Tackling Sustainability Overwhelm

From Straight Talking Sustainability Emma Burlow

Feeling totally swamped by sustainability? 

You're not alone. 

In this episode, I’m getting straight to the point about why so many of us are stuck in a cycle of burnout, blank stares from the boardroom, and to-do lists that never shrink. 

It’s not you - it’s the impossible expectations. 

I’m breaking down the real reasons behind sustainability overwhelm and sharing a practical way to start regaining control, one small permanent shift at a time.

Highlights: 

(00:46) Sustainability overwhelm is real

(01:55) ESG isn’t a side hustle

(03:30) You’re not supposed to know everything

(06:28) The pressure’s ridiculous and the expectations are off the charts

(07:35) That to-do list? It’s not ever getting “done”- and that’s OK

(10:06) Chunk it down and start with one small change

(12:22) People matter: rally your crew

(15:30) Don’t waste energy on things that look good but do nothing
