TRANSCRIPT



Chloe Brotheridge: Hello. Welcome to the ‘Calmer You’
Podcast. This is your host Chloe Brotheridge. Thanks so much for listening. I
am a coach, a hypnotherapist, and an author of two books. ‘The anxiety
solution’, and ‘Brave New Girl’, which is all about confidence. So, thanks for
listening today. I can't wait for you to hear this conversation. I got one of
my good friends on the podcast Dr. Emily Lines. She is a lecturer in
environmental science at Queen Mary University in London. She studies trees a

get into what we can do to make things better when it comes to the planet. How
we can channel our anxiety into action to actually improve the world, and make
it a better place.



We talk about, why we
shouldn't beat ourselves up because this is one of those topics where it could
be so easy to obsess over things or really worry or beat ourselves up
about buying something in plastic. She
shares why that isn't the way to go about it, and why we shouldn't take on
