  • Cultivating Inner Balance Through Daoist Practice: Paul Fraser On Qigong, Alignment, And Restoring Harmony In Uncertain Times
    Mar 26 2026

    In this episode of Regenerative Mindset, Paul Fraser returns to the conversation to explore how Daoist philosophy and embodied practice can support greater stability, clarity, and resilience in times of uncertainty.

    Drawing from decades of study in Chinese medicine, Qigong, and internal martial arts, Paul shares how ancient teachings such as the Dao De Jing and the I Ching offer practical guidance for modern life. Rather than approaching well-being as something external to fix or control, he emphasizes the importance of internal cultivation, working with breath, posture, and awareness to restore the natural flow of qi and bring the body back into coherence.

    Throughout the conversation, Paul speaks to the relationship between physical alignment and emotional steadiness, offering insight into how small, consistent practices can shift the way we respond to stress, conflict, and the unpredictability of daily life. He also reflects on the broader impact of personal energy and how the state we cultivate within ourselves subtly influences the environments and communities we are part of.

    This episode offers a grounded and accessible entry point into Daoist wisdom, inviting listeners to consider how aligning with natural rhythms can create a deeper sense of balance both internally and externally.

  • Balance Begins With Sovereignty: Dené Logan on Healing Our Relationships Through Integrating the Masculine and Feminine Within
    Mar 12 2026

    On this episode of Regenerative Mindset, Stacy Pulice sits down with Dené Logan, author, therapist, and relationship coach, to explore how healing our relationships begins with reclaiming the relationship we hold with ourselves, especially our younger self.

    Drawing from her work with clients, and the ideas explored in her book Sovereign Love: A Guide to Healing Relationships by Reclaiming the Masculine and Feminine Within, Dené invites us to reconsider the inherited narratives that shape how we love, lead, and define success. She reframes masculinity and femininity not as rigid gender roles, but as inner energies that each of us carries, and that must be both witnessed and integrated in order to experience wholeness, intimacy, and authentic connection.

    Throughout the conversation, Dené explores themes of self-abandonment, relational polarity, cultural conditioning, and the pressure many people feel to perform in their lives and partnerships. She also speaks to the quiet burnout that often exists beneath achievement and outward success, offering a perspective on healing that is less about fixing something broken and more about remembering, reclaiming, and restoring balance within.

    Together, Stacy and Dené explore what it means to move from performance into presence, and how sovereignty in our inner lives can ripple outward into more conscious and regenerative ways of relating.

    At its heart, this episode reminds us that regeneration is not only ecological or systemic, but deeply relational.

  • Reclaiming Place-Based Wisdom With Lo—TEK Design: Julia Watson On Integrating Indigenous Technology In Optimal Responses To Nature for a Regenerative Future
    Feb 26 2026

    It is my honor to welcome Julia Watson to this episode of Regenerative Mindset.

    Julia is a landscape designer, author, educator, and the founder of the Lo—TEK Institute and the Lo—TEK Office for Intercultural Urbanism. Her work challenges how we’ve been taught to think about progress, technology, and sustainability by centering Indigenous knowledge systems as living, adaptive technologies rooted in reciprocity and long-term care.

    As the author of the best-selling, award-winning Lo—TEK: Design by Radical Indigenism (TASCHEN, 2019) and the newly released Lo—TEK Water: A Field Guide for TEKnology (TASCHEN, 2025), Julia has helped pioneer a global movement reframing nature-based technologies as essential solutions to the planetary crisis.

    In this conversation, Julia invites us to slow down and reconsider what innovation truly means. Drawing from decades of collaboration with Indigenous communities around the world, she reframes technology not as tools built for speed or control, but as time-tested ecological systems grounded in relationship.

    Together, we explore the shift from dominance to kinship; Traditional Ecological Knowledge as a form of climate-resilient technology; what it means to design our cities through TEKnological Urbanism; why true regeneration begins with humility, reciprocity, and care; and how spirituality and science have always coexisted within Indigenous knowledge systems.

    Julia also speaks to the emotional landscape so many are navigating today, climate anxiety, burnout, and overwhelm, offering a grounded and hopeful perspective rooted in interdependence and shared responsibility.

    At its heart, this episode asks us to imagine a future shaped by care rather than control — and to remember that some of the most advanced solutions already exist, refined over thousands of years.
