Summary

Christiana Figueres joins Rainn Wilson to dig deep into fossil fuels, climate change, eco anxiety, spirituality, self-love, and what it really means to become “stubbornly optimistic” in a collapsing world. From the Paris Climate Agreement to her own battle with suicidal thoughts, Christiana unpacks the connection between personal healing and planetary healing, and why humanity’s future depends on changing our relationship with nature and ourselves. This episode explores climate justice, renewable energy, emotional resilience, mindfulness, activism burnout, and the spiritual path forward in a time of global crisis.
