Webinar Summary: Sustainable Living and Mindful Habits
by Dalida Turkovic & Alex Pearson
In our recent webinar, two inspiring speakers shared their personal journeys of transitioning to more sustainable and mindful ways of living. Drawing from their experiences of moving from China and starting from scratch in new environments, they offered practical advice and reflections on how small changes can lead to big impacts.
One of our speakers, Alex, highlighted her work in helping both individuals and organizations on the path to sustainability. From designing learning programs for small businesses to consulting with large corporations on reaching net zero, Alex’s approach shows how powerful mindful living can be. She shared everyday practices like making her own cleaning products, reducing plastic usage, and even crafting plant-based milk and tofu at home—all as examples of how sustainable habits can be simple, fun, and rewarding.
The conversation touched on the challenges we face when trying to break old habits and form new, more sustainable ones. Both speakers reflected on the importance of slowing down, being mindful, and appreciating local resources. They emphasized that sustainability isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress, small steps, and finding joy in the process.
An important theme of the webinar was the role that community and coaching can play in supporting individuals through these transitions. As our speakers pointed out, sustainable movements often start at the grassroots level, where collective efforts can spark significant societal change. Coaches, in particular, can be instrumental in helping people navigate these changes with compassion and mindfulness.
The webinar was filled with practical tips and heartfelt stories that encourage us all to reflect on our habits, make intentional choices, and build a more sustainable future—both for ourselves and our communities.
We look forward to continuing this journey together. Stay tuned for our next session, where we will dive deeper into creating sustainable movements and building stronger communities.
