In this episode, I kick off a new series called Build Your House of Wellness. In this series, I ask each guest one question: How are you building your house of wellness?  

My first guest is the incredibly talented and very humble, Nicole DeNamur. She’s an innovative teacher, award-winning author, and advocate for healthy spaces, not to mention a sustainability professional and attorney. Join us as we explore her "house" and discuss the power of mentorship, language, and our responsibility to advocate for a healthier built environment. 

Check out all of the impactful work Nicole is doing at www.sustainablestrategiespllc.com where you can also find links to her online educational programming, including her Sustainable Strategies School, her medium series, and social channels.  

In this episode, I share insights from youth activists about how we can support them in effecting change in the world. Knowing our role is the first step to taking action.
