Tackling Sustainability Overwhelm

Feeling totally swamped by sustainability? You're not alone. In this episode, I’m getting straight to the point about why so many of us are stuck in a cycle of burnout, blank stares from the boardroom, and to-do lists that never shrink. It’s not you - it’s the impossible expectations. I’m breaking down the real reasons behind sustainability overwhelm and sharing a practical way to start regaining control, one small permanent shift at a time. Highlights: (00:46) Sustainability overwhelm is real (01:55) ESG isn’t a side hustle (03:30) You’re not supposed to know everything (06:28) The pressure’s ridiculous and the expectations are off the charts (07:35) That to-do list? It’s not ever getting “done”- and that’s OK (10:06) Chunk it down and start with one small change (12:22) People matter: rally your crew (15:30) Don’t waste energy on things that look good but do nothing Find out more: www.lighthouse-sustainability.co.uk Sign up to our newsletter ‘The Beacon’ here Upcoming course dates Book a Power Hour with Emma https://calendly.com/emma-lighthouse/power-hour Connect with Emma Website Email Emma Burlow | LinkedIn Not Sustainable
