On April 16, 2009, Kim Hamer watched her 44-yr-old husband take his last breath. During his illness and after his death, she was amazed by the helpful ways their coworkers, bosses, friends, and family supported them. Kim started calling their kind actions "acts of love." After the death of her husband, Kim, a HR leader, noticed that managers received no guidance when navigating cancer or death on their teams. She set out to change that. Combining her personal experience with her professional knowledge and leadership skills, Kim launched 100 Acts of Love, a consultancy that provides tools to help leaders increase team productivity, trust, and engagement when cancer affects the whole team member. She is also the author of 100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Your Friend through Cancer or Loss. Kim and I both know we were destined to meet, this was most certainly not by chance - the universe knew exactly what it was doing. You may not notice it, but both of us were on the verge of tears a few times in this episode, so we both hope it helps someone out there.

Rich Lewis inspires people to discover their true selves and to impact the world through centering prayer. Centering prayer opens us to the gift of contemplative prayer. During Contemplative prayer we sit with God. We open our mind, heart and body to God who is beyond thoughts, words and emotions. Centering prayer does not replace other forms of prayer. It complements them. In comparison to meditation where we sit with ourselves, in centering prayer we sit with God. Rich’s latest book ‘Sitting with God’ takes you on the journey to your true self through centering prayer. Through our conversation it became clear we were on the same page when it came to silence and the importance of just getting started in a daily ritual of transformation.

Dr. Steve Yacovelli has been in the leadership, learning and development, change management, and diversity and inclusion consulting space pretty much his whole career (about twenty-five years). A few years ago, Steve realized that the focus on specifically developing LGBTQ+ Leaders wasn’t really top of mind for many organizations. So, “The Gay Leadership Dude™” was born. It’s Steve’s brand to “come out” and acknowledge the role he wants to take to give back to the LGBTQ+ Community and awesome Allies. It’s refreshing to cut through the noise with Steve and ask the questions that only those in the Queer Community know should be answered, all while having some fun and spreading the love. I hope you learn something from this episode - and also get a laugh. This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).

There is a fine line between emotional awareness and spiritual awakening, and that is where Benjy Sherer thrives as a mentor and teacher. Guiding people to emotional mastery, Benjy bridges the gaps between psychology, spirituality and philosophy. Those 3 realms are all intrinsically connected in his unique - and yet intuitively and compellingly simple - approach to self love and emotional mastery. Growing up with a deep existential need for answers, his academic background in Philosophy and World Religions, left him pessimistic at the soul level about our ultimate role in this universe and the purpose of life. It wasn’t until after a dark night of the soul and a spiritual awakening of his own which led him to rediscover his true purpose and learn the skills, tools, and techniques that he teaches to clients today. His overall approach is about “Feelings First”, referring to the notion that we can master our emotions directly, without the need for deep intellectual analysis, ultra-spiritual practices, or pharmaceutical medications. He teaches people how to connect directly with the emotions and sensations of their body - without fear, guilt or shame - and to allow these feelings to run through them so that they can be truly released. Benjy and I could have talked all day as we had yet found another kindred soul connection who understood us at our core. I hope you get some gold out of this time we spent together.

Will Rodriguez has a background in science and spent a good slice of his life in the television industry. His evolution led him to podcasting, where he worked his way through a breakdown to create The Skeptic Metaphysician, connecting with leaders in different modalities of woowoo and healing to truly find what works. As a scientist, Will didn’t believe in blind faith and had to find the proof for himself. Through this conversation, we share our journeys which are incredibly similar and how podcasting has changed our lives.

I’d been getting messages from spirit for a while that told me we need to talk about shame more and make people aware of what it is and how damaging it can be in our lives. In the message I received, I could see the faces of the people who needed to be a part of this powerful and meaningful conversation. Experience has shown me that when I follow through on these messages and bring together the hearts, minds and souls of incredible specialists in their field that I call friends from around the world - true magic happens.

My next guest is Nate Rifkin - an author, who on his quest to be an entrepreneur spiralled into debt, drinking, depression, loneliness and self-loathing. After a brutal bankruptcy and doing all he could to crawl out from this hole he had created, the spiritual practice of Daoism and daily standing meditation turned his entire life around. Once Nate had achieved that inner balance and peace, all the other aspects of his life started to fall into place. I truly loved this honest, open, connected space with Nate and I hope you do too.

