About this listen

What if the future isn’t something that just happens to us, but something we can shape right now? What if the systems we live under weren’t about having power over, but caring for? The world we know was imagined once. So what happens if we start imagining something better? Welcome to What If, a Futurists podcast, hosted by Daydriane.

  • What if our climate was in harmony with itself again? (with Cheyenne Kippenberger)
    Dec 19 2025

    Climate on our planet is changing faster than our systems can respond. Our rising temperatures and unnatural disasters are treated as environmental problems instead of human ones. But what if climate wasn't something to manage or to survive? What if it was a relationship we were responsible for stewarding?


    In this episode, Cheyenne Kippenberger and Daydriane explore what becomes possible when Indigenous tradition and knowledge guide how we care for the earth.
