I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent

podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those

considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question.

So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out.

We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast.

And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at

camaya.substack.com or through a one-time

donation at greendreamer.com slash support. It really means a lot to have you here and we're so

Green Dreamer is supported by our listener patrons.

And to be honest, my goal is to have at least 10% or just one in 10 of our regular listeners

And we have ways to go until we reach that point.

So if you've been finding our work valuable and you're able to support the

show starting at just $2 per month, like a simple morning's cup of tea, you can head to

greendreamer.com slash support to learn more. And thank you so much if you're already a supporter of the
