Ep. 64- Creating A Cleaner And Greener Planet with Kathryn Ford Richter, The Solar RN

Who better than a registered nurse to educate on important environmental issues?

Have you ever stopped to consider what type of impact your daily choices have on your community, much less the entire planet?

I’m certain that Covid 19 has forced you to change how you live and hopefully has caused you to reflect on how you want to LIVE going forward.

So many disruptions have occurred as well as many inconveniences, all the things we have taken for granted we are learning to cultivate gratitude for.

I believe the only way through this is together and the more individuals can consider the planet and their communities when making decisions, the better off we will all be.

Whether you have considered public health and the environment as important endeavors up until now is irrelevant.

If you weren’t aware, Covid 19 is a massive wake up call from the planet!

If you can’t tell, she is begging for our attention and demanding we change our ways in order to live in safety and harmony on this beautiful Earth.

Our current reality is a wonderful opportunity to gain clarity on what really matters at the end of the day.

Public health and environmental issues have never been so important.

Who better than nurses to help support and shine a light on these two very important issues?

Nurses are well positioned to take a leadership role in public and environmental matters.

Today’s Divine Download’s podcast episode with Kathryn Ford Richter, The Solar RN exemplifies how nurses can really do and become whoever they chose as long as they are willing to do the work.

Tune in to learn easy ways you too can become a better steward of the earth starting with baby steps like recycling.

Learn how Kathryn was able to get our of her own way and pursue Solar power as a nurse entrepreneur even though she was so passionate about other areas in her work.

One of my favorite truth bombs from Kathryn:

"Whatever specialty you’re in and how you’re practicing nursing, it’s all lessons. Keep going until you find it and it’s aligned."
