From Your Host: Season’s Reflections and Q&A

Written By alexa firmenich

“At the heart of it all is a simple truth: the way we frame the world, the mindset we bring, is as vital as the actions we take. This podcast exists to nurture that frame, to open doorways into a deeper relationality with this wildly alive planet. As we grapple with the challenges of global breakdowns, returning life to ecosystems and wholeness to ourselves, I hope Lifeworlds can be a steady hand, guiding you toward what feels sacred and true.”

- Alexa Firmenich

 

SYNOPSIS:

In this episode, I share some reflections on Season 2 before diving into our very first listener-guided Q&A! You’ll be hearing from fellow listeners around the world who enquired on a range of topics like:

  • Earth-centered governance

  • The ethics of de-extinction

  • Alternative economies

  • Language and the stories we tell about nature

  • Which lifeworld I’d inhabit (a tricky one!)

  • Green tech and the role of individual agency

  • Bringing CEOs into the wild and regenerative business frameworks

  • And the ever-elusive question: What is the purpose of humans?

Thank you to everyone who sent in these thought-provoking questions—this episode is for you!! Settle in, dear friends—let’s begin.
