  • Brings me back to what I care about.

    Ya know when you get caught up in life stuff and you slightly (or a-lot-ly) forgot yourself and what values you want to keep centring? Catie’s intention, her voice, the questions she crafts (she always asked the questions I’m hoping she’ll ask next!) and her guests bring me back home. Very grateful.

  • A wonderful ray of light

    I can’t recommend Reskillience highly enough. Catie has such a beautiful way with words and with questing for answers. The quality and variety of guests means I learn something every episode and often walk away with a new perspective that percolates for weeks. A strong permie focus but in a very approachable way.

  • Affirming, Uplifting, and Utterly Human

    Reskillience was recommended by a friend and has quickly become my favourite heart-warming and head-sparking podcast. Listening has gently affirmed my values and given me a nurturing nudge into action. I’m yet to meet an episode I haven’t loved. The guests are ordinary, relatable people doing things that feel entirely remarkable to me, and the conversations are sprinkled with unscripted pearls of wisdom that have me nodding along and taking notes. You never quite know what to expect at the start... more

How to practice hybrid permaculture (and worry less about the news) with Ian Lillington & Marita Zeh
Q: What inspired you to pursue a life of permaculture and build a straw bale house?
They describe a long, iterative process rooted in early housing struggles, followed by intentional moves to land and a design focusing on energy efficiency, community proximity, and sustainable living—driven by a desire for security, self-reliance, and a place they can call home.
Prioritise Spiritual Prepping with Emily Coats
Q: What gives you the determination to live with such devotion and depth, given the risks and uncertainties you discuss?
Emily explains that personal experiences with love, loss, and profound shifts—especially the death of her father—catalyze a commitment to living fully in alignment with inner calls, prioritizing spiritual and relational resilience over mere material or conventional measures of success.
Prioritise Spiritual Prepping with Emily Coats
Q: What are some of the nature connection practices that you're engaging with and supporting people to be involved with?
Emily describes Earth Time and other nature-connection practices that emphasize direct engagement with place, learning through ancestral skills, and forming deep relationships with land, plants, and creatures as a path to wholeness and resilience.
Can you be collapse aware and still want kids? w/ Jem Bendell
Q: Are you able to say a little bit more about how being really honest with ourselves and staring collapse in the face can be a springboard rather than a doom spiral?
Being honest reveals the fragility of our systems and shifts the focus from false hope to practical actions that nurture life and strengthen community, which can empower people to act with integrity and courage rather than succumb to denial.
