Great piece Annette - I have worked a lot in the climate sector and with climate and other activists and the burnout is the same the world over. For me, there was a lot to unpack in that and also a lot still to learn about how we can create that shift in new ways. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Ali, so good as always to have you stop by! I don't know about a eureka moment, but I definitely seem to be finding my way back to ideas close to my heart after a long time spent drifting. Thank you for the support x
