47. Working For Well-being For All Beings with Beth Allgood

According to the World Health Organization, the pandemic triggered a 25% increase in the prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide. Today's guest, Beth Allgood, has a suggestion on what could help. She is an expert in well-being but in a very niche way. She looks at the connections that nature and wildlife play toward the well-being of communities. What's really interesting, but concerning though, is how our current systems are designed in a way that doesn't consider well-being nor value the elements that can lead to it. Beth is on a mission to change that through the organization she founded, OneNature. OneNature seeks to transform policies and practices to foster happiness, interconnection, and well-being for all beings. HighlightsHow has being disconnected from nature affected us? How can ignoring the value of well-being in our economic systems actually result in the opposite? How is her work leading to the creation of tools that can result in greater conservation successes? Why is just considering trees, and not wildlife, in wellbeing metrics flawed? What YOU Can DoConnect with nature! If something like hiking is not your thing, even just pausing and listening to birds singing or playing with your dog can increase your levels of well-being.Don't stay isolated for too long.Look for the beauty in the everyday.  ResourcesOneNature Want a free guide to help you become a force for nature?
