   Shaping the Future of Organic Living With Amy McDonald, Biona UK

   How do you choose a healthier future? Something good for you, and good for the planet? Biona is shaping the future of organic living, and in today's episode, Stephanie is joined by Amy Berger-McDonald, General Manager of Biona Organic, for a conversation that goes far beyond the brand's origin and 30-year legacy. Biona is one of the UK's first 100% organic companies. This is a masterclass in growing the organic food movement, raising UK farming standards to match Europe, and reshaping how we nourish our bodies. Discover practical tips on eating better, how to fuel your health, and navigate the challenges of organic accessibility and availability. From growing up in a household built around organic principles to guiding Biona's expansion over the last 15 years, Amy shares hard-earned lessons on leadership, resilience, and building a household name from the ground up, to practical tools to make healthier, more sustainable choices every single day, and how we can all be healthier and kinder to our planet. Unlike many mainstream food brands that have been acquired by massive conglomerates, Biona remains proudly independent and family-run. They have championed ethical, farm-to-table integrity through strict no-GMO standards, regenerative agriculture, eco-friendly glass packaging, and an unwavering commitment to putting the planet over corporate profits. 0:00 Introduction & Biona's Mission 3:12 Growing Up in a Purpose-Led Household 5:36 The Secret Behind Biona's Success 7:16 Joining the Family Business & Pivotal Shifts 9:23 Advice for Young Entrepreneurs & Multi-Channel Strategy 14:16 The Future of Organic Farming & UK Challenges 19:32 Availability, Accessibility, and Leadership 25:22 Practical Tips for Transitioning to Organic 29:42 Quickfire Questions & Personal Insights Eat Well, Organic and Live Sustainably Shop Biona: https://biona.co.uk/ Follow Biona for delicious organic recipes and updates: https://www.instagram.com/bionaorganic/ #OrganicLiving #BionaOrganic #OrganicFoodMovement #SustainableAgriculture #OrganicFarmingUK #HealthyEatingTips #EcoFriendlyLiving #WECAN #StephanieFerrario #FemaleFounders #OrganicPantry #PreventativeHealth #IndependentBrands ________________________________________________________________________ For any questions or inquiries regarding this video, please reach out to us @Wecan.Shecan 🔔 Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the Notification Bell for more interviews with role models! 👉 Connect with us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wecan.shecan/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shecan-world/ Substack: https://shecan.substack.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0MAiuylxS5AhxCSQcm8cax?si=003fe73047cd465c YOU CAN BE WHAT YOU CAN SEE!

   In today's episode, meet your gut's new best friend and the founder behind the next-generation functional dairy brand Cultie (formerly known as Culture), Tara Habsburg. Driven by her personal healing journey from autoimmune disease and a passion for preventative medicine, Tara is transforming everyday nutrition into a science-backed daily ritual by harnessing the power of A2 sheep's milk. Sheep's gentle proteins and rich nutrient profile make it naturally easier to digest and the ultimate vehicle for delivering 50 billion live probiotic strains. Tara shows us the reality of an early-stage FMCG product just before launch and the challenges entrepreneurs encounter to bring a product to market. Young entrepreneurs, this episode and story is for you! This next-generation probiotic yoghurt brand is at the intersection of biotechnology, fermentation, and everyday nutrition, applying cutting-edge gut health and microbial research to a familiar food category. They are creating dairy products with real, measurable functional benefits, without compromising taste. Tune in for lessons on building a functional dairy brand from the ground up, all driven by her personal healing journey, and discover how she transitioned from small-batch production in Upper Austria to retail expansion across Vienna and Munich, mastering the high-stakes logistics of refrigerated supply chains, and leveraging personal branding to cut through the industry noise as a young female founder and entrepreneur.

   Learn How We Can Dismantle Gender-Based Violence: Jess Leigh on Systemic Change & Prevention

   Gender-based violence and inequality do not happen in isolation. They are deeply connected threads in a larger system that intersects with mental health, race, and power dynamics. Solving systemic issues requires unravelling these interconnected pieces, together. In today's deeply reflective interview, Stephanie sits down with award-winning campaigner, facilitator, and educator Jess Leigh. She discusses her vital work at the intersection of gender, mental health, and anti-racism, focusing on how we dismantle gender-based violence through systemic change rather than isolated reactions. Drawing on over a decade of designing workshops across schools, universities, and corporate spaces, learn how everyday language, media stereotypes, and cultural conditioning lay the groundwork for structural harm, and why true prevention means transforming our norms long before crisis hits. Jess’s upcoming book, From Words to Wounds, examines why storytelling is our most powerful antidote to polarisation and isolation. At its core, storytelling reconnects our shared humanity, regardless of our background, race, or religion. Our deepest human desires to love, feel safe, and belong are universal. She is on a mission to unravel the tapestry of inequality, proving that small shifts, from the words we use every day to the jokes we normalise, the media we consume, and our awareness, can spark powerful ripple effects of lasting cultural change. 00:00 Introduction & Welcoming Jess Leigh 01:05 The Scale of Gender Inequality & Systemic Conditioning 02:04 From Words to Wounds 04:02 Moving from Reaction to Upstream Prevention 06:23 Personal Pivots: Recognising Inequality Early On 08:06 Transforming Debate into Curious, Empathy-Led Conversation 09:59 Core Learnings: Language is Never Neutral & Growth Lives in Discomfort 11:51 Campaigning, Policy, and Grassroots Education 14:14 Redefining Success 17:21 Facing Resistance, Emotional Labour, and Building Community 21:20 Advice to Younger Selves 22:34 Future Goals #WECAN #JessLeigh #GenderEquality #FromWordsToWounds #SystemicChange #WomenInLeadership #YouthEmpowerment #StorytellingAsResistance Watch her TEDx talk: "Street harassment - it's not ok", which she delivered at TEDxExeter, addressing the systemic nature of public sexual harassment and why society must stop blaming women and girls and instead take a stand against unacceptable behaviour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGZbyUGm3vs Subscribe to her Substack for a living journal of curiosity, essays, and reflections on the intersections of gender, justice, and joy: https://jesssjleigh.substack.com/ _______________________________________________________________________ For any questions or inquiries regarding this video, please reach out to us @Wecan.Shecan 🔔 Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the Notification Bell for more interviews with role models! 👉 Connect with us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wecan.shecan/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shecan-world/ Substack: https://shecan.substack.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0MAiuylxS5AhxCSQcm8cax?si=003fe73047c YOU CAN BE WHAT YOU CAN SEE!

World's #1 Executive Coach Navid Nazemian On Mastering Executive Transitions

Published 31 Mar 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] But as we know too well, as soon as you step up into the top level leadership, you cannot just continue doing the things that you were doing. Now, some of which you may want to continue on your ought to, but some of it you need to drop off and think about what is the new mix of skills and activities I now need to focus on compared to where I came from or what I used to do. So that's one of the reasons. And then the other three, if I wanted to group the top 10 reasons for executive transition failure into only three top reasons, grouped reasons. The first one is people, the second one is culture and the third one is politics. […]
