Listen "Episode #53 — Mel Barker: Leading with Heart for People and the Planet"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Inspired to Soar with Hannah, we meet Mel Barker, CEO of the Western Port Biosphere Foundation,a woman leading with both purpose and compassion.
Mel shares her journey from government and consulting roles to leading a foundation that connects community, conservation, and mental wellbeing. Together, we explore how caring for the planet starts with caring for ourselves , and how small actions in our daily lives can ripple into something much bigger.
This episode isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence.
Because when we reconnect with nature, we often rediscover the parts of ourselves we’ve forgotten.
💚 Listen, reflect, and remember: we rise, shine, and soar together.
