What can’t moms do?? In this episode, Hilary and Myra sit down with published author and non-profit founder Sheila Morovati to talk about the power of ONE. One mom. One person. BIG CHANGE. You don’t want to miss her easy-to- follow tips for being a big change-making Imperfect Environmentalist. Her story as a woman leader is nothing short of inspiring.

Sheila M. Morovati is the founder of two international nonprofit organizations, Crayon Collection and Habits of Waste and the author of Imperfect Environmentalist. With a degree in Sociology from UCLA, she leverages human behavior and social dynamics to create accessible and innovative climate solutions. Sheila’s impactful contributions include pioneering global legislation, notably the world’s first ban on single-use plastic straws and cutlery. She has fostered systemic change by targeting major corporations, giving everyday individuals the power to make better choices for the planet and inspiring meaningful activism. Her work has been credited with diverting billions of pieces of single-use plastic from the waste stream. She has been featured in People magazine, the LA Times, Buzzfeed, Forbes, Huffington Post, and has appeared on TV shows such as the Kelly Clarkson Show and CBS Sunday Morning. Sheila was born in Tehran, Iran, and immigrated to the US in 1979. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children.
