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
