No Place Like Home

This season, we're getting to the heart of *All The Climate Feels.*

Let's face it: climate change makes us feel anxious, afraid, angry, apathetic, and even depressed.

Join us as we get personal with experts and folks on the frontlines to explore how we cope - and find out what we can do to find strength, courage, peace, and joy in the face of climate change.

This episode, we get real with a climate scientist. What does it *feel* like to study this planetary and humanitarian crisis?

Dr. Kate Marvel shares her experience being a (badass) climate scientist in these crazy times. And we explore her provocative call for courage - not hope - in this epic fight for our earth and lives.

Join us as we get personal with experts and folks on the frontlines to explore how we cope - and find out what we can do to find strength, courage, peace, and even joy in the face of climate change. We’re kicking things off with a fascinating chat with someone who has been studying “eco-anxiety” since it was a thing.

What exactly is it? And what can we do about it? Dr. Renee Lertzman has answers.

In part 4 of our series 'How Then Shall We Live?' which explores whether or not our personal choices matter in the fight against climate change, Mary Anne and Anna Jane explore whether or not to cut down on flying because of the harmful impact on the climate. They are joined by Dr. Peter Kalmus, a climate scientist at NASA (speaking on his own behalf) who made the personal decision to avoid flying to reduce his carbon footprint. It's an inspiring and surprising dialogue on the beauty, life lessons, and everyday miracles he's gained as a result of slowing down and being more present and intentional.
