“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist. He is the founder of CLAWS , an organization based in Botswana that's working at the intersection of cutting-edge wildlife research and community driven conservation. Since its start in 2014 and official launch as an NGO in 2020, CLAWS has been pioneering science-based, tech-forward strategies to reduce conflict between people and carnivores.

Episode 14 (S7). Grief Isn't linear: Navigating Grief and Loss (feat: Imogen) 27:20

för 9 dagar sedan27:20

27:20

In this episode, we have an important and long-overdue conversation about grief and loss—our relationship with them, the support systems that carry us, and how we learn to live alongside deep emotional pain. We’re joined by Imogen, who shares her personal journey navigating the loss of a loved one. She speaks honestly about how grief has shaped who she is, her evolving relationship with loss, and how the brilliant charity Eden’s Trust provided a safe and supportive space when she needed it most. Eden’s Trust is a London-based charity offering free, confidential support to people and families dealing with bereavement. Through peer groups, counselling, and community events, they help individuals feel less alone in their grief and find ways to heal in their own time and on their own terms. Grief isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s complex, personal, and often hidden. Together, we explore what it means to create space for grief, and how one navigates it while attempting to move forward.

Episode 13 (S7). Navigating the Teenage Experience – Lessons from Netflix’s Adolescence 37:14

för 23 dagar sedan37:14

37:14

In this episode, we dive right into the Netflix series Adolescence—what it reveals about systemic issues in today’s world, the societal lessons it offers, and how it reflects the challenges of being a teenager. Adolescence is more than just a phase; it’s a critical period of self-discovery, identity formation, and navigating systemic pressures. But how has the experience of being a teenager evolved, and what does Adolescence teach us about the ways society shapes (and often fails) young people? Whether it’s toxic masculinity, violence against women and girls, socio-economic inequality, or the pressures of social media, we explore the unique struggles facing teenagers today—and what we can do, as individuals and as a collective, to create a more supportive world where adolescents can thrive rather than just survive. If you’re a fan of the TV show, care about youth empowerment, and want to help shape a better future for the next generation, this episode is for you.

Episode 12 (S7). Multidirectional Solidarity in Uncertain Times 36:11

för 5 weeks sedan36:11

36:11

In this episode, we delve into multidirectional solidarity—what it means, why it’s essential, and how it can drive real change, especially in the face of challenges to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. As Donald Trump and others seek to roll back these efforts, we explore why standing together across different minoritised groups is more important than ever. From the power of allyship to the necessity of intersectional activism, we discuss how communities can resist division and continue pushing for justice. We also talk about the importance of hope—how maintaining it fuels long-term change and keeps us engaged in the fight for equity. Through real-world examples, historical context, and personal reflections, we unpack what true solidarity looks like, why it must go beyond single-issue activism, and what we can all do to ensure no one is left behind in the struggle for justice. If you care about social justice, DEI, and collective liberation, this episode is for you.

Episode 11 (S7). Unpacking Adultification (feat. Jahnine Davis) 43:39

för 7 weeks sedan43:39

43:39

In this episode, we sit down with Jahnine Davis to explore adultification—what it is, how it impacts children, specifically Black children, and why it’s a crucial issue we need to address. From being perceived as older than they are to facing harsher expectations and reduced protections, adultification bias shapes the way Black children experience education, social care, and the justice system. Jahnine brings her expertise and lived experience to unpack how adultification manifests, the long-term effects it has on young people, the influence of racism and what we can do to challenge these harmful narratives. Through real-life examples, research insights, and practical strategies, we discuss what we can do to advocate for Black children to be seen, protected, and supported as who they truly are—children. If you’re passionate about social justice, child protection, or simply want to understand this issue more deeply, this episode is essential listening.

In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked yet pervasive issue of ageism—the bias that can lead to stereotyping and discrimination based on a person’s age.

We explore why this topic is so important, how ageism manifests in the workplace, and what we can all do to foster a more inclusive culture. From personal stories to practical advice, we discuss what ageism means to us, how it can impacts confidence, and share insights on how to challenge these biases for the benefit of everyone.

In this episode, we dive into the all-too-relatable experience of Imposter Syndrome—the fear that others will eventually uncover your perceived weaknesses and question your competence in the same way you do.

We explore why this topic is so important, how imposter syndrome impacts us in the workplace, and what others can do to support those navigating their own struggles with it. Whether you're new to a role, experienced in your profession, someone who supports others in the workplace, or just trying to quiet that voice of self-doubt, this episode will help you see imposter syndrome from a fresh perspective.
