Waste Not Want Not podcast
The inspiration to launch a podcast came from the aftermath of the Covid shut down. I was sick and tired of hearing the incessant doom and gloom that sapped people of hope; and as my family motto is ‘hope lightens difficulties’ and I know so many people with inspirational stories about the fulfilling lives they’ve created, I felt compelled to do something to empower people with a message that anyone can create the kind of change they want to see in the world. The concept synced with my passion to reduce the waste of our natural resources – human potential and our environment, so even though I had no idea how I was going to make it happen, I trusted the challenge I’d set for myself would come to life
I discovered a fabulous man in my community by the name of David Klum who just happened to know how to edit, so after a few hours of tutelage, armed with new skills and amped with enthusiasm I got recording and broadcast the first episode of Waste Not Want Not on the 1st December 2021 – being Antarctic Day a poignant day for me. It was going to be fortnightly, but I enjoyed it so much, I ended up publishing weekly episodes. I took a break for a month after a year, then settled into a more leisurely monthly show as the editing was getting too much to manage with life getting busier. I aired my last episode in April 2024 just before I travelled the UK to visit family, then to Portugal to walk a 280km Camino. When I returned home in July, it was head down and bum up to build my tiny home.
I’ve had the privilege of interviewing world renowned names like Dr Bruce Lipton, Dr David Martin, Dr Gladys McGarey, Veda Austin, Leif Cocks and Dr Rodolfo Werner. My other guests may not be as well known, but their contribution to creating meaningful change is no less extraordinary. The subjects covered are phenomenal ranging from a myriad of wellbeing practises to the welfare and conservation of land, sea and animals including horses, bees and cetaceans, regenerative farming, dairy farming permaculture, the power of plants and food, sustainable practices for building and living with less waste, education, celebrating life and death, shamanism, the science of meaning, astrology and last but not least mindblowing adventures by innovative youngsters. Be sure to click through to your preferred podcast platform where you’ll undoubtedly find an episode that resonaes with you.
It’s now February 2025 and I’m actually living in my tiny house ready to start a new season with my 65th episode – this time with video as I love watching podcasts because I feel a deeper connection to the host and guest – something I want for my own show. The shows will be aired monthly with a focus on raising consciousness. My guests will inspire and inform you with nuggets of wisdom they gained from discovering and using their gift; to give you hope and an understanding that there’s so much more to life beyond the realms of what you may currently believe is possible for yourself.  Together we can build a community to raise the energy for people and the planet to thrive as one.
