Mental Health On The Frontline Of A Planet Under Attack with Floss Sturgiss

Research on the link between climate change events and PTSD, Major Depression Disorder and Complex Grief has been documented since at least 2018 - have you noticed this existential trauma seeping into you? But what if you’re an Environmental Scientist like Floss Sturgiss? And every part of you is geared toward preventing species from becoming extinct; when you’re on the frontline of seeing the balance of nature collapsing as a direct result of utterly preventable choices, on a daily basis? How do you keep a calm head on your shoulders and carry an open heart in your chest?   This episode takes you into the beautiful and wild landscapes of Australia, the climate change events ravaging them – fires, floods, mass extinctions – and one woman’s enormous passion to dedicate her life to alter the trajectory we’re all on, unless we all start putting caring for Country at the very top of our to-do lists. This is a story of not coping, of learning how to cope, of how to do the big things, of an initiation by fire and the wisdom that appears perfectly on cue.  Support the showFollow Mel Bampton for upcoming opportunities to support you to become a Master of Change:Instagram: @melbampton_Leave a review on Apple Podcast: 'Mel Bampton Presents...How Human'Subscribe to the website & get Mel's free 'Slaying Bad Habits Ebook'Catch some of Mel's presentations: The Uncensored Truth About OvariesMessage From The Bottle: Stories Of Sobriety
