Two Homes, the podcast

where we explore the relationship

between our inner world and the

planet we live on. Because

sustainability that isn’t embodied

doesn’t last - and wellbeing that stays

surface-level doesn’t change anything.​

This podcast is an invitation to look

deeper. To understand how our

nervous systems, beliefs, and patterns

shape the systems we’re trying to

reform - and how real change starts

closer to home than we think.​

    12. Sense and Sensitivity: Fragrance in Hospitality, with Alexx Stuart
    2026/06/23

    Scent is the only sense with a direct channel to the limbic system, the part of the brain that processes emotion, memory and safety. It's why the smell of a place can transport you instantly to another time. And it's why what hotels pump into their lobbies, spray in their bathrooms and wash their linen with matters far more than most operators realise.

    In this first guest episode of Two Homes, sustainability leadership consultant Sarah Rhodes is joined by Alexx Stuart, founder of Low Tox Life, author, hospitality consultant and former fragrance industry insider, for a conversation about what synthetic fragrance is actually doing to hotel guests, to the staff working in those environments every day, and to the bottom line.

    From phthalates and hormone disruption to the $33 billion annual cost of absenteeism in Australia, this episode makes the case that fragrance is not a finishing touch, it's a sustainability issue. And it ends somewhere hopeful: what genuinely beautiful, place-based, low tox scent experiences could look like in hospitality done well.

    Two Homes is for leaders who know that lasting performance, for people and planet, starts from the inside out. Two homes: the one we inhabit within, and the one we all share.

    11. The S in ESG
    2026/06/16
    The E in ESG gets almost all the attention. The S, social sustainability, is the least examined, understood and actioned aspect of the three. And yet it touches everything: how staff are treated, what's in the supply chain, how a business relates to its community and whether modern slavery is something happening in your operation without your knowledge.This episode makes the case that genuine social sustainability isn't about charity giving, volunteer days or wellness apps it's about how a business operates end to end, from the people it employs to the products it buys to the community it belongs to. Drawing on data from Australian hospitality's 38.7% staff turnover rate, the 41,000 people in modern slavery conditions in Australia right now, and examples from Southeast Asia and here at home, this episode goes to the places most sustainability conversations don't. Because the S in ESG isn't a soft topic. It's where the commercial, the human and the ethical all meet.References from this episode:Redundant Charities book: https://www.redundantcharities.com/Ocean film: https://silverbackfilms.tv/shows/oceanwithdavidattenborough/64% of hospitality staff in Australia are on casual contracts Source: Sidekicker https://sidekicker.com/blog/what-are-the-minimum-hours-for-casual-workers-in-hospitality52% casual/part-time across all Australian industries (comparison figure) Source: Australian hospitality industry statistics overview https://resdiary.com/blog/2024-hospitality-industry-statistics-in-australia38.7% staff turnover rate in Australian hospitality in 2024 — highest of any sector Source: Allara Global, citing Hospitality and Catering News, March 2025 https://allaraglobal.com/blog/entry/retention-over-turnover-hospitality-leaders-playbook$30,000 average cost per departure Source: ScaleSuite, citing Australian HR Institute 2023 https://www.scalesuite.com.au/resources/staff-turnover-rate-and-workforce-churn-australiaNational average turnover 8–9.5% — hospitality more than four times that Source: ScaleSuite https://www.scalesuite.com.au/resources/staff-turnover-rate-and-workforce-churn-australiaThe "retention gap" — industry isn't short of people, it's short of workplaces worth staying in Source: Jobs and Skills Australia Better Together Report 2024, via Hospitality Magazine https://www.hospitalitymagazine.com.au/retention-gap-drives-hospitality-staff-shortages/Direct JSA source: https://www.jobsandskills.gov.au/data/occupation-shortageOrganisations that promote internally retain employees 41% longer Source: Foremind, citing Australian turnover research https://www.foremind.com.au/post/employee-turnover-statisticsEngaged employees 15% less likely to leave / poor culture linked to 30% higher turnover Source: ScaleSuite, citing AHRI 2023 https://www.scalesuite.com.au/resources/staff-turnover-rate-and-workforce-churn-australia61% of Australian employees planning to change jobs in 2025 Source: Perkbox Beyond the Paycheck report https://www.perkbox.com/au/resources/blog/beyond-the-paycheck-retention-202542% of turnover is considered preventable Source: Foremind, citing Gallup research https://www.foremind.com.au/post/employee-turnover-statisticsGallup primary source: https://www.gallup.com/workplace/646538/employee-turnover-preventable-often-ignored.aspxEvery $1 invested in mental health returns up to $4 Source: Black Dog Institute https://www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/resources-support/wellbeing/workplace-wellbeing/66% of Australian workers reported feeling burnt out in 2024 — up 13% from 2022 Source: Allara Global, citing Wellness Designs Report 2024 https://allaraglobal.com/blog/entry/retention-over-turnover-hospitality-leaders-playbookSweden four day work week pilot — December 2023, 11 organisations, results Source: ZNetwork https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/swedens-four-day-workweek-pilot-shows-happier-more-productive-employees/50 million people globally in modern slavery / 41,000 in Australia Source: Walk Free Global Slavery Index 2023, via Mercy Foundation https://www.mercyfoundation.com.au/latest_news/41000-people-in-modern-slavery-in-australia/Walk Free primary source: https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/country-studies/australia/Human trafficking reports in Australia — rising trend Source: Australian Federal Police media release https://www.afp.gov.au/news-centre/media-release/human-trafficking-reports-continue-increase-australiaMost recent AFP data (2024–25 all time high): https://www.afp.gov.au/news-centre/media-release/reports-human-trafficking-nearly-double-over-past-five-yearsGECA eco-label certification — modern slavery requirements Source: GECA website https://geca.ecoAustralian Modern Slavery Act and register Source: Australian Government Modern Slavery Register https://www.modernslavery.gov.au/about-modern-slavery/modern-slavery-australiaOz Harvest corporate cooking program Source: OzHarvest website https://www.ozharvest.org/what-we-do/corporate/Two Good Co Source: Two ...

  • 10. Personal Sustainability: From the Inside Out

    10. Personal Sustainability: From the Inside Out
    2026/06/09

    What does it actually look like to practice what you preach? This episode turns the lens inward, not on a client or a hotel, but on the business and my life. Ten episodes in, this is an honest look at what personal sustainability means beyond the professional, how comfort can become the enemy of change, what it takes to stay resourced enough to keep doing meaningful work, and why the inner home needs as much attention as the outer one. Drawing on eleven years in the field, a pandemic that forced an uncomfortable journey inward, and the slow integration of movement, presence and mindful consumption into daily life, this episode explores the thread that runs beneath everything: when we genuinely take care of ourselves, taking care of the planet starts to feel less like obligation and more like the natural thing to do. Not perfect or righteous, just integrated.

    Two Homes is for leaders who know that lasting performance, for people and plane, starts from the inside out. Two homes: the one we inhabit within, and the one we all share.