My next guest is Elliot Hasoon - a Body Transformation Coach, primarily based in the UK. Elliot is not just your average Coach though and this is why I was drawn to speak with him. The difference with Elliot and his team and their online coaching is their holistic approach that is customised to every individual. Often it’s the healing on the inside that needs to occur before we see results on the outside which also leads to long lasting results, unlike many cookie cutter body transformations and challenges that leave you back in worse shape than when you started. It’s time for us to get conscious about what our bodies need, understand that we can’t do it alone and to find the right people to support you on your journey. As you’ll be able to tell I could have chatted with Elliot all day given our shared experiences, so I hope you enjoy the refreshing perspectives we share here.

My next guest was referred by a previous guest for his life changing story and mindset. Paul Forchione was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as an infant and spent many of his formative years in intense physical therapy whilst trying to fit in. Through his life experience Paul discovered his best way to serve the world was to help others shift their mindset and achieve their goals in life.

And as what usually happens in these discussions, I found that Paul and I had so much in common on so many levels. I hope you enjoy this open and thought provoking chat with Paul.

My next guest requested to be on the show and in reflection there is no coincidence here that we were destined to meet. The Rev. Dr Marcia Ledford is a practical theologian and Episcopal priest, native to Detroit, Michigan. She worked as a civil rights attorney for over 30 years prior to her ordination. She encourages progressive Christians to exercise their First Amendment guarantees, calling for a more compassionate approach to our social crises in discrimination, exploitation and equality.

When I found my next guest, my curiosity got the better of me and I just had to speak to her. Melissa Lyon West spent the first 30 years of her life in a cult - this alone led my mind racing to a million questions. Since she left, she has become a coach helping women to find hope in the darkness by leaving fear, shame and guilt behind by finding their voice and creating a life they love waking up to. During our conversation, it became clear to me that Melissa and I had so much in common and my key takeaways were the concept of borrowing courage and feeling the fear and doing it anyway. The reverberating message of not being enough was another that stuck with me and is something we all need to heal. I hope you get as much as I did out of this time with Melissa and the impact she is making. This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).

When I stumbled across my next guest in a list of potential guests it was a no-brainer that we definitely needed to talk as our missions aligned. The more I learned about this exceptional human, the more curious and in awe I became. Jeff Garner describes himself as a romantic visual artist, pioneer and unconventional designer of his sustainable label Prophetik. Apart from unapologetically being a mad scientist of fashion in a way that is kind to humans and the planet, his list of achievements are as breathtaking as his work. He has been named one of the top 40 artists in the US and his works were placed permanently in the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery for the 40 under 40 exhibition. He is also an Emmy award winner for his documentary on sustainable fashion called Remastered. As a prominent ethical voice in the fashion industry, Jeff dresses many artists such as Sheryl Crow, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Kings of Leon just to name a few.

I stumbled across my next guest in a Facebook post and knew that I simply had to speak with him. We leapt at the opportunity and found ourselves in what I know wasthe most beautiful hour of that day. Daniel Bruce Levin walked away from an opportunity to run a billion dollar business, to hitchhike around the world to find happiness and inner peace. He studied in a seminary five years and left one day before becoming a Rabbi and he has lived as a Monk in a monastery for 10 years. As Director of Business Development, he grew Hay House from $3 million a year in sales to $100 million a year in revenue. Danny is a visionary and the author of the life changing fable - The Mosaic - his thinking is so profound that it became clear our missions aligned.

My next guest was recommended to me by another guest and I am beyond grateful for this connection.

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.

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.

Anyone that knows me knows that I love to have a laugh and have been known to make others laugh often.

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 & 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 & 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. Shivany Gonell is an Intuitive Biz Mystic who helps you align your business with your soul through reading akashic records, along with a number of other modalities. After healing herself of cervical cancer in her early twenties, Shivany went on to conquer the quest of find out who she really was through Psychotherapy, Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Meditation, Breath Work, Energetic Medicine, Counseling, Soul Profit Business Coaching, Law of Attraction, Pilates, BAUD Technology and 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. After tuning into this conversation, I am sure you will want to contribute to Social Impakt and save lives too.

