    Finding Hope in the Polycrisis: A Conversation with Keri Jarvis

    In this episode of Do Good and Do Well, I'm joined by Keri Jarvis, a coach, charity co-founder, and advocate for social change. We delve into the concept of the polycrisis - the interconnected challenges of our times - and how we can navigate these complexities while maintaining our well-being. Keri shares her insights on the importance of community, experimentation, and self-compassion in creating positive change. Key Takeaways The polycrisis describes the interconnected nature of today's challenges, including climate change, poverty, inequality, and mental health. It's crucial to view these not as isolated issues, but as interwoven threads. Embrace experimentation and imperfection when striving to make a difference. There's no single solution, so adaptability and a willingness to learn are essential. Community and collaboration are vital for navigating the polycrisis. Sharing experiences, supporting one another, and engaging in collective action can empower us to create positive change and foster a sense of belonging. Episode Highlights (01:58) Keri's journey and how she arrived at her current work (03:47) Balancing awareness of global issues with the desire for a "normal" life (09:19) Exploring Keri's values and how they've evolved (17:47) The story behind the Southend Care Bank and its mission to alleviate hygiene poverty (29:25) Understanding the polycrisis and its impact on our lives (32:56) Finding the motivation to persevere despite the weight of the world's problems (48:11) Keri's composting community and the power of collective care About the Guest Keri Jarvis is an ICF Accredited Developmental Coach for life and work in the polycrisis.
