Episode 0: Welcome to Sisters in a Hot Mess
A podcast about parenting in a climate crisis

In this intro episode, sisters Charlie (a climate lawyer and twin mum in Australia) and Tocky (a UK-based marketeer and new mum) kick off Sisters in a Hot Mess — a podcast for parents trying to raise kids in a world on fire (literally and figuratively).

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Who we are and why we’re doing this
• What "informed optimism" means and why it matters
• How climate change is way more than just “hotter summers”
• Laughs, chaos, swearing, and sisterly bickering
• Our mission: to make climate conversations more honest, hopeful and human

Topics we’ll cover this season:

• Guilt, nappies, and making sustainable choices when you’re in survival mode
• Greenwashing, misinformation, and how to spot the BS
• Feeding your kids (without feeding climate breakdown)
• How climate change affects your child’s health
• Simple, practical “hot tips” at the end of each episode

Listen every second Tuesday for real talk, good laughs, and useful climate parenting insights — no shame, no perfection, just messy progress.
