Today’s divisive society and political climate have been changing the concept of diversity, equity, and inclusion or DEI. Instead of bringing people together regardless of social status, age, belief, or skin color, it is slowly becoming a cuss word used to demean and hurt. HR/DEI practitioner Natalie Norfus utilizes her years of problem-solving experience to address this pushback that currently hurts growth, accessibility, and opportunity in every workplace. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, she explains how DEI, despite not having a one-size-fits-all model, is crucial in dismantling the white supremacy culture. Natalie also discusses how the lack of a clear definition for DEI has led to its weaponization and how company leaders can commit to shutting down such advances.

Welcome, Regenerators! In this special bonus episode of Care More Be Better, we bring together Parts 9 and 10 of our Regeneration series inspired by Paul Hawken's groundbreaking book, Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation. Trimmed for your listening pleasure.
Part 9: Energy We dive deep into renewable energy—from solar and geothermal to wind and microgrids. We discuss the rise of electric vehicles, heat pumps, energy storage innovations, and the need to electrify everything. I even share my journey of switching banks away from JP Morgan Chase, which heavily funds fossil fuels, and what that kind of vote-with-your-wallet action means.
Part 10: Industry We take on the hard truths about Industry—Big Food, Healthcare, Plastics, Fashion, War, and more. We explore how extractive capitalism must be replaced with regenerative thinking and practice. Along the way, I weave in insights from prior podcast guests and offer honest, tangible actions we can each take.
Key Topics Covered:
Fossil fuel phaseout & the renewable revolutionElectric vehicles, energy efficiency & infrastructureSolar, geothermal, and microgrid innovationRegenerative agriculture's connection to healthThe politics and economics of extractive industriesFashion waste, plastics pollution, and clean tech solutionsCarbon offsets vs. carbon onsetsResources & Links:

A single cell of carbon contains trillions of molecules, and its role in connecting all life is immeasurable. American environmentalist Paul Hawken decided to study indigenous languages to further explore the beauty of the most versatile element on the planet that animates the entirety of the living world. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he talks about his book “Carbon: The Book of Life” and how it opened his eyes to the fact that regeneration is the singular key to humanity’s survival. He stresses the importance of embracing regenerative agricultural practices, nature-based solutions, and indigenous knowledge to ensure the planet’s longevity and sustainability. Paul also explains why he considers “we” as the most dangerous pronoun and how to rethink our daily choices in a world addicted to overconsumption.
About Guest:
Paul Hawken starts ecological businesses, writes about nature and commerce, and consults with heads of state and CEOs on climatic, economic and ecological regeneration. He has written nine books published in 30 languages including six national and New York Times bestsellers: Growing a Business, The Next Economy, The Ecology of Commerce, Blessed Unrest, Drawdown and Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis In One Generation. He is the founder of Project Drawdown, Regeneration.org, and just completed his latest work, Carbon: The Book of Life which is published by Penguin Random House. It was released on March 18, 2025.

Countless clothing items are produced every single day, and when they get worn out or destroyed, they simply pile up in landfills. Cynthia Power is raising awareness about circular economy to address this alarming problem, maximize the lifespan of products, and greatly minimize waste. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, she brings her knowledge as a circular programs expert to discuss how the fashion industry can ditch the Make-Use-Dispose Model and focus more on the sustainable repair economy. She explores how current technologies are being employed to level up resale programs and recycling processes. Cynthia also shares practical tips on how to be mindful of your consumption and start your own sustainable clothing.
About Guest:
Cynthia is a circular-programs expert with 17 years of experience. She previously managed EILEEN FISHER Renew for many years before working at a tech-resale startup. She now works independently across the circular supply chain to enable a circular economy, including building and scaling resale, reuse and recycling programs. Cynthia loves storytelling and building community, which she does with The Untangling Circularity Podcast and member cohorts.

