Got hope? with Elin Kelsey

How do you feel when you think about the environment?

Fearful? Anxious? Helpless? Hopeless?

Totally normal. That’s where Elin Kelsey and hope come in. Elin is an award winning author, educator, and climate scholar who is on a mission to help us feel less hopeless about the current state of the planet and inspires us to seek evidence based hope, not fear, as a tool for change. 

Listen to this insightful, energizing and sometimes surprising interview – including a hot tub scene with the legendary David Attenborough – and hear Elin’s answers to questions such as:

  • How do we motivate the unmotivated?
  • How do we re-engage the disengaged?
  • Where do we find hopeful, solutions-based journalism?

Enjoy the conversation with Elin and host Brittany Gawley (@brittanygawley) and if you have someone in your circle who might benefit from hearing all the ways hope can help us – share it with them! Our next episode features Dr. Bal Pawa, author of the Mind Body Cure discussing chronic stress and what we can do about it.

Until then, stay curious!
