    🌏❤️‍🔥Climate Change Threatened My Home—Here’s What I Learned & How We Can Fight Back Creatively w/ Patrick Murphy

    What would you do if climate change threatened your home? That’s the reality I faced during the devastating California wildfires—an experience that changed my entire perspective on the climate crisis and our role in it. I realized that climate change isn’t just about the environment—it’s about our safety, our homes, our families, and our future. It’s a human issue. And while it can feel overwhelming, there are ways to fight back—and creativity might just be our greatest tool. So, I’m kicking off a brand-new series on Unleash Your Inner Creative—all about using creativity to solve the world’s biggest issues. And we’re starting with climate change. Today’s guest is Patrick Murphy, a climate expert, nonprofit leader, and a dear friend. He’s here to break down where we’re really at with the climate crisis, why you should care, and the practical steps you can take to make a difference—creatively. From This Episode, You’ll Learn: -Why climate change is one of the greatest human rights issues of our time—and how it impacts racism, classism, and inequality. -How the California wildfires + my love for people woke me up to the climate crisis. -Why creativity is a powerful tool in the fight against climate change—and how you can use it -Practical, doable steps you can take today to help the planet and your community. -How to stay hopeful + resilient in the face of climate anxiety.
