Description

In this episode, I talk to Britt, a climate mental health expert and new mother. She helped me form my earliest understanding of climate emotions and mental health impacts, and how they intersect with reproductive anxieties. And she has wisdom to impart about how to manage climate emotions, and why having a child is her way of committing to joy and rejecting fear.