My next guest is the breath of fresh air and flash of colour and inspiration we all need in our lives right now. We met just over a year ago through another podcast and have remained friends since. Lucy Bloom is a change maker, exceptional communicator and business fixer. She started out in advertising before she stepped into the role of CEO of a new women’s health organisation.

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. This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).
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.

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.

My next guest was introduced to me by an agency in Western Australia doing great work on telling the stories of change-makers. The alignment couldn’t have been more right! Marty McGinty is the Managing Director of Matter - an Australian green-tech start-up on a mission to empower people and communities to track, manage and reduce their waste footprint. Using real-time data, Matter’s patented smart sensor technology and user Apps provide Smart Cities, councils, businesses and homes with the information required to minimise landfill, improve recycling and enable better choices when it comes to waste. Just like we have meters for our gas, water and electricity usage, now we have a metre for our waste.

The company is currently seeking investment to grow the business and expand its reach and impact.

My next guest was another divinely guided connection that I am honoured to share with you. Rev. Sheree Taylor-Jones’ passion is to assist people in questioning their personal beliefs, assessing and analyzing if those beliefs are valuable or need to be changed, and giving them permission to release beliefs which no longer serve them and create new empowering ones. It’s in our ability to question our convictions that we are able to create personal transformation which leads to a collective shift in consciousness. In this interview Rev Sheree comes to us from her motorhome in the woods of Oregon and when I met her online, I knew she was one of my tribe - our connection and energy was electric - enjoy this as our energy sparkles.

My next guest and I crossed paths over 8 years ago when I hosted a local LGBTIQ radio show called Get Your Queer On. I interviewed him then after he had come out to the nation on TV as a contestant on Big Brother. Soon after this reality tv experience he was used as a political football and was bashed for being gay in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley. Back then this wasn’t an easy conversation to have - luckily since then things have changed. David Graham - best known as http://www.farmerdave.com.au (Farmer Dave) graced our screens in 2006 as a Big Brother contestant and has since also been a contestant on Dancing with the Stars and has travelled the world as a model and political activist. Nowadays, Dave is better known for his work as a farmer and animal behaviourist, expanding his big heart, bush skills and kindness to the youth program called http://www.rufftrack.com (Ruff Track) for kids aged between 13-17 who have gone off the rails to give them skills, engagement, education, a sense of self worth and community.

My next guest was recommended to me by another guest in an exercise where they pay it forward. I was excited by their mission and the impact I can see them making globally to help the planet. Their entrepreneurial background on how to build a company means their skills can be used to scale a social impact business that helps create collective change. Ignacio Carcavallo is a digital nomad and Founder of http://www.treevotion.com (Treevotion) with the key mission is to plant 1 billion trees around the world in the most needed areas, building global awareness and consciousness on deforestation, driving people to help and share what they do in order to inspire to help everyday. Every bracelet sold will fund the planting and follow up of 2 trees. I’ve bought my bracelet and selected to plant 2 trees right here in Australia and have received my certificate. Why don’t you join me and Treevotion in the forestation revolution. This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).
My next guest is no stranger to a podcast with me. She has been the voice for modern slavery and human trafficking in Australia in recent years. After seeing the women in Germany being trafficked across eastern borders for sex and supporting them, she returned home to Australia, thinking we were immune to such horror. She soon discovered that the reality was that modern slavery did exist in Australia for tens of thousands of people and not just the sex trade - this made her angry and fueled her mission to create the Freedom Hub. Sally Irwin is the Founder of Freedom Hub, which is a registered charity that equips survivors to live in freedom and they welcome volunteers and local fundraising events to help this cause succeed. They also run a social enterprise café and retail store, which provides an opportunity for every Australian to choose ethically sourced products with no slavery in the supply chain, while making a difference in the lives of others. 100% of profits support the administration of our Survivor School. With Freedom Hub cafes on the Gold Coast and in Sydney, along with an event venue focused on ethical event celebrations, this truly is a cause we need to get behind.

