Summary

What happens when everything you’ve built is wiped out overnight?

In this powerful episode of Super Life, Darin Olien sits down with Sheila Morovati, environmental advocate and founder of Habits of Waste, to discuss the devastating impact of wildfires, the emotional and physical toll of rebuilding, and the urgent need for systemic environmental change.

Sheila shares her firsthand experience of losing her home and community overnight, how climate change is making natural disasters more frequent and severe, and why she refuses to let tragedy silence her fight for sustainability.

They explore the psychological aftermath of disaster, why government systems are failing, and how everyday choices—like single-use plastic, construction materials, and policy changes—can shape a more resilient future.
