In Episode 15, we sit down with Amy Castator, co-founder of Carbon Conversations TO, a volunteer-led initiative helping people process the emotional side of the climate crisis through guided group conversations.
While climate discussions often focus on science, policy, and solutions, Amy’s work creates space for something equally important: our feelings. From anxiety and grief to hope and connection, Carbon Conversations helps people move through overwhelm and into meaningful action.
In this episode, Amy shares how these conversations work, why emotional honesty matters in climate spaces, and what happens when people feel truly heard. We also explore how community, vulnerability, and reflection can strengthen resilience in uncertain times.
This episode is a reminder that climate action is not only practical and political, but deeply human.
