Hello and Welcome!
I want to invite you in to a majestic place! A world where a decision to quit plastics leads to a magical showering of blessings. Not immediately will your eyes be focused to see these good fortunes. It may take you some time to realise the incredible benefits a totally natural, package-free, de-toxified, non-consumer lifestyle. It may take a moment to integrate the changes and adjust your expectations and experience the beauty of this lifestyle switch. Of this ethical levelling up.
My journey was hilarious, ungraceful, empowering, and enlightening. I have pulled all of the learnings into this course for you to grow and be supported on this path. I so look forward to sharing this magic and adventuring into the unknown with you as we break down consumption conditioning and plastic programming FOR GOOD!
About Me
Ten years ago when I learned plastic doesn't break down from Jacques Cousteau's Ocean Future Society, I quit plastics. I started a non-profit with my besties in California, where we successfully lobbied our local, city, and state councils (as mermaids) to ban plastic bags. I worked in marine debris labs studying plastics' behaviour in the ocean. I was Marketing Director for the first recycled plastic activewear line. I continued to write, push, and promote policy. I surfed heaps, sailed regularly, and got into freediving which kept my ocean connection thriving. I learned heaps, and what continued coming up was how much people wanted to be a part of the solution, but didn't know HOW. So I started sharing my plastic-free ways. I've since become a plastic science communicator presenting at conferences the world over, working on global plastics campaigns with amazing organisations including Greenpeace International, wrote a book, launched multiple courses, and worked with the likes of Gucci, Russell Brand, Marie Claire, and Sydney Morning Herald to get the word out about plastics.
Welcome to this course. So excited to meet you!
