Today, I tell you my climate story and I teach you how to tell yours.  If you feel overwhelmed with climate action or if you are confused on where to start in your climate journey, this episode if for you!

Owning and telling your climate story is one of the most impactful things you can do to start combating climate change.   Once you own your story, the dark and the light parts of it, then you will then no longer be defined by it. You may begin making different choices. You may change your relationship with the planet. You may inspire others to do the same.  

Owning your climate story is not about judgment or shame, it is about honesty.  I recommend you approach this exercise with a lot of self love, compassion, non-judgment, responsibility, and truth.

Here are the 5 questions to ask to start understanding your climate story

1.     Whose land do I occupy? 

2.     What were global GHG emission levels when I was born, and how has that changed to now?

3.     How have I seen the world change around me since I were a kid? 

4.     In what ways do I feel shame around climate change? 

5.     How am I already a climate hero?
