Outdoor Minimalist Podcast & Rangers of the Lost Park: Finding Joy in a World of Bad News

Meg Carney, host of Outdoor Minimalist Podcast, and Liz Crandall, host of Rangers of the Lost Park Podcast, team up for an effortless collaboration where they talk about how they both find joy in a world of bad news. As Meg says: it can feel impossible to find joy when the headlines never seem to let up. From attacks on public lands and environmental protections to growing uncertainty for the people who steward these places, many of us are carrying a constant sense of urgency, grief, and overwhelm. But what if joy isn't a distraction from the work? What if joy is what sustains us through it?In this episode, Liz and Meg talk about resilience and the role joy plays in challenging times. Together, they explore how to stay informed without becoming consumed by the news cycle, the importance of caring for ourselves as we advocate for the places we love, and why local action and community connection matter now more than ever.Meg is the creator and host of Outdoor Minimalist, a podcast that raises awareness through conversation, information, and mindfulness regarding some of the most important environmental issues of our time.
