Do you ever catch yourself thinking: "I’m just one person, what difference can I make?”

In this episode, we explore how to weed out unhelpful thoughts that lead to overwhelm and powerlessness, and plant seeds of empowerment and active hope.

Drawing on stories from climate activism, psychology, and host Emily Toner's inner circle, you’ll learn how small, intentional actions can ripple outward—just like Greta Thunberg’s first school strike.

🌱 What you’ll discover in this episode:

• Why thoughts like “my actions don’t matter” are not always accurate and almost always disempowering—and how to let them pass.
• Real stories of ripple effects in climate and wellbeing movements.
• A guided mindfulness practice to connect with your inner nature and boost self-belief.

This session is part of the Climate Courage series—a 10-day journey into mindfulness, eco-resilience, and human sustainability. Together, we’ll nurture inner calm, strengthen our capacity to act, and remind ourselves that we are deeply interconnected: You are nature, and your actions matter.

🔗 If this practice resonates, please share the episode with a friend, colleague, or community group—it could be the start of their ripple effect too.
