In this raw and powerful solo episode, Katie Zakrzewski lays it all bare. After 54 wildfires ripped across Arkansas—one of which devastated the historic St. Joseph Center in North Little Rock—Katie reflects on climate change, grief, frustration, and what it means to be a young conservative environmentalist in a world that keeps burning while those in power keep denying. This one hits close to home—literally. Katie shares the personal significance of the St. Joseph Center, the sacred history it carried, and how it became a refuge during a difficult chapter of Katie's life after being laid off from Citizens Climate Lobby. Now it’s gone. But Katie doesn’t just sit in the ashes—she asks: What do we do now? 🔥 Topics Covered: The shocking rise of wildfires in Arkansas The destruction of the 115-year-old St. Joseph Center Climate denial and conservative inaction Grief, anger, and spiritual doubt in the face of loss The challenge of staying hopeful and motivated Self-care as a radical act of resistance 🛠️ Action Steps This Week: Take care of yourself: nap, shower, clean one room, watch birds, eat something you love Put your phone down and go to bed 30 minutes earlier Be gentle with yourself—especially if no one else is Remember: you caring might be the one thing keeping evil from winning 🔗 Links and Resources: St. Joseph Center of Arkansas – Donation Page (if available) Katie's article about the St Joseph Center fire More info on Arkansas wildfires Join the Conversation! 📧 Email us: info@greenteapartyradio.com📲 Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (X), and TikTok🎧 Want early access to episodes & exclusive merch?
