Bodily Autonomy: Feminist Futures and The Foundation of Justice
For International Women's Day 2026, our host and COO, Sophie speaks with Rebecca Shadwick, Campaigner for Gender Rights and Justice at Oxfam International, about the ongoing fight for gender rights and justice.
They discuss the importance of bodily autonomy as a foundation for justice, the challenges posed by anti-rights movements, and the need for solidarity among feminist and queer movements. The conversation also explores the role of technology in shaping gender rights and the necessity of reimagining a just future, a focus of Oxfam's International Women's Day campaign.
Last but certainly not least, we conclude the episode with concrete steps for individuals and communities to take action towards achieving gender equality and justice!

How did sisters build Cubbi to help new parents and end up on Dragons' Den?
Two sisters. No startup handbook. A very real problem. And a Dragons' Den deal.
In this episode of Igniting Change, Olivia and Tanyka Davson share how they built Cubbi, a money-saving app and community for new and expecting parents, right in the middle of a cost-of-living squeeze. We talk building without "experience", going viral, and what it takes to scale fast when you know national TV attention is about to hit.
Tune in and find out which Dragon backed them...

AI Adoption Is Here. Guardrails Aren't. Here's How You Adopt Responsibly
After launching our AI Adoption Report, we kept hearing the same question from purpose-led teams: "Great… so what do we do next?"
In this episode, Duncan Cook (CEO) and Matt Lawrence (Head of Marketing) walk through our new downloadable, fill-out-able AI Adoption Toolkit, designed to help organisations adopt AI responsibly in a practical, no-drama way.
We cover how to start small, choose the right problems, protect sensitive data, set guardrails that make experimentation safer, and think about rollback when AI tools don't behave like traditional software. We also dig into why community engagement still lags, and why it matters more than most teams think.
