Green Dreamer: Seeding change towards collective healing, sustainability, regeneration

I can’t remember how I came across this podcast, but I have been listening to GD since 2018. It’s actually the only podcast I listen to as I end up spending quite a bit of time reading the books mentioned in the conversations. I look forward to every episode and especially once the overarching theme of the them evolved more into decolonization versus sustainability, it’s impossible to finish an episode without taking away something (oftentimes many things). I love that Kamea asks very thoughtful and well-researched questions and oftentimes lets us go on a learning journey with her when she briefly mentions her feelings or perceptions about the topic of discussion. Having an excellent interviewer highlights the work of those she interviews even more. There’s a humility with GD that I think a lot of podcasts are missing and makes GD that much more special. I also want to add that I love this podcast because a lot of these conversations are not easy to have and it’s comforting to know that there are other people passionate about having them.

I love this podcast so much and it always opens up my imagination to different ways of thinking and does the important work of challenging my biases. I would love to hear an episode on the concept of fair trade/direct trade whenever you get the chance!

Truly enjoy learning from all the guests featured.

ive been listening to this podcast since 2020 having listened to nearly every episode, even the ones from before 2020. ive also been a patreon member. this show has been my oasis esp during tough times, from my days as an environmental major undergrad to now a young professional in business sustainability consulting and still a community organizer. what Kamea has created with Green Dreamer is truly special—the way Kamea fearlessly challenge the dominant narratives that hold us back and inspire us to dream big about what's possible is so powerful. the incredible range of community and thought leaders Kamea brings on the show have opened my mind and heart in ways I never expected. the messages Kamea shares about building a world based on mutual respect, trust, reciprocity, and real relationships have stuck with me and shaped how I see things. while to be totally honest, lately, I've been struggling to finish episodes because they sometimes leave me feeling more hopeless than inspired to take action. realizing that so much of modern Western society is built on a messed-up foundation that needs a total overhaul can be really overwhelming. ive been aware of this reality and had struggles with eco-anxiety from feeling small and never doing enough. but it was not until re-listening to some episodes from early days (ep.100-200) that i realized how much i missed the calls to actions and forward-looking vibe the show used to have💕 i just wanted to send Kamea a big virtual hug and a congratulation , letting you know how much your work means to me and so many others. as we keep pushing forward, let's remember to celebrate the wins, no matter how small, and draw strength from our amazing community of changemakers.🍄🙌🎋✨💚
