Conscious Eco-Giving

Nonprofit organizations work tirelessly for the better good and they depend on donations from you and me to fund their programs. But giving is not equally distributed: in 2021, just 3% of all donation dollars went to environmental and animal welfare organizations (source).

While we do indeed have the power to use every dollar we earn for change, giving can be confusing. There’s a massive difference between a worthy cause and a solid nonprofit and so on today’s show I’m giving you the tools you need to find a quality charity that speaks to your heart. I’m also suggesting 7 environmental charities worthy of our hard-earned donations.

Here’s a preview:

[5:00] Stay away from these shell non-profits, PACs, and misinformation funnels

[7:45] It’s a minefield out there! How to vet a nonprofit like a boss

[19:00] Environmental catch-all orgs do an awful lot. Here are two of the best

[21:00] Care about animals? I’ve got you!

[24:00] Want to remove carbon from the atmosphere?  2 nonprofit recs

Joy is Resistance

When the world is burning, finding joy can feel impossible—or worse, selfish. How do we make space for celebration without turning a blind eye to reality? Why would we even want to?

While it can feel like a heavy lift, practicing joy is, in fact, an act of resistance. Joy prevents burnout, moves energy, builds solidarity, and promotes resilience.

On today’s show, author Cheryl Leutjen dives into the idea that choosing delight counters the oppressive systems that thrive on our exhaustion, isolation, and apathy.

Here’s a preview:

[5:30] Are we dancing while the Titanic sinks?

[10:00] Grief and anger are essential catalysts for change, but they’re terrible long-term fuels

[15:00] We’re so much more than consumers! Here’s how joy helps us reclaim our full humanity which has been lost under capitalism

[18:00] Community is medicine. We aren’t meant to carry the weight of the world alone!
