Healing Ourselves and the Planet with Katharine Wilkinson and Uncle Pappy

When real and internal maps come up short, and the path ahead is uncertain, how do we find our way? In her new book “Climate Wayfinding," Dr. Katharine Wilkinson (co-founder of the All We Can Save Project) offers a compassionate and empowering guide for navigating through ache to action, doubt to possibility. Whether we’re steeped in climate or newly curious, we can look inward with care, outward with curiosity, and forward with courage to shape our unique contributions to healing the planet we call home.  In Florida, social media star Uncle Pappy blends his unique mix of philosophy, humor, and love of nature into his own brand of inspirational messages.  “I feel a moral imperative to nature to try to remind people of how incredible it is, and at the same time, I feel a moral imperative to people to remind them of how incredible nature is.”  Guests: Katharine Wilkinson, Author, “Climate Wayfinding;” Co-founder & Executive Director, The All We Can Save Project Blair Carlyle (aka Uncle Pappy), Instagram influencer; Law student For show notes, transcript, and related links, visit https://www.climateone.org/podcasts Highlights: 00:00 – Intro 04:15 – Katharine Wilkinson’s climate journey 10:45 – Climate is big, global, multifaceted, yet impacts are close and intimate 17:45 – How to transform overwhelming grief into power, joy, and meaning 21:00 – Answering the question, “What can I do?” 29:15 – Reading of the poem “Equinox" by Tamiko Byer 33:00 – How Blair Carlyle, aka Uncle Pappy, pivoted to environmental subjects 36:15 – Carlyle’s Connection to the outdoors 40:00 – “Pappy is the realest version of me, the version I aspire to be” 45:00 – Carlyle on reaching people of all political beliefs, regardless of their climate views 53:30 – Climate One More Thing ********** Support Climate One by going ad-free!
