In this episode, you’ll meet our new co-host, Robin Shaw, and hear how Anne Therese’s work inspired Robin to change her life. Learn about AT’s journey as an activist and “stubborn climate optimist,” why she considers herself a “recovering vegan,” and how she’s learned to deal with climate anxiety. Find out how meeting Anne Therese changed Robin’s approach to work, life and parenting, and how they came up with “Optimist In Action” as a campaign, social movement, and way of life. Get ready to get inspired!
