Lisa Jara is a Menstrual Health Agent (of Change), a Womb Whisperer and Soul Midwife, helping women and menstruating folks to holistically address the deeper causes of menstrual health challenges like PMS/PMDD, painful periods, endometriosis, PCOS or perimenopausal challenges, so they no longer dread "that time of the month", but have a happy, healthy period, navigating challenging life transitions with unshakable trust in themselves and their body. She leads a Quiet, yet powerful Revolution for sacred rebels who are ready to radically trust and follow their own body's wisdom, releasing trauma and internalised shame, and eroding patriarchy from the inside out.
In her own words:
I’m Lisa from Germany and my pronouns are she/her. As a person I’m both a straight-forward, energetic powerhouse as much as a sensitive soul who enjoys holding space for people. Yet, I’ve also been conditioned, as a lot of people have, that the expert on me lies somewhere outside, that my perception of the world or situations is wrong and that I have to go looking for validation, approval and happiness “out there”, from someone else. Afraid to do anything wrong, I took on rule after rule, becoming more and more rigid, to the point where my life seemed like an endless chain of tasks, bleak and meaningless. A fight I had to struggle through day after day. Until I decided to get help, started my healing journey and got back in touch with my emotions, which I had suppressed for so many years. After this mental health crisis, I decided I didn’t want any other woman to feel that powerless and empty ever again and dedicated my life to guiding women back home to themselves, body, heart, mind and soul.

Today I have got the honor of talking to Dr. Mukesh Kapila about the Israel-Hamas war and the wider situation within the Middle East.
Dr Kapila has extensive experience in global and public health, international development, humanitarian affairs, conflict and security issues, human rights, diplomacy, and social entrepreneurship, with substantive leadership roles in government, United Nations system and multilateral agencies, International Red Cross and Red Crescent, civil society, and academia.
His work has taken him to some 120 countries in all continents. Originally schooled in India and England, Dr Kapila graduated in medicine from the University of Oxford and received postgraduate qualifications in public health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Since 2012, Dr Kapila has been the Professor (now Emeritus) of Global Health & Humanitarian Affairs at the University of Manchester, UK where he also founded and chaired the Manchester Global Foundation. Since 2020, he is also Senior Adviser to the Parliamentary Assembly for the Mediterranean, the principal forum for 29 national parliaments of the Euro-Mediterranean region deliberating on the creation of the best political, social, economic and cultural environment for fellow citizens of member states. He also serves as adviser on several international bodies including on the Strategic and Technical Advisory Group for Antimicrobial Resistance for the World Health Organization.
After an initial clinical career (1980-1984) in hospitals and general practice in Cambridge, and then in public health (1984-1990) including initiating and leading the first National UK HIV/AIDS Programme, Dr Kapila joined what is now called the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in 1990 where he oversaw British aid health programmes in Asia and Pacific, Latin America and Caribbean, followed by a spell based in Central and Southern Africa.
Dr Kapila was seconded by the UK Government to the United Nations in 2002-03 initially as Special Adviser to the UN Special Representative of the Secretary General in Afghanistan and then to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva. He then became the United Nations’ Resident and Humanitarian Co-ordinator for Sudan (2003-04) leading what was at the time, the UN’s biggest operation in the world. in 2004, he arrived at the headquarters of the World Health Organization in Geneva as Director for Emergency Response handling major operations such as for the Indian Ocean Tsunami.
In 2006, he joined the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the world’s largest humanitarian and development network serving in different roles such as Special Representative of the Secretary General, Director of Policy and Planning, and finally as Undersecretary General where he oversaw several transformations and strategic interventions to scale-up programming.
Dr Kapila has also served in many policy advisory roles, conducted strategic reviews and formulated new programmes with several other international agencies such as the World Bank, UNAIDS, International Labour Organization, UN OCHA and ISDR, as well as served on the Boards of the UN Institute for Training and Research, the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces, and the International Peace Academy. He was an early member of the UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination System.
He returned to the United Nations in 2015-2016 to serve as Special Adviser for the first-ever World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul, and then in 2018-2019 to found and direct the innovative Defeat-NCD Partnership at the UN.
Additionally, he has been active in several civil society groups including chairing the Council of Minority Rights Group International, and chairing the Board of Nonviolent Peaceforce that was nominated for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize. He has initiated new initiatives on sexual and gender based violence and, as Special Representative of the Aegis Trust, on the prevention of genocide and other crimes against humanity. These came out of his personal experiences in witnessing, at first hand, the genocidal atrocities in Rwanda, Srebrenica, and Darfur.
Dr Kapila has been a public motivational and keynote speaker at numerous events including at TedX, and delivered in Nairobi in 2013, the memorial lecture in honour of Nobel Prize winning environmental activist Wangari Maathai.
He has written extensively and served on editorial boards of several publications such as Global Governance and the International Journal of Humanitarian Studies. His memoir “Against a Tide of Evil” was nominated for the 2013 Best Non-Fiction Book award by the Crime Writers Association. His latest book (2019) is entitled “No Stranger to Kindness”. Some of his other writings can be accessed on his website.

Adrian Knight is an accomplished acquisition entrepreneur, adventurer, and endurance athlete.
Adrian buys and sells businesses for a living and has used his acquisition skills to build a multi-million children’s education group from the ground up in less than 3 years.
Adrian experienced a nervous breakdown at 19, which was shortly followed by alcoholism and other addictions. This led to almost a decade of him traveling the world in an attempt to run away from his inner demons. It was only when he started to be true to his authentic self and prioritized his personal development and well-being, that his life started to turn around.
This has led Adrian to experiencing fast business success while finding new aspects of himself, including that of an endurance athlete and adventurer. Subtraction of vices and going alcohol-free resulted in a true transformation.
In 2022, Adrian ran/cycled/kayaked across Scotland, then in March 23’ he participated in a multi-day endurance event in the Arctic Circle. In June 23’ he ran across Northern England and in November 23’ he is competing in the Spartan World Championships (in Sparta, Greece). In March 24’ Adrian is on a 14-day Jungle expedition across Panama.
3 Top Tips
1) Success is taking away the things that hold us back (like alcohol), rather than 'adding' new things
2) By prioristing you and your well-being above everything else, you inadvertently serve others
3) There are stages to going alcohol free, including pre-education, the lead-up, the first 30-days and beyond

Follower of Christ, Former Fortune 100 Executive, Recovering Alcoholic and Addict. The traumas of my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood shaped my belief systems of both myself and the world around me. I used my traumas to achieve success till my traumas used me to destroy my life and that of those I loved and served. Through a profound and reliable relationship with God, the deepest self-work, and the greatest act of self-love I have ever given myself, I have broken free from my self-imposed bondage and transformed into a free Phoenix. My purpose is to serve others in walking this path to redemption, liberation, and rebirth.
3 Top Tips
1. You can't give or receive love till you believe God loves you as you are.
2. Forgiveness = Freedom
3. You are the only problem in your life and the only solution to your problem.

The author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies Paul Zolman to speak about love? His childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning and the distaste it formed inside him, he searched for and eventually created a method that transformed his life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his preferred love style, only because of the regularity. He could almost count on it. It was consistent. He came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, he knew that was a twisted belief. He wanted a better life for himself, which is why he created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you’ll find what helped Paul Zolman move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love.
3 Top Tips
1. There's hope for breaking generational transfers that disrupt life.
2. There's good in you... and there's good in them... find them both by finding it in THEM.
3. Stop listening to the negative media and start watching for all that is good in the world. It's where you'll find happiness
