Just like Lewis Carrol's character 'Alice', in his fairy tale book "Alice in Wonderland", join me as I take mutiple tumbles down and endless warren or rabbit holes and curiously explore the unique, the magical, the mysterious, the taboo and the, along wit

You cannot be what you cannot see.

Featuring: Tenille Gilbert

Tenille is Co-Founder and Chief Operations Officer at Society Melbourne, the umbrella brand for numerous social enterprises working to create sustainable pathways out of homelessness for young people in Australia.

During our chat you will come to see that Tenille is a passionate advocate for young people, believing in the ability to unleash their potential. I was thrilled to speak with Tenille so we could dismiss the idea that millennials are a ‘snowflake’ generation.

This is an inspiring chat on so many levels! Tune in as Tenille shares her insights on the unique world of social enterprise, the sacrifices the younger generations are willing to make and their belief that if there is a problem then “we CAN do something about it”. Tenille is a great example of how the younger generations don’t wait for the system to create change, they make an impact and live on purpose each day, and we can learn so much from them, if only we stopped to take notice of the wave of positive change they are creating each day in small ways.

Thank you Tenille!

Mahendra Shah has over 30 years’ experience in emergency relief & rehabilitation to food security and sustainable development, he has worked all over our beautiful planet and is now the owner of Zen Resort in Bali.

Mahendra is someone you want to just sit back and listen to, and why wouldn’t you, when someone has so much wisdom to share. In the 80’s he participated in UN conferences in Geneva and was an integral part in the launch of emergency relief for the African famine. He has met people like Bob Geldof and George H. W. Bush. In the 90’s he prepared the Earth Summit summary report and in 2002 he presented a report on climate change and agricultural vulnerability at the Earth Summit held in Johannesburg.

Our brief chat is loaded with wisdom, Mahendra shares so many insights including;

How an epiphany on a beach in Bali 35 years ago changed the way he saw sustainability and why it’s important that we all become “sustainable human beings”
The importance of asking ourselves “Am I living a happy, healthy and joyful life? “
How a simple morning routine of ‘Zen Chi’ can set you up for an amazing day.
The five ingredients that make up life’s cocktail.
The importance of collecting the knowledge of our Grandmothers before it’s too late.
How mobilising traditional knowledge built over 5000 years can help us ALL experience a healthier existence.
A beautiful tool to let go of those who have hurt you and bless those who have helped you.
Advice on how to find more balance in life.

This episode really got me thinking, and I’ll need to listen to it more than once to truly capture Mahindra’s wisdom. It left me curious as to whether the simple banana leaf could hold the key to saving our planet?
