Join the Climate Optimist Cohort
Shift the narratives on climate change and reclaim your relationship with the future
Hi + Welcome!
I’m looking for passionate individuals interested in joining a cohort where we build resiliency in the face of climate change, activate our inner leadership, and unlock narrative shifts for radical change.
Is this you?
This program is for you who:
Consider yourself a leader in this space, whether you're a community organizer, founder, teacher, parent, facilitator, or simply someone who cares about climate change and wants to positively impact those around you.
Refuse to give in to hopelessness and despair, and trust there are ways out there to make meaningful changes in our lifetime.
Want to find ways to lead and inspire - yourself and others - and speed up progress in climate politics, social norms, and sustainable solutions.
Identify as a visionary and creative (a changemaker), but who sometimes feels stuck in the face of our climate crisis, and unable to get past mental blocks.
Wants to actively participate in co-creating a just, regenerative, and sustainable world.
*Only serious applications. You have to apply to be accepted! Membership is $20/month.

Why should I pay for this? I’m glad you asked! And the answer is pretty straightforward:
Facilitating this community requires both time and energy — resources that are especially precious to me as a mom of two little ones. I want to be upfront from the start that I need to charge for my time and the energy I bring to making this community what it can be.
What you pay for, you commit to. In other words: by investing in this community, you will show up in a whole different way -- for yourself, your leadership, and other members inside our cohort. A paid cohort is an accountability metric!

If you find yourself in a financial bind and unable to meet the membership fee as it currently stands, please send me a message and explain your situation!
