Gina sits down to talk with Bonnie Wright who is a director, environmental activist, author, and former actress who played "Ginny" in the Harry Potter movies. She has a deep soul - filled with kindness, humility, and a lot of wisdom.
The conversation covered:
- There is no wrong way to do the right thing.
- The interconnectedness of all things.
- Understanding what you need for your mental health versus comparing to others.
- The environment and mental health are deeply connected.
- The importance of language and narratives and how we talk to ourselves and the climate crisis.
- Accountability because we often feel the only place we are accountable is online, but that should actually be the last place we look for validation and accountability.
- Noticing when it's time to rest and when it's a privilege to rest and pushing through discomfort to take action.
- Dismantling the idea of being a "Perfect Activist."
- The damaging side of the wellness community.
- The balance of input and output.
- The balance of listening and taking action.
- Cycles of life
