Episode notes
About the episode:
Today we talk to the wonderful founder of The Brighter Times, Lydia French, about why she founded a one-stop online home of good news with a mission to transform journalism (and perhaps the readers) for the better through positive news stories and upbeat illustrations. We chat about what she worries about and is optimistic about for our children and our children's children, the empathy gap, the environment, climate activism and denial, technology, the importance of play, celebrating victories and welcoming failures, the struggle to stay positive, gratitude practices, strong women, creative design collaborations with the WWF, and much much more!
