“I have suffered from anxiety most of my life and, for me, natural disasters and those huge, scary headlines about the planet that seem so far out of our control have always been a trigger. But I find that one of the best treatments is action and trying to take back any control we do have, however small.

“Combining that with the best thing about being a journalist: having a platform from which to spread a positive message – I wanted to be a supportive, helpful and practical voice for anyone feeling uncertain and wanting to be more sustainable. The more I’ve delved into the topic, the more passionate I’ve become.
