Episode 03: A Sustainable Inner World
In this episode, we launch into inner space :-). We’re all in close quarters during the Pandemic, so we get practical with some techniques for compassionate and 'clean' communications, and Libby offers some writing tips for clearing out and becoming aware of our obsessions, habitual stories and 'sticky' words. We touch on triggers, discuss releasing emotions, and share some resources for shifting out of fear and into self compassion.
In a somewhat unconventional 12-episode podcast series, a Novelist and an ex-Googler – Libby and Renée, based in Switzerland – draw on science and data as well as humanity's creativity and flawed beauty to come to terms with – and find actions to address! – our global, local and personal sustainability challenges.
