Today, we are honored to welcome award-winning filmmaker and environmental activist Rebecca Tickell. Alongside her husband, Josh Tickell, Rebecca has spent decades telling stories that have sparked global movements—from FUEL and The Big Fix, to The Earthing Movie and, of course, the breakout hit Kiss the Ground.
Now, she’s back with a powerful follow-up: Common Ground—a Tribeca award-winning documentary featuring voices like Jason Momoa, Laura Dern, Rosario Dawson, and Donald Glover. The film peels back the layers of our broken food system and shines a light on the farmers—Black, Indigenous, and White—who are leading a new agricultural revolution.
In this conversation, Rebecca shares what regenerative agriculture really means, why storytelling is her vehicle for change, and how we can all make more conscious choices without losing heart in the process.
This might very well be one of the most important conversations we have had on The Resilience Report since launching over two years ago. As Rebecca shares: "Each one of us can help restore our local ecosystem. Or we could help restore an entire province or state or an entire region or country. I mean, that's the power that these conversations have and that each one of us has. That’s why it’s so exciting — because we are on the forefront of this movement, and those who step in right now are going to see tremendous change."

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
