How does women’s leadership change the climate conversation? In this powerful episode, Barry sits down with trailblazers Pat Mitchell and Ronda Carnegie, co-founders of Project Dandelion, to explore why women-led movements are at the heart of global climate justice. From the symbolism of the dandelion to the urgent need for hope over fear, Pat and Ronda share the real stories, strategies, and practical actions that mobilize millions—and how everyone, not just women, can play a part. 

We learn how storytelling and collective action can break through paralysis, why funding women-led solutions is critical, and how regenerative agriculture, indigenous wisdom, and daily choices shape our planet’s future. Plus, hear how Rancho La Puerta’s long-standing commitment to sustainability serves as a model for communities everywhere.
