversation that needs to be had. This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).

My next guest was recommended to me by another guest in the act of paying it forward. When the COVID-19 pandemic grounded us all globally, it was a great opportunity for me to catch up and connect with changemakers like this amazing lady. Sam Skrivere is the Founder and CEO of Ministry of Waste based in the UK. Originally from Latvia, Sam now is on a mission to create and execute waste management systems for polluted and disadvantaged communities in developing countries. Less plastic in the ocean, brands acting responsibly and more revenue for local communities - it’s that simple. Sam is currently focusing on Indonesia to tackle the tonnes of waste that goes unmanaged and ends up in the marine environment, whilst empowering locals. I honestly could have sat with Sam for hours on this subject, so I hope you soak up the inspiration and passion for collective change in this episode.

This week I have another guest who reached out to me online to be a part of The Ethical Evolution. Through our conversation it became evident that it is clear when organisations focus on their people rather than tasks, results will always follow. Adam Sinkus is a business coach who takes his expertise to show small businesses how they can use processes and people to scale up. By helping leadership to focus on it’s people, Adam ensures not only collective change, but also a change in culture for good.
