  • Learning from Nature: Ron Pulice on Transitioning From Road Builder to Regenerative Rancher
    Apr 30 2026

    In this special episode of Regenerative Mindset, Stacy Pulice sits down with someone who has been at the heart of her journey: her husband, Ron Pulice.

    Together, they reflect on the evolution of their farm and the many lessons learned along the way. From the early days of working the land to the shifts toward more regenerative practices, Ron shares an honest perspective on what it takes to adapt, experiment, and grow alongside the land over time.

    This conversation explores the realities of farming beyond what it looks like in practice to move away from conventional methods, navigate challenges, and embrace approaches that prioritize soil health, ecosystem balance, and long-term sustainability. Ron speaks to the importance of observation, patience, and being willing to change course as new understanding emerges.

    Stacy and Ron also discuss the trial-and-error nature of regenerative agriculture, and how each season brings new insights that inform the next. Their shared journey highlights the deep connection between land stewardship and personal growth, and the responsibility that comes with caring for a place over time.

    This episode is a grounded and intimate look at what it truly means to farm regeneratively—not as a fixed destination, but as an ongoing process of learning, listening, and evolving.

  • Hot Seat: Stacy Pulice on Slow Food & the Future of Farming
    Apr 16 2026

    In this first installment of a new Hot Seat series on Regenerative Mindset, Stacy Pulice answers a listener's question about what she is currently exploring and how it opens the door to an exciting new direction in her work.

    After years immersed in permaculture and regenerative agriculture, Stacy has recently turned her attention to the Slow Food Movement, a global initiative rooted in the principles of good, clean, and fair food for all.

    In this episode, Stacy shares what she is learning about the Slow Food Movement and why it so deeply aligns with her work at Ellwood Canyon Ranch. She explores its core values from sustainable and regenerative farming practices to fair labor conditions, food accessibility, and the importance of cultural preservation through food.

    Looking ahead, Stacy discusses her upcoming trip to Italy, where she plans to visit farms, food producers, and the birthplace of the movement to experience these principles firsthand. This journey will serve as an opportunity to gather insight, inspiration, and practical knowledge to bring back to her community.

    We invite you to submit your own questions for future Hot Seat episodes via Stacy’s website or social media.

  • Cultivating Inner Balance Through Daoist Practice: Paul Fraser On Qigong, Alignment, And Restoring Harmony In Uncertain Times
    Mar 26 2026

    In this episode of Regenerative Mindset, Paul Fraser returns to the conversation to explore how Daoist philosophy and embodied practice can support greater stability, clarity, and resilience in times of uncertainty.

    Drawing from decades of study in Chinese medicine, Qigong, and internal martial arts, Paul shares how ancient teachings such as the Dao De Jing and the I Ching offer practical guidance for modern life. Rather than approaching well-being as something external to fix or control, he emphasizes the importance of internal cultivation, working with breath, posture, and awareness to restore the natural flow of qi and bring the body back into coherence.

    Throughout the conversation, Paul speaks to the relationship between physical alignment and emotional steadiness, offering insight into how small, consistent practices can shift the way we respond to stress, conflict, and the unpredictability of daily life. He also reflects on the broader impact of personal energy and how the state we cultivate within ourselves subtly influences the environments and communities we are part of.

    This episode offers a grounded and accessible entry point into Daoist wisdom, inviting listeners to consider how aligning with natural rhythms can create a deeper sense of balance both internally and externally.

    You can learn more through Paul's book: Qigong, Rediscovering Our Humanity, and his website: www.paulfraserqigong.net.
