“For me, resiliency can be about learning to be okay with feeling opposing emotions at the same time. I understand that my capacity to hold complex and at times opposing emotional states is a reflection of my growing capacity to hold the complexity of the world without becoming completely overwhelmed by it. I can feel frustration, anger, and grief about climate change while simultaneously feeling grounded, inspired, passionate, and encouraged about my ability to affect positive change because I feel the power and healing support of building community each day.”
