In this episode, we welcome the delightful Art Therapist Taylor from Wellness Grove. Together, we explore some of the big—and sometimes heavy—feelings that surface in response to our changing climate. Taylor guides us through supportive, playful tools that can help us move through these emotions with care and creativity.We start by asking how climate-related feelings show up for people in their daily lives. From there, we unpack the differences between eco-grief, eco-anxiety, and a new term Linnea learned during the conversation: solastalgia. Taylor offers grounded definitions and shares how these feelings can be understood through both an emotional and creative lens.We also talk about the power of local action. What can ordinary people do in their neighbourhoods to ease eco-stress and build resilience? Taylor highlights simple, accessible ways to contribute, reminding us that community care and environmental care often go hand in hand.Before we wrap up, John brings in a dose of hope by sharing his own efforts to make thoughtful, sustainable choices. Taylor closes the conversation by reconnecting us to her lifelong love of nature and art making. She offers an open invitation for listeners to slow down, notice the natural world around them, and nurture a sense of appreciation and connection.
