This week on The Women’s Current, we’re joined by Harriet Shugarman (Climate Mama) for a conversation about climate, motherhood, activism, and the generations that will inherit what we leave behind.
Because climate change isn’t only about science or politics.
It’s also about responsibility.
Community.
Fear.
Hope.
And the everyday choices that ripple outward into the future.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why motherhood became Harriet’s turning point into climate advocacy
• How younger generations are carrying both urgency and anxiety
• Why guilt can paralyze action—and what actually moves people forward
• What women bring to leadership, activism, and intergenerational change
• How hope becomes something we practice—not just something we feel
A moment that stays with us:
“All of a sudden it came to me, as a mother, that the world my children were growing up in wasn’t safe.”
This isn’t a conversation about perfection.
It’s about connection.
About showing up.
About what happens when women stop waiting for someone else to fix things.
Listen if you’ve ever asked:
What are we leaving behind?
How do we stay hopeful without denying reality?
What can one person actually do?
How do generations work together instead of apart?
What Are We Leaving Behind?
