Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Could this literary genre help protect the planet? With author Helen Phillips
Q: Did the plot speak to personal experiences you've had with pressures of motherhood or the pressures of motherhood you've seen?
Yes, motherhood and the desire to connect with family are central themes; the book explores how economic and technological pressures strain those relationships, while also emphasizing the urge to safeguard children and the natural world.
How to feed a starving glacier, with glaciologist M Jackson
Q: What is a glacier?
A glacier is a large, persistent body of ice formed from snow that compacts and recrystallizes over time; it flows slowly and represents a stored frozen water system that shapes landscapes.
Feel lost in eco-anxiety? Find your way with social scientist Katharine K. Wilkinson’s Climate Wayfinding method
Q: What is your dream outcome for readers of Climate Wayfinding and for the climate movement as a whole?
Her dream is that the book acts as nourishment that circulates through communities, empowering people to create spaces of belonging and nourishment around climate work, turning care into durable contribution and enabling thousands of small, concrete steps that compound into sustained engagement.
Feel lost in eco-anxiety? Find your way with social scientist Katharine K. Wilkinson’s Climate Wayfinding method
Q: There are many frameworks in your book and program; is there one that you especially love or found most transformative to learn?
She highlights the 'inward, outward, forward' framework and the Eight Dynamics of Climate Engagement as core structures that have helped participants move from anxiety and paralysis toward clarity, connection, and courageous action, while acknowledging some parts may feel 'woo' to some but remain practically useful for most people.
Feel lost in eco-anxiety? Find your way with social scientist Katharine K. Wilkinson’s Climate Wayfinding method
Q: Katharine, what brought you to this conversation on climate emotion and the Climate Wayfinding framework?
Katharine explains that her work grew from long-term engagement with climate stories, leadership, and the need for practical, inward-outward-forward practices that help people sustain action without burning out. The framework emerged from both lived experience and tested programs that move people from overwhelm to clear, purposeful engagement.
