About this listen

Welcome to Why We Care, the podcast where together we explore our relationship with the natural world, to better understand how intertwined nature is with our daily lives – but also to rekindle our sense of wonder towards it. We dive into what our separation from nature means, and take a look at practical ways to restore and nurture this vital relationship.


Hear from the people at the heart of the environmental movement, all around the world – scientists, activists, and campaigners but also artists and storytellers, who are all relentlessly advocating for change. I hope these conversations will inspire you to challenge the status quo, and give you hope. Thank you for tuning in, and sending you lots of love!

  • These women will fill you with hope, with Ronda Carnegie, Co-Founder of Project Dandelion
    Feb 18 2026

    In today’s episode I’m speaking with Ronda Carnegie, the Executive Director and Co-Founder of Project Dandelion, a global women-led climate campaign that amplifies the leadership of those most impacted by the climate crisis and most equipped to drive change. Ronda was also previously part of the original executive team at TED, where she helped transform the organisation from a single conference into a global media company.


    We spoke about her approach to leadership and how to overcome imposter syndrome, and she also shared why the dandelion was chosen as a symbol for her organisation, and the stories of the women she works with all around the globe.


    This episode is filled with hope, solutions and optimism - hope you will enjoy listening to it! Thanks so much for tuning in!

  • How to romanticise winter with Rosie Steer, Author of Slow Seasons
    Dec 17 2025

    In today’s episode I’m speaking with Rosie Steer, an author and photographer based in Edinburgh. A few years ago I came across Rosie’s book in my local bookshop and ever since it has become one of those comfort books I keep going back to. The book is an invitation to reconnect with the natural world and align with the rhythms of the seasons and the Celtic Wheel of the Year. It is filled with reflections as well as craft ideas, recipes and seasonal celebrations inspired by ancient traditions.


    When I was planning this new season of the podcast I felt like an episode with Rosie would be perfect for this time of year - as I personally always long for more balance between the busy, festive days of December and the long, quieter winter months that follow. Rosie shared her advice on how to slow down and align with the seasons, but also how to honour and make the most of the colder months - how to romanticise winter and bring light into the darkness.


    Recording this conversation was so comforting and cosy, so I hope you will enjoy listening to it! Make yourself a cup of your favourite tea and wrap yourself in a warm blanket before we dive in!! Happy holidays and see you in the new year, sending love <3

  • Can kids help us fall back in love with nature? with Bonnie Wright, Actress, activist and founder of Hello Earthling
    Nov 19 2025

    In today’s episode I’m speaking with actress and activist Bonnie Wright – we discussed her new project, Hello Earthling, a platform that focuses on helping children foster their relationship with nature and never let go of their sense of wonder and playfulness. We talked about how being around kids can remind us to take ourselves less seriously and use our imagination. Bonnie also shared memories from her own childhood, and reflected on the evolution of her activism throughout the years.


    I hope you will enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we enjoyed recording it!