When my Naturopath recommended I go organic I found it a bit daunting at first. Then when I found the right places for organic produce and products, I felt like I was home. Sometimes it can be difficult to get everything organic, but starting is the easiest part and it just flows from there. So when it came to the choice of choosing an organic coffee, I didn’t find it too difficult. The coffee I found was fair trade, which really means a lot - you’ll find that in this episode, it was organic, it was a Queensland company and it was also socially conscious. Oh did I mention the coffee is delicious too? So my choice was Montville Coffee and from day 1 I was hooked! I was a bit chuffed to get the chance to speak to Founder Karen Barnett about their story and how they are one of the few B Corp certified coffee companies in Queensland. The more I got to chat with Karen, the more I could see her mission unfold and the impact they make locally and globally. So the next time you see a pack of Montville Coffee, grab one and give it a go - you are not just supporting a Queensland company, you’re also behind a global movement. Let’s talk coffee and global domination with Karen Barnett... This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).
If you know me, you know my next guest is no stranger to waves of sound. We met about 8 months ago and since then our lives have changed for the better. She has mindblowing intuition and is a holistic healer who truly loves what she does. She’s a Kindness Advocate with a mission to spread kindness globally, understanding that kindness is at the root of all we need to heal. Amanda Mackay is a Sound Healer and all round amazing human - she uses instruments like singing bowls, tuning forks, gongs, drums and more and uses the vibration of sound waves to connect with emotions in the Biofield. This vibration balances the 'charge' of emotion allowing a balance to occur, so that when you recall a situation there isn't the same emotional response to the pain. I can truly say that Amanda has changed my life this year and helped me to become a better human and to heal so much pain and resistance that had been holding me back for so long. My sessions with Amanda are transformative and no two sessions are the same. If you’re even curious about sound healing, please get in touch with Amanda.

Amidst the volumes of research I did to create https://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency) and exploring the guests that I knew would have a great alignment with The Ethical Evolution, I came across a remarkable woman who I believe needs a hell of a lot more recognition than she currently gets. To put it simply, she’s a woman who makes things happen and she knew from a young age that she wanted to make a difference in this world when she understood that a long human life is only about 650,000 hours and she wanted to make the most of every one of them. https://www.nickymih.com (Nicky Mih) is the founder and Managing Director of the child protection organisationhttp://www.freetoshine.org/ ( )http://www.freetoshine.org/ (Free To Shine), and has led a team of professionals, including social workers, psychologists and education officers, to secure the safety of girls across rural Cambodia. Nicky and her team have worked with police, community leaders and schools to prevent girls being trafficked into the commercial sex industry and help them achieve their rights to access education, safe drinking water, enough food and adequate shelter. Leading a child protection organisation has taught Nicky Mih lessons in ethical and effective leadership, while the girls and their families have taught Nicky perspective, strength, community and even joy. I was really moved by what Nicky does and what she faces and the lives she changes - grab your tissues and settle in with this remarkable woman.

My next guest was another incredible Instagram find of ethical goodness. A passionate little lady with a mission to reduce waste and go plastic free in what we buy. Whilst on her travels around the globe she saw the impact our addiction with plastic was having on not only the environment, the marine world, but also us as human beings. After finally settling in New Zealand she felt she needed to do something to make a difference. Living a sustainable life wasn’t quite as easy for her in New Zealand as it was when she lived in here in Australia. So she decided to do something to change this. Annie Shaw is the Founder of Ethically So, a low waste, plastic free online store based in New Zealand. All products are naturally sustainable, reusable, locally sourced or plastic free. She’s on a mission to make living a waste free life the normality. We need to think about where our products come from and how they end up in our hands. Get ready to be inspired by Annie...

I discovered my next guest through her blog around a year ago and I remember reading her words and they filled me with hope, they made me laugh and it was like I had found a kindred spirit. She’s real, she’s raw, she’s highly intelligent, a brilliant writer and artist and she leaves you coming back for more. I remember the first interview I did with her - it was like I’d found a new best friend and we chatted for ages about how similar our lives were and how much we had in common. Despite being a multi-millionaire entrepreneur, she takes the time to embrace this human experience and engage with those who support her. http://www.leoniedawson.com (Leonie Dawson) is an artist, an author, a Mum, a philanthropist, a highly successful entrepreneur who is best known for her My Shining Year Goal Life & Business workbooks. Her list of philanthropic endeavours is incredible and not only does she do what she loves, she gives back to others so that they too can be their best self, regardless of their circumstances. She contributes to create and support schools, libraries and communities in countries like India and Africa. I hope you enjoy this beautiful moment in time with Leonie as much as I did.

