S2 Ep 323Gina Gardiner & Friends with Sylvie Barr
Sylvie Barr, the founder of Holisto®. Originally from France, I’ve spent half of my life in the UK. I’m married to a Scot (I love Scotland!) and we have a wonderful 19 year-old daughter, Felicity. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been on a quest - wondering what I’m truly meant to do. As a teenager, I dreamed of becoming an English teacher. But when I was advised against it, I was left thinking, what now? I ended up studying business, nearly went into finance, and eventually landed in marketing and branding, working in senior roles across various companies. While I enjoyed many aspects of my career, I always felt there was something more - a deeper way to make a difference. A Turning Point Becoming a mother was life-changing. Raising a child with learning difficulties taught me patience, resilience, and the importance of seeing people for who they truly are - focusing on their strengths, not their struggles. Then came a major turning point: burnout. After years in the corporate world, I knew I needed a change. So, in 2019, I launched Holisto®, initially helping small businesses build authentic brands. It was fulfilling work, allowing me to connect with people, hear their unique stories, and uncover what made them THEM. Yet, something was still missing. The Missing Piece Looking back, the answer had been with me all along. I’ve always been drawn to guiding young people - helping them navigate their path and make choices that align with who they truly are. That’s when it clicked: I am here to help young adults discover their natural strengths and step onto a career path that is right for them. No more following someone else’s expectations. No more feeling lost, stuck, or unsure about the future. No more wasted time, energy, or money on a path that doesn’t excite you. With the Holisto® method, I help young adults break free from confusion and step confidently into a career that feels fulfilling, meaningful, and that is theirs. Why I Do This People often say, “You are not your ideal client.” And while that’s true - everyone’s journey is unique - there’s something powerful about working with someone who’s been there. I know what it’s like to feel uncertain about the future. I know what it’s like to take a winding road to find what truly lights you up. And now, I want to help you get there sooner, with clarity and confidence. If you’re unsure of which path to take, I’ve got YOU. I’d love to walk alongside you on this journey of self-discovery - helping you uncover what excites you, what makes you feel alive, and how to turn that into a fulfilling career and life. I cannot wait to get to know YOU. Website: https://www.holisto.uk

S2 Ep 303Gina Gardiner & Friends with Haseena Patel
Meet Haseena Haseena Patel is South African by birth, a global citizen at heart, and a Truth-Walker through personal evolution. A benign fibroadenoma in her breast was the impetus for the birth of her book, The Truth-Walker’s Journey: The UN-Becoming of Who You Are Not. As a conscious entrepreneur, healing-edge coach, medical intuitive, Akashic Records reader and sound healer, Haseena’s bio-individualised modalities support healing to Peace in mind, body and spirit. Her most recent initiative, Healing-edge Conversations, launched in 2025, supports collective healing to Peace. Being deeply influenced by growing up non-white in Apartheid South Africa, she has felt called to empower girls and young women worldwide through heart-centered leadership programs – together with her sister, Haseena co-founded their non-profit, Leave No Girl Behind International. She is co-creator of the Bubbles Beyond Borders global campaign to inspire peace through female empowerment. Haseena is part of The Hague Center for Global Governance, Innovation and Emergence, speaking, facilitating, and contributing to events such as World Unity Week, Peace Week, Bridging Continents weekly calls, Humanity’s Team Global Oneness Summit, Living Cities Earth Future Leaders Project, and other projects that contribute to a unitive way of collective BE-ing. She is also a certified Deeptime leader and poet. I grew up non-white in Apartheid South Africa. I was raised Muslim and I attended a Catholic school run by a group of Dominican Sisters. It was the only private school in our town and definitely the only multiracial school. It was here that I learned what respect, ONE-ness and Love truly meant – the nuns embodied this. When I was in Grade 1, our teacher, Sr. Maureen, would start the day with a prayer, asking which student wanted to share a prayer. One morning, an eager classmate raised her hand. Like me, she was Indian South African. She was Hindu. When she asked if she could pray in her own religion, Sr. Maureen taught us true inclusivity as she replied, “Yes, of course. Let’s all bow our heads and close our eyes.” Then came the time when uncomfortable and hurtful words were spoken by a student: “Non-Christians go to hell.” Two of my Christian classmates, burning with feelings of the injustice that was being inflicted on their non-Christian school mates, reported the student to the nun who was the junior school principal. She didn’t sweep it under the rug. She continued to create a space of Love and righted the wrong. We sang many hymns and songs – the one that spoke volumes was called, When I needed a neighbour. The lyrics of the last verse read: “When you need a neighbor, I’ll be there, I’ll be there, when you need a neighbor I’ll be there. And the creed and the color and the name won’t matter, when you need a neighbor I’ll be there.” Website: https://haseenapatel.com

Judy Henderson is the author of WHEN THE LIGHT FINDS US, a searing memoir about her 36-year journey from a wrongful murder conviction to freedom and redemption.

Today, Henderson continues her advocacy beyond prison walls, speaking on panels, giving media interviews, and meeting with legislators to provide insights only possible from her firsthand experience. She volunteers with groups supporting former inmates' reentry to society and works at Catholic Charities. Though she lost decades of precious time, Henderson maintains a powerful spirit and demonstrates daily that no matter how broken the system, one courageous voice can still ignite reform. She lives in Missouri, surrounded by the loving family who never lost faith in her innocence. --- Her new book (THE FOUNDERS) is out now! jimmysoni.com

S2 Ep 284Gina Gardiner & Friends with Foster Greatness
Foster Greatness challenges the conventional foster care social services model by empowering young people to take charge of their own lives, instead of imposing limiting definitions of success. We believe the traditional benchmarks of success—securing any job, being part of the 3% of foster youth who graduate college, and avoiding homelessness, incarceration, or early parenthood—are unacceptably low. Our platform, designed by and for young people with foster care experience, aims to redefine relationships and broaden life experiences. Foster Greatness has implemented a relationship-centered, technology-driven, and data-informed approach, enabling young people to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to build fulfilling lives. Our efforts are cultivating a new generation of professionals skilled in trust-based relationship principles and trauma-informed practices. These individuals are redefining social services and case management standards, empowering those affected by foster care to create a brighter future for themselves and generations to come.
