About Purpose: A journey into Sustainability & Why this Podcast exists

The Social Regeneration Podcast

A story about unlearning, awakening, and quitting
In this episode, I introduce myself as your host and share my journey of becoming a sustainability professional - and some of the reasons why this Podcast exists.

Before I start inviting guests, I want to create an intimate and brave space by "going first"—sharing my journey, my WHY, and how an eye-opening experience in Ecuador set me on the path to sustainability, leadership, and social transformation. I talk about the challenges of unlearning, deconstructing old perspectives, quitting,g and finding "my crowd" and path.

If you've ever felt lost, questioned the current system, or longed to find like-minded people, this episode is for you.
