In today’s episode, I’m joined by Steffie Broer, who is the founding director of Brighter Green Futures, who build communities where people can truly thrive and live in harmony with the planet.

Having built her first eco-home when she was just 26, as a single mother with her baby boy, as part of the Yard in Bristol, Steffie has gone from strength to strength using her knowledge and expertise to create Brighter Green Futures and its flagship site Water Lilies. Which will be home to 33 families, putting people and community at the heart of everything in this exciting eco-development.

In this wide-ranging interview, Steffie shares how others can do the same and create their own sustainable home with like-minded individuals. From how to acquire land and get the process started, forging powerful relationships with others, reducing your cost of living while enhancing your health and wellbeing and how raising kids in a peaceful empowered environment sets them up for a wholesome life.

This podcast is for anyone who’s passionate I am about getting back to our roots and living in harmony with people and nature.

Ep 73: Steffie Broer on building and living in an eco-community

In this episode, I share what this new podcast is all about. 

Every couple of weeks I'll be sharing people's inspiring and uplifting stories from around the world. I believe there's so much good happening right now on the planet, which isn't getting nearly enough attention it deserves – I hope by sharing these people's stories it'll help inspire listeners to go out there and show more of what they are made of and do their own bit of good in the world.

I've got interviews lined up with a woman who is running a homeless organisation, an inspiring owner of a green energy company, a healthy food start-up entrepreneur, as well as the editor of a really uplifting magazine.

Each episode I'll be sitting down with them over a brew and delving into what makes them tick, the journey they've gone on and share plenty of nuggets of wisdom along the way.

Ep 1: Be The Change

Supposed is a dangerous word. Too many of us see what has gone before, what already exists and aspire to emulate it, believing success is achieving that goal. 

Rob Watson, one half of Raw design studio shares his story of beginning and growing his agency before realising he was far away from the creativity he cherished. So he downsized and lead with quality work, wellbeing and focusing on what felt right for him and Ruth Watson, the two who now comprise the core of Raw studio.

In today's digital world, the old models can be destructive and we get deep into size and why it matters.
