TRANSCRIPT



Chloe Brotheridge: Hello. Welcome to the ‘Calmer You’
Podcast. This is your host Chloe Brotheridge. Thanks so much for listening. I
am a coach, a hypnotherapist, and an author of two books. ‘The anxiety
solution’, and ‘Brave New Girl’, which is all about confidence. So, thanks for
listening today. I can't wait for you to hear this conversation. I got one of
my good friends on the podcast Dr. Emily Lines. She is a lecturer in
environmental science at Queen Mary University in London. She studies trees a
lot, she's got a big interest in trees, and with all the things happening with
the Amazon rainforest. How upset so many of us were about the fact that it was
being cut down, and burned.



I
really wanted to talk to her about her work, and
get her advice and insights about things that we can do when it comes to the
planet. Because in the UK, 85% of us are concerned about climate change, and
that can really lead to anxiety for a lot of people. I have experienced my own
moments of anxiety. I really wanted to have this conversation because I just
think it's the most important topic of our lives, essentially. So, Emily and I
get into what we can do to make things better when it comes to the planet. How
we can channel our anxiety into action to actually improve the world, and make
it a better place.



We talk about, why we
shouldn't beat ourselves up because this is one of those topics where it could
be so easy to obsess over things or really worry or beat ourselves up
about  buying something in plastic. She
shares why that isn't the way to go about it, and why we shouldn't take on
