When we tend to our inner gardens, we are better able to transform the outer world. Inner work is something our last guest of the season, Center for Food Safety Executive Director Andrew Kimbrell believes we must prioritize in order to be effective activists. This episode covers a wide scope of topics. Andrew and Ashley discuss his heroic journey from pianist to lawyer, the impact of his mentors, his path to the Supreme Court, the need to transition environmental law to criminal law, how a war against nature will always be a war against ourselves, and what keeps him hopeful. This episode also goes deep, covering the intrinsic value of music, why activists must fall in love, what it means to shift the collective consciousness, why we need to view ourselves as creators instead of consumers, and so much more.
