To kick off Season 2 we spoke to Charlotte Lewis about her latest project Body Breathe Voice where she's helping people to channel the power of their body and their breathe to say the things they want to say. She's passionate about people having a voice and has learned over the years how to find hers through her experience as a theatre director, yoga teacher and cold water swimmer! We talked about her past living under the stairs, her top tips on talking to men who approach you in bars and her journey as a runner struggling to run. Go check out everything she's doing in our episode notes.

This week we met up with Abbi Mason for an early morning chat up at Summit Good. Abbi runs Big Meadow CSA from llangennith on Gower. It's just over a 60 box CSA and still increasing whilst only in their second year of growing! They've been gifted to be growing on their organically certified soil by the sea and we spent some time talking about the popular quandary of getting your hands on land! We were super grateful for this one as it's peak season for growers right now and Abbi is busy with exciting new ideas alongside the growing! We spoke about the different areas of Big Meadow from growing food to supply their members to growing food to inspire and educate young people. Abbi's absolutely bossing it with Big Meadow and we are so excited to see it evolve over the next few years. Keep up the good work Abbi!

This week we sit down to talk with Karen Chalk who coordinates the brilliant, innovative and sensational organisation Circus Eruption. Circus Eruption turn 30 this year and to mark it have managed to finally purchase their own space in Swansea, a run down old church full of spaces and potential for their inclusive, community focussed strategy. Circus Eruption has had such a phenomenal impact on individuals who have attended over the years, establishing itself as one of Swansea's proudest success stories. During the covid restrictions of 2020 we collaborated with them to erect a giant circus tent at the Summit Good field in order for them to run their activities outside through the end of summer. This month we catch up with Karen, hear about their new building and spend time to understand why Circus eruptions vision and values have held them through tough years and bread a beautiful resilience in their culture that influences all aspects of their organisation.

This week we spoke to Jack, the founder of Farm Co. - an online farmers market looking to make moves in Wales to promote and enhance local produce and the individuals behind the food products. We talk about starting a new business after being made redundant and juggling being a new dad to 2 new kids! Jack talks to us about Farm Co. HQ and the thinking behind not doing a delivery service but pushing to create small community focussed collection hubs to increase the social impact of local produce.

This month we visited Niaomh Convery, co-founder of the shared plate and all round powerhouse legend to talk women in hospitality, their new food truck venture and getting a good work-life balance!

This month we talk to John and Aoife from Good For You Ferments, a local ferment business with a passion for gut health and making the world a better place! These guys grow cabbage at our site where they have also converted a shipping container into a purpose built fermenting kitchen.

This month we talk to Mel from The Bloom Room about starting her floristry business up in a pandemic...IN A SHIPPING CONTAINER!
