ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What makes for a perfect environmentalist? Does it even exist?
For our third episode of There Will Be Dancing, Odette and Victoria explore this question with special guest Kathryn Nelson (aka the ‘Plastic Free Mermaid’), author of I Quit Plastics.
Kathryn's work is a blend of playfulness and protest; she’s created countless DIY beauty and skincare recipes, petitioned local governments, and has recently become a mother.
Kathryn has garnered quite a following, and remains open and honest with her community. Join us for a conversation about environmental activism, a bit of mermaid chat, and as always, dancing.
We’re also thrilled to share a contribution today from Carly Dober, who reads a reflection called, A Psychologist’s Advice for Showing Up in a World That Feels Constantly On Fire.
We hope this episode inspires and emboldens listeners to make changes for their community and planet, without being tripped up by ideas of perfection along the way.
