77. What is Eco Anxiety? with Margo Stoney

In episode 77 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we discuss eco-anxiety. If you’re someone that experiences anxiety regularly, then you may relate to this episode quite a lot. And while anxiety, in general, can come from a variety of places, eco-anxiety is defined as the “extreme worry about current and future harm to the environment caused by human activity and climate change.”

I am not a psychologist, and neither is my guest; however, we are individuals who have experienced eco-anxiety and adopted ways to manage it in our daily lives. Because of our first-hand experience, we felt comfortable diving into this topic and sharing how it has impacted our lives. The information shared is not meant to diagnose or eliminate anxiety for listeners. If you are struggling with anxiety or other mental health concerns, we recommend seeking guidance from a therapist or other mental health professional.

With that, I’d like to introduce today’s guest: Margo Stoney.

Margo is a Montana-based graphic designer and runs a design studio called High Mountain Creative. She helps conservation nonprofits and sustainable-minded brands increase their impact through visual storytelling. She’s a small business member of the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics and is a proud participant of the “Adopt-a-highway” litter pickup program in Montana. She’s collaborated with nonprofits like The Nature Conservancy, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and The National Forest Foundation.
