THE PROBLEM SMART HOMES CAN’T SOLVE (AND WHY REGENERATIVE REAL ESTATE CAN) | Caroline Howell - E133

Caroline Howell, a former private equity executive who radically reimagined what success, health, and impact could look like, shares her journey from burnout and chronic illness to co-creating regenerative, living-systems developments that restore land, protect biodiversity, and nourish human wellbeing. Together with Kristin, they explore how regenerative real estate, food systems, water sovereignty, and community design can rebuild a sense of safety and trust in an uncertain world. This conversation goes beyond sustainability buzzwords and into what it truly means to live in harmony with nature while building beautiful, viable communities.
