Nina Dar. The Change Troubleshooter
Change doesn’t only happen on big stages or inside shiny transformation programmes.
It happens in real lives, real communities and often far from the spotlight.
Nina Dar: The Change Troubleshooter is a podcast that gives space to those stories.
Hosted by Nina Dar, transformation leader, executive coach and founder of Cheeky Monkey Business Solutions, the podcast features conversations with people who’ve driven change from the grassroots up, challenged the status quo, or quietly shaped the world in ways you may never have heard of, but should.
Some episodes are planned. Some are wonderfully accidental. All are real.
In 2026, the podcast leans into the themes of Nina’s book,
Your Move: The Human Reset 100 Coaching Moments for Conscious Transformation in the Age of AI, exploring what it really means to stay human, awake and courageous in a world accelerating faster than our systems, and sometimes our thinking.
No hype. No hero worship.
Just honest stories, human insight and the belief that real change starts closer to the ground than we’re usually told.

A Thought for Food
Welcome to season 2 of The Change Troubleshooter, the sustainability season.
In today’s episode, “A Thought for Food”, we are off, thanks to the magic of Zoom, to the frigid shores of Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada where Nina meets Bonita Gionet, who, in her own words is a pragmatic, curious, forward thinking civil engineer, project manager, lifelong learner and coach with a passion for food.
For more than 20 years, Bonita has been involved in local food systems, as a consumer, food co-operative member, Community Shared Agriculture subscriber and also as a vendor at several Farmer’s Markets. She knows her onions, so to speak. Based in Kincardine on the snowy shores of Lake Huron, Nina caught up with her to discuss the important role food plays in the quest for sustainability.
Recorded on Zoom, this episode is also available as a video. Click here to watch it.
