Earth Day is here—and it’s not about doing it perfectly, it’s about doing something. In this episode, I chat with Lisa Allen, founder of Good Spark, about how small, soulful shifts in our daily routines can make a big impact. From her childhood spent gold panning and camping to her creative work at Disney and now running a sustainability-centered shop, Lisa’s journey reminds us that conscious living doesn’t have to feel like a burden. We talk everyday joy, low-waste swaps, and why kindness is the most underrated form of sustainability.
Topics Covered:
- How Lisa’s childhood shaped her connection to nature and simplicity.
- What she learned working in corporate America about waste and burnout.
- The inspiration behind her sustainable shop, Good Spark.
- Simple, joyful ways to live more consciously—without guilt.
- How sustainability and creativity go hand in hand.
- Shifting from "shoulds" to aligned, values-driven choices.
- Why kindness, community, and connection matter more than perfection.
- Practical Earth Day tips anyone can implement—no backyard required.
Here are some actions you can take, whether you have 5 minutes or 50:
- If you have 5 minutes, read this article from Good Good Good called “33 ideas to celebrate Earth Day meaningfully.”
- If you have 50 minutes, I have a podcast episode from the show Across the Sky called “Earth Day: Stories of people, climate, and hope.”
