Susi Barreto on leaving the world a better place and the mission behind her book ‘A Good Earthling’
In today’s episode I’m joined by my dear friend Susi Barreto. We first met during our Stråla Yoga training in Amsterdam back in 2017 and immediately connected over our shared love of movement, mindfulness and our latino roots.
This conversation is a little different from my usual Human Design episodes. It’s a heart-to-heart about sustainability, teaching, reconnecting to nature and the simple rituals that keep us grounded.
Susi shares her journey from biologist to Stråla guide to children’s book author. We talk about her first book A Good Earthling, a project born from her deep love for nature and her hope to help the next generation stay connected to it in a world that’s becoming more digital every day.
It’s a reminder that small actions like biking to work, cooking from scratch, spending a few barefoot minutes outside can create real change.
In this episode we talked about:
- Susi’s childhood close to nature and how it shaped her passion for biology and teaching
- Her injury and the path that led her to Stråla Yoga
- What inspired her to write A Good Earthling
- The challenges of trying to live sustainably when the world around us makes it hard
- Facing climate anxiety and choosing softness and love instead of fear
- How everyday rituals like cooking, biking and being outdoors can keep us grounded and strong
I hope this conversation leaves you feeling inspired to slow down, connect with nature and nourish the parts of you that long for a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.
