What is it that makes someone want to become an activist? Peta Goodwin is an activist and co-founder of the unplanned movement called Nannas for Native Forests. Being an activist takes time, co-ordination skills and a lot of work – especially if you are the co-founder. There has been a groundswell of support for Nannas for Native Forests as people realise or come to realise how destructive the culling of forests means for the environment.
Destroying trees has consequences - for humans and climate change.
I have never interviewed an activist before let alone spoken to one but knew off the bat Peta and I have something in common. Our love of trees.
Join Peta and me as we discuss the unplanned founding of a movement and what it has meant to Peta’s life beyond retirement. You also get to hear Peta sing the Nanas anthem! It’s awesome!
Time: 20.58min

· What it’s like being a co-leader of a movement when you are supposed to be retired!

Ever wondered what it would be like to foster a child in the middle of nowhere? Jane Smith (not her real name) lives on a station somewhere in Australia on 1 million acres of land.
Jane was studying to be a doctor and during her training she did a few units on indigenous affairs and thought she had it all covered when she and her husband decided to adopt two indigenous children.
Little did she realise she was going to go on a roller coaster ride that would involve intergenerational trauma and all the behaviours that came with it.
Jane wanted to share this story so that people would get a real insight into the joys and challenges of adoption. She shares her fears and being humbled by the personal and spiritual growth she has experienced since adopting two indigenous children.
Jane also provides some insight into being a white woman who moves between a white world and indigenous culture because she wants her adopted children to never forget their indigenous heritage.
I invite you to listen to Jane’s experience.
A couple of things about the interview:
· No indigenous names are mentioned in this story.
· If you find this story triggering at any point please stop listening and seek the advice of an appropriate health professional.

What makes someone decide to do a 19.7km ocean swim from local iconic Perth swimming spot Cottesloe Beach to Rottnest Island?
Imogen Mason had always loved swimming as a child. She dreamed of participating in the Cottesloe to Rottnest ocean swim but never really thought it would become a reality. In 2020 she made the decision to give it a go.
In 6.5 months of training Imogen swam over 500km and at her peak, was swimming 7km per day. Her challenge was her mindset.
Did she make it all the way? Have a listen and find out!

I first met Chloe Baigent when I was offering meditation classes. That was a few years ago. I remember her being quiet and thoughtful. She was working in horticulture at the time.
Fast forward a few years later and Chloe now works in youth affairs. She got there after a stellar academic performance which garnered her five awards at local, regional, state and national level.
She also did something she never thought she’d do. Become an artist.
How did she get to this point? It was a life changing moment when Chloe and her husband Kurt found out they couldn’t have children. Rather than go down the path of IVF she chose to pivot and go down a very different path.
Today we learn of Chloe’s courage to make change happen when a ‘taken for granted’ life choice is taken away.
