We Loved It All: Lydia Millet on Loss, Connection and Telling Good Stories

In this episode of "Art Heals All Wounds," I have the pleasure of speaking with the author, Lydia Millet. Lydia’s latest book "We Loved It All: A Memory of Life" explores themes of interconnectedness, extinction, and climate change. She shares insights into her writing process and the challenges of addressing such monumental issues through storytelling. The conversation also delves into the cultural narratives that have led to environmental degradation and the potential of new, inclusive stories that could inspire change. Lydia’s work is a reminder of the importance of love and protection for all beings as essential components in the fight against mass extinction and climate catastrophe.   00:00 Introduction to Art Heals All Wounds 00:44 The Extinction Crisis 02:16 Interview with Lydia Millet 05:15 Lydia Millet on Writing and Climate Change 11:56 The Role of Stories in Shaping Our World 30:01 The Importance of Love and Protection 35:02 Conclusion and Call to Action Don"t forget to go to my website and leave me YOUR story of belonging to feature on a future episode!
