Why do so many people struggle to take action on climate change, even when they care deeply? In this episode of Chad’s Climate Quest, host Chad Frischmann sits down with Dr. Renée Lertzman, a leading psychologist and strategist, to explore the emotional and psychological dimensions of the climate crisis.

Dr. Lertzman unpacks why fear, anxiety, and even apathy can paralyze us—and how we can transform those feelings into action. Drawing from her decades of research and work with organizations like Google and the World Wildlife Fund, she shares practical tools for building resilience, navigating climate grief, and inspiring action without burnout.
