Jacqui has an approachable way of taking the intimidation out of making sustainable decisions and squashing eco-anxiety. Promoting compassion towards our small contributions can add up to make a big difference! This episode is a fun combination of stats, facts, education and personal experiences with making our own little eco swaps.

"When you speak, you only repeat what you know. When you listen, you might learn something new" - Taje Fowler. During our time spent with Taje Fowler on episode 5 of Misc Minds, we have learnt so much from her positive outlook on life. Join us as we discuss Taje's journey through S7 of the first ever Bi-Sexual Bachorlette, her coming out experience and her passion towards helping grow our community and support our youth and young people. This inspirational episode is all about staying true to yourself, saying goodbye to judgement and encouraging curiosity to gain a closeness to our community.
