218: The Reset Rebel meets campaigner and storyteller Isobel

This week on The Reset Rebel, Jo Youle sits down with island translator Dan Cohen, a man who has quietly helped bridge cultures on Ibiza for decades.From translating books and ideas across languages, to interpreting the subtleties of island life itself, Dan shares what it really means to live between worlds — linguistically, culturally and personally.In this chat we explore: How language shapes identity The art (and responsibility) of translation What Ibiza looks like through a translator’s lens Why words matter more than ever in a divided world The hidden stories behind bringing books to life in another language Dan also reflects on his TEDx experience and what it means to speak publicly about ideas that connect rather than divide.This episode is for anyone fascinated by language, culture, storytelling — and the quiet power of those who help us understand one another.For podcast courses, head to our website :  https://www.resetrebelproductions.com/podcast-training/

Guest Number 215 is a man I met in Goa upon the magic sands of Mandrem.At that time, I was doing my yoga teacher training and having an early mid life crisis & he was an Ayurvedic massage therapist living in New York. James Winstanley was also in a duo, playing the hang drum and came to play a few sessions in our yoga shala and we became firm friends. One day we drank some very bad and extremely low quality Indian Gin that left me with an awful Head the next day as you will hear in our chat and James went on to tinker with some tinctures after sampling some at a house party one night at our previous podcast guests home,  Helen Noakes aka guest no 41. The rest as they say is history and that tinkering led to the creation of his Nomadic spirit drink, which he has just launched, which is made from medicinal herbs and tinctures and is actually leaves you feeling rather wonderful.You can try it https://nomadicspirit.co/ with a special 10% podcast discount code by adding the words, Reset Rebel at check out.

Today we release our final interview from TedX Dalt Vila on the Reset Rebel for Episode 210! Feels like a huge milestone this year and might just whet your appetite for the weekend in more ways than one,  for what’s is still to come!!Dr. Marta Recio Rodriguez is a specialist in sexology and regenerative gynecology, with a clinical and academic focus on women’s sexual health, anatomy, and wellness. Her work explores the intersection between medical science, psychology, and the cultural narratives that have historically shaped — and often silenced — the conversation around female pleasure.Throughout her career, Marta has listened to countless women share their deepest fears, insecurities, and questions — many of which are still wrapped in stigma or shame. She says women’s sexual pleasure has long been pushed to the margins of both medicine and society.So today, we’re flipping the script as Marta invites us to re-examine the science, the silence, and the societal blind spots… as she did in her talk,  “The Clitoris: The Story of the Button No One Can Find." - Coming soon to Ted X Youtube, but first we hope you learn something in todays episode.Learn to podcast in 2026, with me, Jo Youle - host of the Ibiza Reset rebel podcast over four fridays in February :https://www.resetrebelproductions.com/febfridays/Please follow us on Instagram: @THERESETREBEL Join our Substack for more Ibiza news and stories FREE or as a paid supporter here: https://theresetrebel.substack.com/
