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

grateful for whatever form or level of support that you're able to share with us.

by mainstream media. So if you value these conversations, you can reciprocate support for us,

starting from a gift of $2 at greendreamer.com slash support. And if you want the references and

takeaways from each episode sent to you, you can sign up to our weekly newsletter at greendreamer.com.
