Join us for a special EnvAns Podcast Live episode during Mental Health Awareness Month as we welcome Rebecca Vidra (she/her), Senior Lecturer of Marine Conservation and Ethics at Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment.In this powerful and reflective conversation, we explore what it means to engage in environmental work with not just technical skill, but with heart, purpose, and resilience. Titled “The Mind for It,” this episode looks closely at how we navigate the emotional terrain of climate work—the space between hope and despair, action and uncertainty—and how those working on the frontlines of conservation can sustain their mental and emotional well-being.Rebecca shares her perspective on ethical coastal restoration, building equity into environmental decision-making, and why creating space for civil discourse and character development in the classroom is so essential for the next generation of environmental leaders. She also reflects on the personal rituals that keep her grounded, including long walks by the ocean with her daughters, mindful cooking, yoga, and conversations that nourish a sense of resilient hope.This episode is for anyone grappling with the weight of environmental challenges—and wondering how to stay mentally strong and purpose-driven in the work.📅 Don’t miss this timely and honest conversation at the intersection of mental health, ethics, and environmental leadership.
