“we are living on this planet as if we had another one to go to” Terri Swearingen
If we all make small changes, big things can happen. This episode our guest Jannine shares with us ways families can make small yet meaningful change for both greater quality of life and for the betterment of our planet.
Raising kids is, lets face it, a huge ecological footprint on the planet, but it doesn't have to be all bad. With your purchasing power and a minimalist approach to parenting life with little ones can be earth friendly. We will be going over simple and practical changes you can start making today.
My guest is Jannine Barron founder of Natures Child, a progressive earth based business for the past 18 years. Jannine is a self described entrepreneur activist and mother of two.

Reconnecting our kids - and ourselves - with nature

“The future will belong to the nature-smart—those individuals, families, businesses, and political leaders who develop a deeper understanding of the transformative power of the natural world and who balance the virtual with the real. The more high-tech we become, the more nature we need.” - Richard Louv, author "The Last Child in the Woods".
Sally's interview with Rohan Stewart from Brunswick Bush School (www.brunsbushschool.com.au) about the importance of nature connection and the weekly opportunity their school provides for children in the community to develop a closer connection with their natural environment, as well as bush survival skills.

Birth stories: Reading between the lines with Hannah Dahlen

Many women do not receive appropriate care when in labour, making birth more difficult and painful. They then rarely get the opportunity afterwards to debrief with their carer about the events. This can lead to misunderstandings that they can pass onto pregnant women, in turn making them frightened and more likely to experience a difficult birth. Prof. Hannah Dahlen interprets some birth stories to help dispel some common myths on birth.
