  • Climate Grief with Corey Hardeman

    Kristen and Kyla are joined by special guest Corey Hardeman, painter, presenter, and certified Death Doula who also hosts workshops on climate grief. She holds a BSc in biology and is trained in both architectural drafting and classical drawing. Her art combines elements of traditional illustration and technical drawing, with a love of tonal painting and an eye for tension and movement.

    Corey discusses what forms grief may take, how it manifests in relation to the climate crisis, and what listeners can do to help mitigate the anxiety and grief they may be feeling in our turbulent present.
