#SeekTheJoy

Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday! Today's episode is jam packed, and it's a good one. First you'll hear my conversation with Divya Nawale. Divya and I met last year in Denver, Colorado when we attended the Climate Reality Leadership Corps training with The Climate Reality Project. Then you'll hear from five Climate Reality Leaders who I also met in Denver - Andrea McGimsey, Karen Harrington, Linda Kraemer, Joanclair Richter, and Mayela Manasjan. It was so fun to catch-up with everyone and hear about what they’ve been up to in the last year! 

I know the topic of climate change can be heated and at times alienating. To be honest, I was a little hesitant to include this episode, so I just want to say this. I really believe that climate change isn't a liberal or conversative issue. At its core, it's a human issue and a social justice issue. So no matter what side you're on, I hope you'll give today's episode a listen. Plus - today's episode isn't just about climate change! 

On today’s episode we chat all about Divya’s passion for the environment, her self-love and joy journey, how she builds up her self-love muscles, and how it's important to treat ourselves with kindness and patience during moments of uncertainty. We also talk about her love of dance, how she stays grounded and true to who she is, and so much more.

On the podcast today is Elise Fabbro, and Elise and I met while at USC. She is an environmentalist to her core, but she’s not your typical environmentalist - and she explains why on today’s episode. 

We chat all about the importance of learning to follow the things you love, being honest about your limits, and making your passions really clear - both to yourself and to others. Elise also shares with us what brings her joy, the lessons she’s learned from working (too) hard and burning out (seriously we can all relate to this!), her life bucket list, and much more. 

It's always so much fun for me to have these #SeekTheJoy conversations with friends who are following their passions and putting themselves out there.
