Can you turn your tragedy into triumph? Well Liz Cunningham did just that. During this interview, Liz tells an engaging story about her journey from peril to hope, to save the seas. Despite the damage done to the world’s oceans, Liz finds plenty of people along the way who are fighting back. Liz joins them, and, with this interview invites us to join the fight as well.
Have the Passion and Be the Change
Liz Cunningham nearly lost her life after being swallowed by a rogue wave in a kayaking accident. After the accident, she was temporarily paralyzed and left with a sense of despair and alienation from the waters that used to give her solace and healing. This accident caused her to reassess her work and she vowed to reconnect with the ocean and recover hope – hope for her and for the earth’s ailing waters. Liz now realizes that her greatest passion was to help others connect with nature and inspire them to participate in forging a sustainable future.
In Ocean Country, Liz shares her 2 year global journey to discover how communities and individuals are fighting to save the marine world and how they are creating hope through action in tough times.
Liz’s main strategy to finding hope was not “…actually finding “hope”, but finding people who show you what hope can be.” During this interview, Liz tells us that people are realizing that the game is changing; business as usual is no more. All around the world people have an innate sense to rescue and to make sure that life thrives and that is starting to be seen in sustainable practices.
Liz and her book, Ocean Country, call us to action. “Focus on what you care about. Go out and get something done.” Liz leads us to find true hope in the midst of great crises.
