Show Notes
Isabel Losada is someone who really puts her money where her mouth is. Having decided to live more ethically, she took herself to task and worked to change every element of her life – from what she wears, to who she banks with, and what she eats. Her book “The Joyful Environmentalist” provides us all with a humorous and, yes, joyful take on how we can all make similar changes to our lives.
She and Stephanie discuss the simple steps we can take to live in ways that support rather than destroy our planet. We learn about how to find real joy in living ethically, how it can help us save money and how to prioritise what really matters to us in life.
In a world where we can feel constantly driven to buy, consume and waste, Isabel is a true inspiration.
