Summary

Welcome to a brand new season of All The Small Things! It's a joy to be back.

This week, I'm chatting to Willow Defebaugh. Willow is the co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of Atmos, which is a stunning and thought provoking biannual magazine focused on the exploration of climate and culture. Willow writes a weekly newsletter called The Overview which offers a holistic look at life on Earth through the lens of deep ecology. Her work has been featured in V Magazine, L’Officiel USA, Vogue US i-D, The Guardian, Them and the BBC, to name just a few.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of surrender, especially in terms of nature and the seasons, how our passion is our purpose, our insatiable need for fashion trends, the importance of creating boundaries that prioritise joy meaning activism can be truly sustainable and long-lasting, how Willow's transness has informed her environmentalism and much more.
