Can we fight climate change by facing our feelings about it? with Dr. Jennifer Atkinson | Ep 66

Today, In the Meanwhile is taking a much-needed breather. But we're not leaving you alone with the slow-motion apocalypse. Nora and Marcus are still here to open and close the show, and in between, we're sharing three episodes of Facing It with Dr. Jennifer Atkinson, a podcast about climate grief, eco-anxiety, and the deeply inconvenient reality of being a human being on a planet in crisis. Because knowing the world is on fire doesn't automatically tell us how to live in it. How do we face grief without surrendering to despair? How do we stay engaged without burning ourselves out? And how might actually feeling the enormity of what we're losing become the first step toward fighting for what remains?

Mentioned in the episode: 

Facing It | The Existential Toolkit for the Climate Crisis: How to Teach in a Burning World | Gardenland: Nature, Fantasy and Everyday Practice | Dungeon Crawler Carl | Seattle Public Library
