Heather Goldstone on Doing the Next Right Thing

Heather Goldstone, a scientist turned storyteller, makes it her life’s mission to motivate people to act on climate. She joins host Eric Benson to dig into what actually makes a good day: the kind of curiosity and meaningful work that gives you more spiritual energy than it takes. For Heather, that means pushing climate action forward and building the communities that back political movements. She also cautions that fixating on big, long-term goals can spiral into feeling like you're never doing enough, and how just doing the next right thing can string good days into a good life.

Heather Goldstone is currently a senior fellow at Woodwell Climate Research Center. She best describes herself as a scientist turned storyteller. Heather is an awesome mom. community leader, and, very motivated to build community and better future for our kids. You can learn more about her work at the Woodwell Climate Research Center where you will also find her podcast Not a Climate Scientist. Heather was recognized for the breadth of her work with WGBH’s Margret and Hans Rey/Curious George Producer award.
