Preparing for Wildfires: Getting Honest About Climate Change and Imperfect Advocacy

In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with Lizzie Peyton, Director of Big Sky SNO (Sustainability Network Organization), to talk about wildfire preparedness, living with wildfire risk, and what it means to be an imperfect advocate for climate change.

If you or someone you love lives in an area prone to wildfires or natural disasters, this conversation offers practical steps for preparing your home, creating a safety plan, and reducing anxiety around fire season. Even if wildfire season feels far away, it’s never too early to understand your risks and build confidence through preparation. 

Elizabeth and Lizzie also speak candidly about the emotional side of climate change––how to show up, take meaningful action, and make lifestyle choices that align with your values, without needing to be perfect. This is a grounded, compassionate conversation for anyone wanting to care for the planet while also caring for themselves.
