About this listen

 Welcome to Hey Change, the podcast where we grapple with the wisdom of uncertainty and choose inner development as a tool for radical change. Here, we talk about things like behavioral psychology, neuroscience, the power of visualization, climate optimism, and the mindset shifts to drive positive change. Most importantly, we're all for keeping an open-minded and empowering approach to change. Because, as has always been the case, the future is still unwritten and we create our tomorrow today.

    104. The 3 Narrative Shifts that Will Change How You Think About Climate Change
    Jul 29 2025

    What if the stories we tell about climate change are keeping us stuck in fear — instead of moving us into action? In this solo episode, I dive into three narrative shifts that can help us move from overwhelm to opportunity, from minimizing ourselves to maximizing our impact, and from trying to "save the world" to building something better. Whether you're a seasoned changemaker or just waking up to this moment, this one’s for you.


    Key Takeaways:


    1. Fear-based narratives stall action. Most climate messaging today triggers overwhelm, paralysis, and retreat rather than inspired action. We need a new approach.
    2. Narrative Shift #1: Responsibility → Opportunity. It's not your burden to save the world — but it is your opportunity to help build what's next using your unique gifts.
    3. Narrative Shift #2: Minimize Footprint → Maximize Impact. Instead of focusing only on cutting back, ask: How can I show up fully? How can I matter?
    4. Narrative Shift #3: Fix the Old → Build the New. Let the broken systems fall. Our energy is better spent building something beautiful, just, and regenerative in their place.
    5. Inner leadership is essential. We must tend to our mindset, emotions, and sense of purpose — because this work is challenging, and we need to stay grounded and inspired.
