8. How loving life and having fun is the key to a sustainable way of caring for our planet -- Suze Wood (Ethical Cheerleader)

Suze Wood is one of the most inspiring people we've met and even
makes mom tear up during this interview!


In this episode, Suze talks about how she loved the world and
exploring it when she was young and found the it such an amazing
place. She remembers naturally wanting to take care of it because
she was so in love with life! Then she grew up and inherited a
list of shoulds and shouldn’ts in regards to how you should live.
She went from enjoying being alive and naturally wanting to take
care of the planet, to feeling like it was something she SHOULD
do (just like she should work hard at school or fit in with her
peers). She started carrying a burden and a heavy sense of
responsibility of needing to do the right thing.


Then on a six month traveling experience, it was like she was a
kid and she fell in love with the world all over again. She
realized THAT was how she wanted to live; in a state of fun,
curiosity, and love for life. She wanted to take care of the
world again because she loved it. She discovered that if we love
doing something, we’re going to naturally keep on doing it. This
internal motivation is always more successful than an external
one. It also makes it so much more attractive to other people and
encourages them.


We also touch on how many of us have forgotten how to have fun,
the fact that living ethically can be uncomfortable, and how Suze
lets her values drive the causes she supports. It's an interview
filled to the brim with amazing insights. Our time with Suze has
truly changed the way my mom and I view the world. We hope you
get as much out of it as we have.
