93. How to Heal Ourselves to Heal Our Planet
Can climate grief and anger be catalysts for transformational healing? Is there such a thing as healthy denial? And how can we learn to work with our emotions in a way where our hearts break open and use that to serve ourselves, others, and the world? Those are only a few of the things we get into in our beautiful conversation with Jack!
In this conversation:
How to pay attention to our fear, anger, and anxiety to let it empower you
The mental health work required to be a climate optimist
Healthy guilt and healthy denial
How to grow from shame
Why resilience is an act of resistance
