213: The Reset Rebel meets Medicinal Mushroom workshop hostesses Tess Prince & Gemma Ogsten

In todays episode we step into the magical world of mushrooms with Gemma Ogston and Tess Prince. Gemma is author of The Self-CareCookbook and The Healing Cookbook, wellness chef (as seen on TV!) and founder of the amazing brand, Mama Shrooms and she hosted a day retreat at Pikes with Tess of Love Food Ibiza a couple of years ago along with local expert Tim – aka, ‘The Mushroom Man’.  It was so fascinating they did it again in October with some added new knowledge, experience and recipes, which we all got to take away with us as well as a gorgeous goodie bag.  Gemma and Tess join me at Soho Farmhouse to explore the power of functional mushrooms and how they can transform health and wellbeing. 

This week we head to Patisserie Margot to meet IVF Daddies host and Surrogacy expert Richard Westoby and his fabulous partner co-host, Julio Gaggia over a bottle of Rose at the Bakery to talk kids, relationships, Ibiza, Cake, island life, parenting, IVF and have a giggle while we get a little bit tipsy! The pair are not just gorgeous, but funny and we had lots of fun meeting them at the Parisian style venue in the heart of Marina Botafoch.

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.

Last Saturday as I hosted TED X Dalt Vila on stage here in Ibiza, I invited a talk about the Truth. It IS supposed to be absolute, unquestionable and the facts that form the very foundation of everything we know or at least expect to be true.  But in today’s world—where deepfakes blur reality, misinformation spreads like wildfire, and algorithms shape what we see and believe—how do we even begin to separate fact from fiction? We live in an era where narratives outweigh nuance and headlines out shout honesty. Where the sheer volume of information doesn’t make us more informed, but more divided, more uncertain, and more vulnerable to have the wool pulled over our eyes.  Our next speaker is someone who carved out career as an investigative journalist. Bob Trafford spent years unearthing hidden truths, analysing evidence, and navigating the delicate line between what is real and what is manufactured working for Forensic Architecture. His work doesn’t just reveal what we believe to be true—but why we believe it. So, in a world where the truth is increasingly up for debate, how do we find it? And just as importantly—how do we protect it?

Beneath the surface of the sea, buried under layers of time, lie stories waiting to be told.  Right now, today´s podcast guest is quite literally uncovering history—on an under water excavation in Menorca, exploring a shipwreck lost to time. But archaeology isn’t just about the past. It’s about the present—and the future.  It’s about understanding where we come from so we can navigate where we are going. Trevor J Wallace is an explorer, artist, and filmmaker,  as well as the Vice President of Research & Education  at The Explorers Club.  From Scythian tombs to submerged shipwrecks, from sacred sites in Hawai’i to the stories we haven’t yet discovered,  his work is about more than artifacts— it is about understanding the human experience. So why does archaeology matter now—in a world dominated by technology, speed, and an ever-accelerating present? Because the deeper we dig,  the more we understand.  

In todays episode we hear from Mallorca based environmentalist Caterina  Amengual Morro in the run up to World Water Day this weekend. She will be giving a talk at TEDx Dalt Vila this month, on Why We Must Listen to Water and essentially give it a voice.  She a masters in landscape and PhD in aquatic ecology and is passionate about adressing the on going issues of our Balearic water crisis.  With more than 20 years of experience in environmental consultancy and currently works as a senior technician in climate change and collaborator of the Interdisciplinary Ecology Group (UIB) and the Water Observatory (UIB).  In todays chat she offers some nature-based solutions; talks about an integrated water cycle management idea and how we can create a green infrastructure and ecosystem of regeneration.

Coco Francavilla is not a scientist or an ocean explorer. She has a long history as a musician and working in the music industry.  For 25 years, as a composer, artist, and sound engineer she has been immersed in the music world—fascinated by how art and science intertwine.  I’ve explored sound not just as music, but as something deeper—how it can unite, heal, and inspire us and that is exactly why she set up  her NGO, Musicforthesea.org. Through multidisciplinary and artistic engagements, the aim is to enhance understanding and appreciation of marine ecosystems. Together, she wishes we can protect the Ocean because it is integral to our future—the Ocean is us, and we are the Ocean. Hear her talk, Re-Oceaning, on the stage at TEDx Dalt Vila on March 29th. Tickets are available here. 

What does a good death look like ? Ever thought about it? In todays episode we hear from TedX Dalt Vila Speaker Sierra Campbell  -  an Elder Care and End-of-Life Educator dedicated to transforming how we approach aging and end-of-life care.  After establishing home health and wellness services in the United States post-college, Sierra spent a decade caring for more than 100 elders during their final years.
