Hope, Care & Raising Kids In A Climate Crisis with Kaitlyn Teer
About this episode
Kaitlyn Teer discusses her book on motherhood and climate change, exploring themes of hope and activism in the face of ecological challenges.
Kaitlyn Teer joins us again! This time, she’s here to talk about her new book, Little Apocalypses; Essays on Motherhood, Climate Change, and Hope at the End of the World . The book is kaleidoscopic and specific all at once, and we both loved it, even though it’s full of heavy stuff about climate grief and how much we’ve already lost. In this episode, there are so many moments of discovery, including a long chat about the powerful, fantastic phrases that Teer built the book of essays around. As a teaser, here are some of the ideas we explore: * Muscular hope * Maternal ecodistress * Green third shift * Maternal time * Ecological compassion * Apocalyptic mindfulness And much more in this inspiring conversation about care, climate, activism and how we can show up for our children as we face a changed planet, together.
