In this episode of The Power of Partnership Podcast, host Cherri Jacobs Pruitt speaks with Dr. Teddie Potter, Clinical Professor and Director of the Center for Planetary Health and Environmental Justice at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Potter explains how human well-being and the health of the Earth are inseparable, and why solving climate change, biodiversity loss, and other crises requires shifting from domination to partnership with nature.

She describes planetary health as “one big tent,” bringing together scientists, health professionals, artists, farmers, faith leaders, policymakers, and community members. This episode is more than just a conversation, it's a call to action for us all to live in harmony with nature.
