The Natural Rebel: Reclaiming Feminine Wisdom in Sustainability Work with Dani Baker

Dani is a sustainability advocate and founder of Natural Rebel. With 15+ years in the field, she brings heart and depth to conversations about our connection to the planet and ourselves. Her work creates space for reflection, emotional healing, and community through mindfulness and women’s circles. Dani’s mission is to help people trust their inner voice and build a more authentic, sustainable world together. In this soulful conversation, she shares the challenges of mainstreaming sustainability, why burnout is a growing issue, and how embracing feminine values like pause, connection, and trust could reshape how we lead and work for change. In this episode, I talk with Dani Baker about: * What 15+ years in sustainable business have taught her about collaboration, burnout, and balance * Why mainstream sustainability risks losing its soul—and how we can bring it back * How her Natural Rebel women’s circles are creating space for deeper connection, purpose, and intuition * The power of pausing, storytelling, and embracing “failure” as part of real change * How feminine energy, not hustle culture, might just be what sustainability needs most 🔊 “The women’s circles aren’t just helping individuals—they’re shifting workplace cultures.” - Dani Baker 💬 Dani will join us this week in the Subscriber chat.
