The path out of eco-anxiety is ACTION – tips when sitting in the grief
from Uncommon Courage · host Andrea T Edwards, Samantha Gayfer
Send us Fan MailWhen I caught up with Sam recently, she didn’t look good. It turned out she’s in the midst of eco-anxiety and has been for some time. Well, if you’ve been through it, all I can tell you is it’s not fun, but at the same time, we have no time to sit in it for too long anymore either. Time is of the essence now. Anyhoo, I said we have to chat about how you’re feeling right in this moment, as well as what is helping you get through it? Sam said yes immediately. And so this podcast was born. It’s not depressing, we promise, bit it is realistic. It’s also actionable. For all my experience with eco-anxiety, action is the only path out. Sam is experiencing the same truth. We covered a lot in this discussion…Thinking about how we future-proof our children’s futureWhat eco-anxiety feels like and how it manifestsA great book recommendation – Don’t even think about it! to understand why we can’t grasp this bigger story. I’m waiting for it to arriveHow Sam is speaking with many friends and people in her community, who are quietly looking to set themselves up for the future, but not speaking about it more openly. Is it fear of being mocked? Maybe. We discuss why it’s important that everyone does speak up! Guilt and past lives – are we feeling it? Is there any use? And why awareness means you’ll be looking at life through a new lensAlso how the changes we make that can ripple out around us and create more changeAnd so much more. We hope this helps anyone going through eco-anxiety, as well as those who haven’t been able to face it yet.
