Uncommon Courage

Andrea T Edwards

Welcome to Uncommon Courage, the podcast, where we’ll be having the conversations we need to be having as members of the human collective. We are all being called upon to step up and lead – with kindness, big hearts and unshakable courage – because right now, we have an opportunity to redress what we got wrong in the past, as well as deal with the disruptions we face today, to create a better world for all.However, if we are completely truthful, the biggest challenge we face is believing we can do

The Know Show – the woke mind virus

Uncommon Courage ·

2024/10/19

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, woke, wokeism or ‘the woke mind virus’ are now part of our public vernacular. But where did it come from? How did this awful word or phrase become so normalized in our societies? Equally, is woke a bad thing? And surely it’s not a mind virus? To hear the word woke, all you have to do is watch any political campaign (anywhere in the world) and you’ll hear woke used as a blanket term to criticize anything progressive. That includes racism, women’s ri...

2024/09/27

As the world starts to comprehend the impacts of the polycrisis – which is the simultaneous occurrence of several catastrophic events all happening at the same time – we must get focused on building our resilience “muscles,” while also understanding we need to be there for each other, because it is our local communities who will step up when the going gets tough. As the floods, fires, droughts, famine, storms, sea level rise, and other disasters keep showing us, none of us are safe in th...

The Know Show – adaptation and regeneration required

Uncommon Courage ·

2024/09/20

Epic floods have wreaked havoc from Africa to Asia to Europe, claiming more than 1,500 lives and costing US$15 billion, and this all happened in September. As one meme put it this week, we are not experiencing the flood of the century, we are experiencing a century of floods. Beyond floods, we’ve had mega fires on the West Coast of the USA and now Portugal is facing the flames. Dams are collapsing, homes, farms and businesses destroyed, crops lost, millions displaced, with dangerous zoo anima...

Climate Courage: getting to a state of acceptance

Uncommon Courage ·

2024/09/13

Being in a state of acceptance about the climate crisis is not an easy path to tread, but it is a necessary part of the journey – for the sake of our own mental health. No question it’s challenging as the news is increasingly grim – from the loss of the Great Barrier Reef to sharks leaving their coral homes which impacts wider ecosystem health in our oceans, to the amount of CO2 spewing into our atmosphere from the mega fires that are wreaking havoc across the world. We have extreme floods, e...

Climate Courage: the role of religion and spirituality

Uncommon Courage ·

2024/06/21

The role of religion and spiritual organisations in tackling the climate emergency is a huge opportunity for collective action, and we are seeing leaders of many religious institutions – including the Pope, and the Imams – speaking to their followers on the critical transformation required to live in balance with nature. But is the message landing? And are we understanding our role in this, as individuals and as members of the human collective, regardless of our faith?We have a power packed s...

The Know Show – the show must go on

Uncommon Courage ·

2024/05/31

If you’re a fan of Queen, “The Show Must Go On” will be meaningful, as it’s connected to the end of Freddie Mercury’s life. But we’re using it in a different context. All over the world, we are seeing reports of excess deaths, something we really came to understand during the Covid pandemic. However, today, excess deaths are coming from extreme heat, extreme weather events, pollution, as well as rising cancers and other impacts in younger people, to name a few. On the other side, there are mi...

2024/05/27

Welcome back to Climate Courage, and I’m absolutely delighted to share that Dr. David Ko and Richard Busellato will be joining as co-hosts, as we build on the core focus of the show – to discuss the issues across the full spectrum of the polycrisis, while keeping it in everyday language, so we can all better understand the challenges and what we can do about it. This is our first show together as co-hosts, and we are going to discuss why we speak up (and the answers might surprise you), ...

2024/05/17

Propaganda has always been an issue in our societies, but the problem is becoming a much bigger challenge today. Recently, a British man was charged over an arson plot targeting a Ukrainian business after he was allegedly recruited to act for the mercenary group, Wagner. He will face trial under the UK’s new National Security Act, the first time a case will be brought under this new legislation, designed to crack down on foreign agents. But this isn’t the only incident. A more serious Ru...
