Hey Change Podcast

In this episode, we speak with the incredible Dr. Julie Pullen about the importance of building community around climate solutions. Dr. Julie Pullen is a climate scientist using advanced computing technology and open-source software to quantify climate risk in the financial sector and beyond. With a background in earth system prediction and complex systems, Dr Julie brings a unique perspective as an oceanographer and former engineering professor, holding leadership roles in academia, non-profit, government, private sector, and scientific societies. Her work catalyzes sustainable investing in climate solutions and women-led ventures, and our conversation with Julie is nothing short of empowering.

In this episode:

• The importance of slowing down
• Embracing observation + learning to support a fair climate transition
• What will happen to stranded assets as we make necessary changes towards a climate positive future?
• Things we can do to mitigate climate change today
• What part does money play in climate action?
• Re-envisioning greener cities
• The power of imagination

We also talk about her work with Women Power Our Planet, an organization she co-founded that channels the financial power of women as an impactful climate solution. You’ll hear Dr. Julie talk about three things we can do to mitigate climate change today, as well as her praise for the book All We Can Save by Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Dr. Katharine K. Wilkinson. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did. We know you, too, will feel optimistic and empowered!

When did we start having such a strained relationship with stuff? And can you actually have stuff without breaking the planet? That is exactly what we'll get into in this episode with circular economy entrepreneur and author Sandra Goldmark.

Thing's we'll ponder together:

• When and why did we lose touch with the value of things?
• How can we care for things and fix them when they're broken?
• How should we think about stuff to make sure they only fill a functional, balanced, and nurturing part of our lives?
• What is circular economy and how can we achieve it?

We'll also start the episode with what I call "Maddie Chats" where Madeleine is coming back to the show to give you quick "need-to-know" about microplastics, a teaser of an upcoming episode when we'll dive a lot deeper into that world...

About Sandra:

Sandra is a circular economy entrepreneur and author whose work focuses on solutions to overconsumption and climate change. In her recent book Fixation: How to Have Stuff Without Breaking the Planet, she takes readers on a quest to radically reimagine what a healthy relationship with our stuff might look like.

Changing the narrative around climate change is imperative if we are to aim for a regenerative future. We can't continue to just pump fear and point fingers (let’s face it, we’ve all been wrong) and there's no point in piling evidence of our inevitable disaster unless we're given the clear directions of what to do.

Fear + uncertainty = anxiety + apathy. Which means a bunch of unhappy people unable to get to action. Reversing global warming is not just possible - it's our only option - and we need to start looking at it from excitement and understand that it is, in fact, the most exciting time ever to be alive!

I want to help shift your Universe so that you can feel good about being here, alive and thriving on this planet today. Not despite all the terrible things humanity has done, but because of all the good things we are here to do. I invite you to start your own personal journey towards becoming a happy, healthy, and mission driven Climate Optimist.

In The Climate Optimist Class #1 we will uncover why optimism is needed in the world today and how we can start changing our personal worlds through the practice of retruthing. I would love to see your retruthings as you go about and transform your worlds! Please tag me - @annetheresegennari and @heychangeworld and encourage friends and families to start #retruthing their worlds as well!

Why are positive news so important? That’s a topic we’re discussing with passion in todays episode with Georgina Powell, a true Eco-Warrior and the founder of positive news magazine Pebble. As a writer she found it frustrating that no-one was interested publishing things like sustainable fashion or environmental progress and innovations, and she thought that of course people must be willing to read about such positive things? Turns out she was right and Pebble, an online magazine with all things good news, has today reached 40,000 monthly readers and growing. In this episode we talk about how positive news have changed both of our lives but also how we feel that amazing shift that is happening all around us. Is the time finally here to be excited about positive change?

Let’s end 2018 with a bang! WOOP!

Pebble is an award-winning, fast growing digital magazine and community based in the UK - it's all about guilt-free pleasures - from ethical fashion to eco travel. Its founder Georgina Wilson-Powell has spent the last 16 years working as an editor and publisher for global food and travel brands before setting it up pebble in 2016. She wanted to use her media and communication skills to share positive stories that inspire change.
