Claire - Transforming climate grief. Bringing together community for a climate playgroup. Overcoming nerves to speak to the national media.

Claire works in social policy, her love of people and social equality sparked her interest in unusual climate work - starting a climate playgroup.

What is a climate playgroup? For Claire, it's a way for her community to explore what a good future life might look like. She was also inspired and supported by the group to take the nerve-wracking step of speaking to the national media on climate. She was surprised how she felt after taking that leap!

After her toddler was born, Claire grappled with climate grief but she is managing to take it from something that paralysed her to something that drives her, hear how she transformed her grief.

This episode is in partnership with Australian Parents 4 Climate Action.
