S2 Ep2: GOOD NEWS ONLY!

Hello fellow Climate Queens, 

We are back after a two month hiatus. We hibernated alongside the rest of the world during this unprecedented time and have emerged in this new digital age with our very first episode recorded over Zoom! Woop! 

We have decided to bring you an episode dedicated to only good news. In a time when we are bombarded with often deeply upsetting news, we didn't want to add to that but in fact bring you an antidote with a fun, positive episode where we share some of our favourite good news stories from the last few weeks, over a cup of tea (of course). So please join us for half an hour, take a deep breath and know that we are in this together and we will come through the other side. 

Big love, 

Katie & Clo
