When Grief brings us back to love: The quiet courage of climate activism with sarah jaquette Ray
Most of us, when it comes to climate anxiety, swing between utter despair and self-protective numbness. In our doom-scrolling attention economy, these are natural and common responses.
In this episode, Jennifer speaks with climate scholar, educator and author of A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety Sarah Jaquette Ray to explore how we might move through the heaviest of climate emotions—without turning away, burning out, or losing touch with what we love.
They explore:
The toll of burnout and the unexpected clarity grief can bring
What it takes to face the monster of climate chaos
The new texture of climate activism—intimate, relational, and imperfect
Grounding practices to help us stay courageous and awake in ecological unravelling
Together, they reflect on the emotional and relational labor of holding space during collapse, the wisdom exchanged across generations, and the quiet courage it takes not to fix—but to animate activism with love.
