  • Rethinking Rural Development: How Alignment of Planning Policy Enables Sustainable Hamlets

    Rethinking Rural Development: How Alignment of Planning Policy Enables Sustainable Hamlets
    Sep 25 2025

    In this episode Zola interviews Steven Liaros to discuss the importance and the roadmap to create a network of Circular Economy Villages (CEV).

    These villages aim to integrate private housing development with public infrastructure to alleviate stress on local governments and create sustainable, regenerative rural and peri-urban communities.

    Steven delves into the critical barriers that traditional eco-village projects face, such as local area planning policies, financing, and necessary infrastructure.

    The CEV model addresses these issues by incorporating principles of the circular economy, emphasizing reduced waste and enhanced efficiency in energy and water usage, and fostering climate resilience.

    The episode highlights the benefits of this model for rural areas and its role in enabling local governments to collaborate efficiently.

    The discussion also covers the strategic planning and financial strategies that are key to making these villages a reality.

    And, Steven envisions it being a really great place to live where people know their neighbours and share resources and activities and where folks who are a bit nomadic yet with a desire for belonging can find a community within a CEV.

  • Empowering Women to End Homelessness

    Empowering Women to End Homelessness
    Sep 9 2025
    In this episode of the Homefullness Show, Dionne Payne, founder of Women for Homes, discusses her ambitious mission to inspire 1 million women to invest $5,000 each to end homelessness by 2030. She is inviting women to contribute to an ethical investment fund that will, when a substantial amount is accumulated, will develop affordable housing projects. We discuss what "affordable" means in this context, which is 30% of a homeowner or renter's income, and how to create perpetual, retained, intergenerational affordability. Dionne shares her journey from a scientist to a real estate developer, impact investor for affordable housing, and financial educator for women, driven by her concern for the growing numbers of older women becoming homeless due to unforeseen circumstances (such as relationship break-up or low savings due to under-earning over a lifetime.) She speaks of her development of affordable units in Australia, which worked with a tenure-blind model (where residents don't know who has subsidised housing). She is inspired by the One Planet Living framework which guides sustainable housing and neighbourhood development. Dionne provides insights into financial empowerment, including the importance of community and diverse investment strategies, and offers her Amazon bestseller book, 'Ethical Property Investing', for free download to interested listeners.

  • Building Resilient Futures: Insights on Ecovillages

    Building Resilient Futures: Insights on Ecovillages
    Aug 6 2025

    In this episode, host Zola interviews Zahra Lightway about her tour of eco villages across Australia, India, and Europe.

    The conversation explore what made the ecovillages she visited successful, mainly a robust governance system, income-earning programmes and opportunities, a shared worldview (values and beliefs), and mission-driven activities.

    They cover sociocracy as a governance model, the difference between eco estates and eco villages, and innovative financial models like Les Pas Sages for start-up ecovillages, and the significance of a well-structured internal economic system.

    The episode concludes with a conversation about the future of ecovillages.
