Communities of Influence - With Jen Gale
About this episode
In this episode, I’m joined by Jen Gale, a sustainability advocate who knows what it’s like to navigate the everyday challenges of green living.
From starting her journey with a year of “buying nothing new” to founding the online community Sustainable-ish, Jen shares how she found her passion for making eco-conscious choices feel accessible (and a bit less intimidating) for all of us.
Together, we explore ways to nudge sustainable choices into the mainstream—without the guilt trip. Jen offers insights into the power of small actions, the value of imperfect efforts, and why we don’t all need to be experts to make a difference.
If you’re curious about making sustainability a part of your life without overhauling it overnight, this episode is for you.
