REV On Air: Becoming a Regenerative Human and Supporting Indigenous Voices with Nat Kelley

Today our guest is  the amazing Nathalie Kelley, Hollywood actress, regenerative and indigenous activist, and Kiss the Ground board member. I can’t wait to bring this conversation to you but first I want to say a heartfelt thank you to Red Mint for making today’s podcast possible. Nat was born in Peru and raised in Australia by her Indigenous mother and grandmother. After working with street children in São Paulo, Brazil and Aborginal inner-city youth in Redfern, Australia, she began her degree in Social Science and Policy at the University of UNSW. Not long after, she started to work as an actress in film and television in the US, with notable roles in shows like Unreal, Dynasty and most recently as the star of ABC’s The Baker and the Beauty. Despite this change she remained inwardly mindful of her privilege and responsibility to her Indigenous heritage and people. After the 2019 fires in the Amazon and Australia, Nathalie experienced a shift in consciousness that led her to drastically change not just her lifestyle, but the way she engaged with social media. She worked to become an advocate for Indigenous peoples, regenerative agriculture, the soil and the undervalued but invaluable role of fungi in our ecosystem. Nathalie is now committed to using her storytelling skills to be a voice for the voiceless — creating narratives of hope around the power of nature to regenerate and heal and the integral part humans have to play in this process. Nathalie is on the board of Kiss the Ground and the Fungi Foundation.. She works in deep devotion and service to the entire web of life, advocating in particular for the health of our soil, water, the fungí and forests. Her mission is the preservation of biodiversity, including cultural and myco-diversity on the planet. This is a beautiful conversation full of lots of insights on indigenous wisdom, the resilience and strength of nature, and ultimately our role in supporting both of these things.  Follow Nat here: https://www.instagram.com/natkelley/ Learn more about Red Mint below!  Redmint weaves together the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern innovations to create powerful health rituals that form well rounded selfcare routines.
