RESILIENCE: Stories of Renewal. A narrative listening experience + LIVE Climate Shifted podcast launch party
When overwhelm and hopelessness threaten to paralyze climate action, could resilience be a missing link that transforms anxiety into agency?
Join us LIVE for the launch of the Climate Shifted podcast with an immersive audio experience at KALW Radio Station exploring RESILIENCE—not as mere endurance, but as a caring framework for transformative action.
Our narrative listening journey dives into stories of individuals/movements that appear to have gone off track—or just failed completely—only to be re-energized. These stories demonstrate that there is not only hope amidst the despair, but that resilience is a critical part of the solution.
Following our shared listening experience, join a discussion with renowned climate communication experts:
Melinda Briana Epler: Author of "Our Moment is Now" report on best practices in climate Communication
Elizabeth Schussler: Sr. director of social change, behavior, and impact for The Recycling Partnership
And others
Together, we'll explore the mission driving Climate Shifted: How do we get people to care and act on climate when it's easier to look away? Resilience stories provide one powerful answer—showing that collective action isn't just possible, but happening all around us.

With a background in psychology and years as a strategist at Two Hands Brands, Eva approaches climate communication as both a science and an art. Her work at the intersection of brand strategy and behavioral psychology informs Climate SHIFTED's approach—uncovering what actually works to move the needle on collective action. As co-founder of Two Hands Brands, Eva brings storytelling expertise that bridges the gap between climate science and human motivation.