My next guests were an Instagram find of goodness that made me realise there really are good people in this world who are wanting to make a collective change in the way we do things. The further I explored, the more I realised I had found my tribe and this became even more apparent when we finally got the chance to chat and record this interview. We left each other energised and inspired, knowing this wouldn’t be the first or the last time we see each other. Betsy & Francis is a design agency, founded by Nicole & James, a very happy couple who are committed to giving back to the planet whilst supporting ethical businesses to grow through branding and web design.

Ethical entrepreneur and creative powerhouse Tamara Loehr has spent her life making disruptive change for good by ‘doing the opposite’. Now she’s encouraging other women to leverage their personal power for global impact. Her book - Balance is BS demonstrates how to have a work, life blend. The book also addresses the recurring issues women (and many men) face as entrepreneurs: the reality of losing more than we win, the need to take a stand against bad behaviour in business, and misconceptions around having to ‘compromise’ as a working parent. A major share of Tamara’s profits from the book are being donated to Buy1Give1. With her instinct for picking brands that elevate the industry, Tamara invested in a gut health functional snack food company called Gutsii, and premium vegan haircare brand Hot Tresses. Tamara has set her sights on disrupting the beauty industry with her Dollar Beauty Tribe. Tamara believes the purchasing power of consumers in the beauty industry can abolish animal testing, set a new ethical standard for beauty brands and positively impact the world.
I wanted to tell you the story behind how we got here and by that I mean - Ethical Change Agency and The Ethical Evolution podcast. I have had a diverse career in tourism, digital, communications and radio. I have volunteered a good chunk of my life, giving back to communities, small businesses, women and those who needed me. In the last year I have been fortunate to speak to hundreds of people who are really great at what they do, but not really great at telling others about it. I soon realised that I had a nack for extracting the true message from people and what they wanted to achieve. I saw where I could help, I saw where I could create, support, elevate and collaborate. It became clear to me that there was a need to help promote those ethical business owners, those changemakers and holistic healers who were all making a change in the world. Imagine if we amplified those voices and led the charge for a collective change. In the last year, I have become a more enlightened, conscious human being through my own healing and self acceptance. I’ve spent a lot of time researching, reading, meditating and stretching my imagination, mind and body. Through this exploration and meditation, I have received messages and visions that the universe intends for me. On a night a few months ago now, I got a vision of a commercial premises, which was all decked out in skandi style, it had a professional recording studio, video recording studio, retail store, meditation rooms, listening pods, boardroom, training rooms, consulting rooms, a breakout kitchen area and outdoor area where you can connect with nature. It was located near parkland or by the water to make our connection to nature even greater. I didn’t really know what to make of it at the time but there was a logo on the wall in neon on the beechwood wall with the word agency with a capital A and a circle around that A - like a grade on a paper.
Over time the vision became clearer after speaking to thought leaders, entrepreneurs and business coaches - soon my team was mapped out on paper, the floor plan for the premises was a little more tangible and my goals to reach those who needed me became global. That vision was an agency and for a while it was known as The Agency - but I knew with the way the world works I couldn’t call it that and it would be a disservice if I did. I needed time to be clearer and connect with what the universe presented me and when I came to realise that there are all these amazing people wanting to do good, but wasting time and money on things that were no longer serving them - it was my mission to get them on the right path. These people wanted to see change in the world - it was the reason they were doing business and giving back or creating an environment where they could give back was entrenched in them. They were passionate about helping people, helping the planet, helping those less fortunate, educating others - their motivation was not greed - it was kindness and care - ethical change. And soon after that realisation, the universe sent me the Ethical Change Agency.
My specialisation is podcasts and sound, but a holistic communication approach for those who needed it was really my niche. My decades in corporate, with eons of lessons learned have proven to be valuable. There’s a new way of driving business and it’s not what you think - it’s about becoming an authority in what you do - a thought leader and when you are a changemaker, your impact is greater. So when I asked the question - do I need my own podcast (again) - the answer was a resounding yes and after agonising days of word play with those in earshot - The...
