    The Right to Roam: Wildlife Corridors, Public Lands &amp; Ecological Regeneration with Hillary Rosner

    Human progress may be beneficial to human society, but it is usually achieved at the cost of the lives of other species. Corinna Bellizzi explores how we interrupt the movement and migration of wild animals with Hillary Rosner, a science journalist, editor, and author. Together, they discuss how human-made fences and borders, the privatization of land, and the displacement of indigenous stewardship hinder countless animals from moving freely from one place to another, leading to their dwindling population. Hillary also explains what it takes to create large-scale solutions to solve this ecological problem, and why it all starts with shifting our consciousness to see the world from an animal’s perspective.

    How Not to Age: Dr. Michael Greger on Longevity, Protein Myths, and Plant-Based Health

    (Originally recorded July 28, 2024 for another podcast Corinna once hosted, Nutrition Without Compromise — shared with permission.)

    Aging is often framed as inevitable decline. But what if much of what we call “aging” is actually preventable disease accumulation?

    In this essential re-release episode, Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Michael Greger, physician, internationally recognized speaker, and founder of NutritionFacts.org.

    Dr. Greger’s latest book, How Not to Age, builds on the groundbreaking work of How Not to Die and How Not to Diet — translating peer-reviewed science into practical guidance for living longer and healthier.

    In this conversation, we explore:

    • The difference between lifespan and healthspan

    • Why excess protein may accelerate aging pathways

    • The myth of “incomplete” plant proteins

    • Fish consumption, pollution, and algae-based Omega-3 alternatives

    • Autophagy, spermidine, and cellular repair

    • The role of vitamin B12, vitamin D, and DHA

    • The promise of lifestyle medicine in addressing Alzheimer’s and chronic disease

    This episode launches a curated Care More Be Better re-share series highlighting foundational health conversations that remain deeply relevant today.

    Sex Trafficking Hidden in Plain Sight: Stories, Systems, and How to Take Action

    Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of sex trafficking, sexual exploitation, and abuse.

    Sex trafficking does not only happen “somewhere else.” It thrives in silence, misunderstanding, and systems that fail to protect vulnerable youth.

    In this re-released episode of Care More Be Better, Corinna Bellizzi speaks with Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Melody C. Miller about her documentary California’s Forgotten Children and the real-world impact it has had in schools, communities, and institutions across the United States.

    Melody began this work as a teenager, believing trafficking was a distant issue, only to discover that students from her own high school were being exploited. That realization led her to volunteer with survivor-led organizations, undergo trauma-informed training, and ultimately spend five years creating a film that centers survivor voices and equips communities with tools for prevention and response.

    This conversation is also deeply personal. Corinna shares her own experience of running away at thirteen and the vulnerability that follows when young people are left without safety, support, or options. Together, she and Melody unpack what sex trafficking actually looks like, how grooming and coercion operate, and why language, awareness, and informed action matter.

    Rather than focusing on perpetrators or sensational stories, this episode centers:

    • Survivor-led insight
    <li>Community-based prevention</li> <li>Trauma-informed response</li> <li>Practical guidance for recognizing and reporting exploitation</li>

    Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of how trafficking hides in plain sight—and how ordinary people can help interrupt it without putting themselves or others at risk.

    What We Cover in This Episode

    • How Melody discovered trafficking within her own community
    <li>Why sex trafficking is often misunderstood and misidentified</li> <li>The importance of survivor-centered language and reporting</li> <li>How schools and communities can safely intervene</li> <li>Real outcomes from film screenings, including victims coming forward</li> <li>Trauma-informed approaches in policing and education</li> <li>What each of us can do to help protect vulnerable youth</li>

    If this episode feels heavy, you’re not alone. Support resources are included below, and listeners are encouraged to engage at their own pace.

    Eliminating Cancel Culture in Climate with Jenny Morgan

    Every single person in the human race wants to build a better world and a brighter future for the next generation. But why is the climate discourse constantly diminished by cancel culture? Corinna Bellizzi explores this distressing social issue with climate strategist and advocate for sustainable change, Jenny Morgan. Delving into her book, Cancel Culture in Climate, Jenny discusses what it takes to get rid of the perfectionism and purist mindset that puts the entire climate movement to a halt. She explains how to participate in hopeful climate conversations that simplify the overwhelming climate problem, the importance of transparency and clarity in corporate social responsibility, and how to make the younger generation more climate and environmentally sensitive.

    Minneapolis Under ICE: A Letter on Life, Fear, and Resistance

    This episode of Care More Be Better is intentionally different.

    Rather than analysis or debate, host Corinna Bellizzi shares the direct audio of comedian and actor Matt Braunger reading a letter written by his cousin — a father, neighbor, and resident of the Twin Cities — who felt compelled to document what daily life has become like amid intensified federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis–St. Paul.

    The letter is not a political essay. It’s a witness account — grounded in everyday details like children’s activities, neighborhood text threads, and community members stepping into unexpected roles of care and resistance. Through this deeply human lens, the episode explores how large political forces manifest quietly inside ordinary life.

    After the audio, Corinna reflects on what it means to bear witness without panic, how media fragmentation and algorithm-driven news shape public understanding, and why democracy depends not only on elections, but on relationships, mutual care, and informed attention.

    Listeners are invited to reflect on their own communities, examine where they get their information, and consider small but meaningful ways to stay engaged, connected, and informed — before fear becomes routine.

    In This Episode:

      • A full, uninterrupted reading of a first-person letter from Minneapolis
      • Reflections on ordinary life, community resilience, and civic responsibility
      • A discussion on media literacy, confirmation bias, and staying informed beyond headlines
      • Practical suggestions for thoughtful engagement without overwhelm

    Content Note:

    This episode includes descriptions of fear, surveillance, immigration enforcement, and strong

    Designing For Humanity: Regenerative Architecture In The Age Of AI With Kevin Kennon

    Cities are often built as uncomfortable concrete jungles completely disconnected from nature, and most of them rapidly deplete in just a few years.

    Why the World Is Moving in Different Climate Directions and What Regenerative Leadership Looks Like Now

    A Care More Be Better Solocast with Corinna Bellizzi

    In this solocast, Corinna Bellizzi zooms out from the headlines to examine a deeper and more unsettling reality: the world is not moving together on climate action. Instead, nations are choosing very different paths — shaped by energy dependence, political cycles, economic pressures, and fear-driven narratives.

    Building on last week’s episode, The Global Crossroads of Climate Policy, this conversation explores why global climate leadership is diverging, how policy instability and “climate whiplash” undermine progress, and why regenerative leadership offers a credible path forward amid uncertainty.

    Rather than focusing on doom or delay, this episode reframes divergence as a signal — one that reveals where systems are breaking down, where new models are emerging, and where leadership rooted in care, systems thinking, and long-term resilience is quietly reshaping the future.

    In This Episode, You’ll Explore:

    • Why a unified global climate response was always more myth than reality

    • How energy dependence and political cycles drive divergent climate paths

    • What “climate whiplash” is — and why instability may be as dangerous as inaction

    • Why regenerative approaches change the climate conversation entirely

    • Where regenerative leadership is already emerging beyond national politics

    • What systems literacy, moral courage, and place-based wisdom look like in practice

    • How to stay grounded and hopeful in a world moving in many directions at once
