...By supporting mothers to parent sustainably
Welcome back to the re-launch of 101 Ways To Save The Planet! We know we've been away for a while, but we're so excited to be back and once again helping all our listeners find their own planet-saving journey. Today, we're diving into a topic that's close to our hearts: Madeleine's journey as a mom and her commitment to being a more sustainable parent. We'll talk about the choices she's making, the challenges she's facing, and the struggle of finding a supportive community. Trust us, it's not always easy, but we'll cover all of it. Listen to the full episode here.

A few key takeaways you'll get from this episode:
Madeleine's vision for the future of mothering in community with other women helping each other to raise our children.
How to be encouraging and compassionate, never judgey, when talking to other mothers about sustainable and conscious parenting.
Being patient with yourself by starting where you are and making smaller, sustainable changes, not comparing your own parenting journey to others.
Our favorite quote:
"I think that you can't protect someone from their own self-inflicting guilt...You can't take responsibility for that." - Madeleine