In this BONUS episode, we're bringing you our coverage of chapters 4 and 5 of REGENERATION: Ending the Climate Crisis In One Generation by Paul Hawken. Since it was originally published in 2021, this consolidated content will prime you for our upcoming interview with Paul Hawken. If you have specific questions you'd like me to ask Paul, please send me an email note to: [email protected]
LAND: The topics covered range from Regenerative Agriculture to Composting and Vermiculture, Degraded Land Restoration and Returning Biodiversity. It's a hopeful chapter on everything we can do to change our current trajectory, reverse global warming, and return health to our soil, to our people, and our planet. We can draw down carbon - put it back where it belongs, and continue forward, creating a better future.
PEOPLE: With this chapter, we reveal and our role in solving the climate crisis, reversing global warming. We are asked to think about the role of colonialism in climate change, of its damaging effect on ecosystems as we knowingly or unknowingly eradicated the knowledge of generations who maintained forest farms and grasslands by pushing them off their homesteads. It’s a call to action for all of us. We are one, and it’s time we start acting like it.

In this episode of Care More Be Better, we compile our prior coverage of the first three chapters of Paul Hawken’s Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation. Focused on Oceans, Forests, and Wilding, in one refined episode. These chapters highlight how we can restore Earth’s ecosystems and regenerate Earth through vital ecosystems.
🌊 Oceans – The blue heart of our planet absorbs vast amounts of carbon, but pollution, overfishing, and acidification are pushing marine ecosystems to their limits. We discuss solutions like marine protected areas, regenerative ocean farming, and the power of kelp in carbon sequestration.
🌳 Forests – Our planet’s lungs are in crisis due to deforestation and degradation. Paul Hawken presents a vision for reforestation, agroforestry, and indigenous land stewardship as powerful tools to reverse climate damage. We break down key case studies and actionable insights from this chapter.
🦋 Wilding – Nature thrives when given the space to heal. Rewilding efforts, from Europe’s expansive wildlife corridors to North America’s prairie restoration projects, show us how restoring biodiversity can enhance climate resilience. We explore success stories and how individuals and communities can get involved.
🌎 Why This Matters:
Regeneration isn’t just a concept—it’s a movement. These chapters remind us that nature holds the solutions we need, and it’s up to us to work with it. Whether it’s through ocean conservation, forest restoration, or rewilding landscapes, everyone has a role to play in healing our planet.

White people and people of color learn and grow in different ways due to their vastly different cultural and economic backgrounds. Therefore, leaders should know how to properly integrate antiracism approaches into their teams to ensure every member has equal opportunities to grow and thrive. In this episode, Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Janae Peters, co-creator of the Antiracist Development Group for managers of color. Janae explains how leaders can find the right affinity spaces where they can experience personal growth and fully understand intersectionalities affecting their decision-making processes. She also discusses how to avoid burnout when advocating for work equity, which is now in jeopardy with the DEI conversation being caught in a political firestorm.
About Guest:
Janae Peters is an educator, high school administrator, and social worker, and brings all these lenses to her consulting work with Think Again Training & Consulting. Janae co-created the Antiracist Development Group for managers of color. Using frameworks that address the unique challenges of managers of color, this eight-week, small-group program provides space for learning, reflection, peer support, and action to explore how systemic oppression shapes leadership and develop strategies to disrupt patterns that uphold inequity.

DEI programs are being shut down left and right, and the toxic culture of white supremacy is becoming more rampant. This has led to more and more people making white privilege a norm in their own workplace cultures. Davey Shlasko, founder of Think Again Training, leads the revolution in shaping inclusive, diverse, and anti-racist leaders. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he shares how to build the right leadership that addresses bias, discrimination, perfectionism, and an unfair focus on hierarchy. He also discusses how the worsening perspectives on DEI adversely impact the state of economy, minimum wage, business hiring practices, and a person’s choice of pronouns.
About Guest:
Davey is the founder and director of Think Again Training & Consulting, a collaborative consulting practice that supports organizations to integrate equity, inclusion and social justice into their long-term planning and everyday practices. Davey co-created the Antiracist Development Group for white managers, an 8-week cohort program based in frameworks of intersectional social justice and challenging white supremacy culture that prepares white people in leadership roles to bring antiracist practices into their management, supervision, planning and everything about their leadership.

President Trump has just started his second term, and a lot of things have been changing – but sadly, not for the better. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is one of the most adversely impacted subjects, making discrimination, stereotyping, and inequality much more rampant. In this episode, Corinna Bellizzi is joined by DEI coach and consultant Rachel Siegel to discuss how to overcome the United States’ current crisis with systemic racism, classicism, and authoritarianism. They explain why DEI should never lead to social division but bring people together in peace and harmony. Rachel also explains how to be more critical when consuming different kinds of media and how to cultivate the right mindset to stop yourself from following leaders blindly.
