Eco-Anxiety

Today JD & Col dive into another light topic… Eco-Anxiety!

Here’s the thing, the climate is changing in all the worst ways and that fact makes us feel… how?

We’re anxious, we’re grieving, we’re guilty, we’re angry and doubtful, we’re in shock, we’re numb, and the list goes on. But what is the healthy response to these very real and valid emotions?

JD has a few great ideas: Accept that this is real, increase our capacity for uncomfortable feelings, and toss ice cubes to the baby seagulls (literally and metaphorically).

They talk through how to keep hope alive, how individual action is important,and  the anxiety of feeling like it’s too late.

There are no easy answers, no answers at all in fact, but this conversation made us feel better and kinder, hope you hear that in this episode.
