Leadership and Yoga Clara Tomé on Combating Convenience and Complacency: Environmental Awareness and Action
Today my guest is Clara Tomé. Clara is a fashion model, environmental activist and a European Union Climate Pact Ambassador. She holds a masters degree in environmental law and has been part of numerous projects including being a Next Gen Assembly member and being a part of the 2023 United Nations Water Conference… all of which has had her featured in everything from Greenpeace to Business Insider. And at the same time she is modeling internationally for all kinds of brands.
As a rough agenda in terms of what to expect if you are listening, we dive into mindlessness and how that negatively impacts not only how we are feeling, but the earth, our home, and what we can do about it.
And then at the end, I ask Clara about her meditation practice and how it has changed since we last spoke.
Clara stands at the intersection of so many things and handles the duality of it all seamlessly. Her life is proof of what happens when you believe in yourself fully, and in your cause fully.
