In today’s episode, Sharon sits down with ethical fashion activist Benita Robledo as they discuss:

• The intersection of parenting and sustainability- and why it’s important to find a balance between the two that is right for you and your family.
• Acknowledging the responsibility we each have as individual consumers while also recognizing the need to hold corporations accountable.
• Why it’s important to not get burnt out by the sustainability choices you make for yourself and your life.

Making ethically sound and sustainable choices doesn’t mean having to make drastic changes all at once- especially when in conjunction with parenting. Remember to give yourself the grace to make sustainability sustainable for you.
