And, her podcast, Hey Change, motivates people to embrace change and find happiness in new realities.

What YOU can do to become a stubborn climate optimist too:

Take some time to slow down and think about what kinds of changes you would like to see for the world and then think about how you can consciously make choices that help to achieve those changes.
Find hope in taking action.
Share your eco-wins on social media so that they can start to become social norms.
