      Author, Speaker, Podcast Guest, Occasional Standup Comedy

      My deep love of Earth, as well as my hope for a bright future for my children, fuel my passion for responding to the challenges of our time with heart, hope, humor, and spiritual practice. I speak and write to share my experiences about teetering between Earth-mindfulness and eco-madness, not because I've got it all figured out, but in solidarity with anyone else who's fumbling along the path of more conscientious living. I’m the author of Love Earth Now, winner of a silver Nautilus Book Award winner, it's a book that encourages us all to “Discover What You Can Do.” Drawing from my experience as a geologist, environmental law attorney, Modern Day Priestess, and mother, I share my own stories—and struggles—to live more eco-conscientiously. Each chapter includes a “Love Earth Invitation,” a mindfulness exercise for the reader.Not another “To-Do List for the Planet,” it’s a playbook to inspire all who are trying to figure out what we have the time, the talents and the resources to do for our planet.
