I’m thrilled to share my new interview series, BURNING QUESTIONS. Many of us are asking the same things: How can I truly help? How do I stay resilient as climate impacts deepen? Burning Questions is a short-form series that invites collective for transformation.

Addressing climate change requires a social justice lens. It’s ensuring that solutions uplift communities most affected by environmental and economic inequities. #climate #justice

"The richest 20% of nations, with 15% of the global population, contribute more than 40% of annual ecological overshoot, whereas the poorest 40% of countries, with 42% of the global population, experience more than 60% of the social shortfall.

Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries monitors a world out of balance - Nature

A revised ‘Doughnut’ providing a visual assessment of trends in social deprivation and planetary degradation over the past two decades shows more than doubling of global GDP accompanied by accelerating ecological overshoot but only a modest reduction in human deprivation.

When it comes to emotional resilience in the face of climate change, an important and overlooked aspect is growing our capacity to be with difficult feelings and experiences as we are living through more challenges. Yes, we need tools to support our hearts and nervous systems too. It’s a both/and.

This is anything but soft or a distraction to the polycrises we are in: these kinds of practices are essential to stay engaged, present, and clear minded. Otherwise we are on the road to burnout. Let’s do this 💚

I’m glad to be a resident climate-aware therapist for Britt Wray’s Gen Dread newsletter. In this column a grandmother is faced with the question of how to navigate intergenerational climate conversations. What results is a powerful act of love. And it’s what we need now more than ever.

Dear Climate Therapist: How can I apologize to my grandson without drowning in sadness?
