In this episode of Live Sustainably, Anastasia breaks a major myth about sustainable living: that it’s all about scarcity and sacrifice. Instead, she introduces a radical shift — a mindset of abundance rooted in nature’s most powerful rule: thrive on diversity. Discover how embracing your unique strengths, rather than ticking off a list of sustainability "shoulds," can lead to deeper impact, joy, and connection with others. True change doesn’t come from everyone doing the same thing — it comes from each of us doing what we do best.

 

This episode explores:

• Why biodiversity teaches us how to live sustainably

• How comparison and pressure can hold us back

• Why your personal superpowers matter more than perfection

• How to live sustainably by giving, sharing, and being yourself
