Feeling totally swamped by sustainability?
You're not alone.
In this episode, I’m getting straight to the point about why so many of us are stuck in a cycle of burnout, blank stares from the boardroom, and to-do lists that never shrink.
It’s not you - it’s the impossible expectations.
I’m breaking down the real reasons behind sustainability overwhelm and sharing a practical way to start regaining control, one small permanent shift at a time.
Highlights:
(00:46) Sustainability overwhelm is real
(01:55) ESG isn’t a side hustle
(03:30) You’re not supposed to know everything
(06:28) The pressure’s ridiculous and the expectations are off the charts
(07:35) That to-do list? It’s not ever getting “done”- and that’s OK
(10:06) Chunk it down and start with one small change
(12:22) People matter: rally your crew
(15:30) Don’t waste energy on things that look good but do nothing
