Summary

On this special episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie sits down with environmentalist, author, and activist Leah Thomas (aka @greengirlleah) for a heartfelt conversation about caring for the planet in a way that centers people. What first drew Brie to Leah was her soft, joyful approach to sustainability; educating without shame and action rooted in love. Together, they explore how environmentalism isn’t just about trees and carbon footprints, but about clean water, safe communities, and making sure everyone has access to a healthy place to live. Leah shares how her journey began with a love for animals and evolved into a powerful mission of intersectional environmentalism and the belief that we can’t protect the planet without also protecting marginalized communities. The two dive into climate anxiety, sustainable fashion, crafting with kids, and how small, realistic steps at home can create meaningful change. It’s honest, grounding, and deeply inspiring. This episode is a reminder that we are not separate from nature, we are part of it. Healing the Earth starts with how we treat each other, our neighborhoods, and ourselves. Press play for a conversation that will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and ready to care for our shared home in a whole new way.
