Season 4, Episode 1: Finding My Voice for the Planet (Again) – Because advocacy starts with using the voice you've got—even if it's imperfect
After a season of silence for healing, Karen Auld is back behind the mic with a full heart and a mending voice. In this joyful relaunch of The Imperfect Advocate, Karen shares her deeply personal journey through vocal cord surgery, a painful bout of COVID, and the slow, steady return of her voice—physically and metaphorically.
Karen also revisits why she started the podcast in the first place. She highlights three powerful quotes that shaped the show’s mission—reminding us that love, not guilt, is the most renewable resource we have.
Whether you’re an eco-optimist, a recovering perfectionist, or just someone who loves birds (especially crows), this heartfelt welcome-back episode is for you.
Call to Action:
What do you love? What small, imperfect action have you taken for the planet that makes you feel proud? Karen wants to hear from you—head over to her socials and join the conversation.
