  • 9. The Rich Destroy, You Recycle: Let's Talk Class & Climate

From overpriced 'green' luxuries to fear-fueled marketing that keeps us compliant, we unpack who really benefits from the sustainability movement; and who's left paying the bill.

  • 8. Eco-Leadership or Eco-Scapegoating? Glass Cliff in Sustainability

    Is sustainability just another glass cliff dressed in green? In this episode, we uncover how women in eco-leadership roles are often set up to fail - handed impossible goals, and then blamed when corporations miss the mark. From the first Chief Sustainability Officer to today's boardrooms, we ask: is 'green leadership' empowering, or just another trap? Along the way, we dismantle the distraction tactics - like whataboutism - that keep real climate progress off the table.

  • 7. The Gender Tax of Sustainability

    Why does saving the planet feel like a women's unpaid side hustle? In this episode, we call out the myth of personal eco-guilt and unpack how sustainability has been turned into a gendered burden. From recycling bins to carbon footprints, women are pressured to carry the planet's conscience while governments and corporations cash in and shrug off responsibility. Get ready to flip the script: climate justice was never about guilt - it was always about power.
