“Sustainable shifts are a really good antidote to climate anxiety.” To help quell some of that stress (more than two-thirds of Americans experience some kind of eco distress), Ashlee Piper has dedicated herself to dispelling the many stigmas surrounding sustainability. Her focus is on making it more simple and approachable than crunchy and expensive; sharing small steps that everyone can take to make big gains. She shares with Jeanne why she believes sustainability and self-care are connected; how she reframes failure; what first drew her into the eco-friendly field; why rebuilding is her sweet spot; and how fearless authenticity can be both staying true to yourself and allowing yourself to change.
