Are you ready to co-create a new exciting Paradigm for a world where people, planet and profit collectively thrive? A regenerative world where Nature, Eco-systems, People, Creativity and Business flourish? Then welcome to the kick-start of the Cracks of Light Podcast series with your host Laura Storm.

Laura breaks down her views on the root cause of our current broken systems and structures, why we need a radical paradigm shift and what some of the key ingredients are in a new thriving paradigm. She addresses the need for the sustainability movement to reinvent itself, the importance of our connection with nature, why we must re-design for regeneration, learn to slow down, make head space for creativity and create balance between masculine and feminine qualities.

She's also advocating for the need to let go of our desire to fit in - as a new thriving paradigm will never succeed if we play by the rulebook of the current status quo. We need to put forward the positive, and inspiring ideas and people. The trailblazers. The Cracks of Light.

 

WHAT WE WILL COVER:

  • Why we need a paradigm shift and an open discussion on what a new thriving paradigm entails 
  • Laura's personal journey as a young leader in the field of sustainable development – and what has led her to focus on the inspiring, positive solutions and ideas
  • What the sustainability movement needs to succeed and reinvent itself
  • Why we need a holistic approach to solving the current challenges in our world - and why that has to include a strong inner connection 
  • The importance of leaders learning to tap into a greater magnificent potential we all have inside of us if we dare to slow down and listen instead of losing ourselves in a high-paced hectic lifestyle
  • The healing powers of nature and how it increases productivity and well-being
  • How the medieval witch hunts and oppression of women and nature has led to our current hyper-masculine society
  • How a traumatic brain injury changed Laura's perception on where we need to focus to transform and create sustainable societies.

 

SELECTED QUOTES FROM LAURA'S EPISODE:

"We need to start a discussion where we have permission to talk about how we feel and realize that we can never succeed building thriving, vibrant, sustainable societies if the people that are leading the efforts are in a constant state of stress.  If we are to create a regenerative society – we need to create a regenerative lifestyle. They go hand in hand" 
"The sustainability movement has been way too focused on the technologies, the solutions, the political agreements, the financial schemes etc. And, although they are INCREDIBLY important, we have forgotten that this is also an emotional issue. It's about how we feel and are on this planet. "
