New World Normal
We are questioning, disrupting and transforming "Normal" to something more sustainable and enriching for us all. Debbie Harrell and her guests are challenging listeners to rethink their current routines & habits, their "shoulds & have-tos" and live more aligned with their passions and purpose. We are sharing stories of individuals who are making impactful changes in the world around them, working to create a more healthy, holistic, and inclusive future. We believe that the power to create social, environmental, and racial change lies with the collective, and we hope to inspire our listeners to make positive shifts in their own lives that will then ripple out and create positive change in the world.
To support the show and be a part of the movement towards a new way of living, listeners can subscribe and follow us on their favorite platforms, as well as connect with us on Instagram. Join the conversation and discover how to live a more purposeful and impactful life. Connect with other intentional changemakers in our free community.

13 Our Future is an Expedition

When a problem is too big for an individual to handle, it’s easy to get stuck and to feel apathetic. For instance, we can commit to curbing our plastic use by eliminating straws. However, on an individual level we also understand that this choice is only our own. The rest of the world will keep using straws. What’s the point? This is why, in nature and in society, humans occasionally require support and a like-minded collective in order to accomplish big things.
In today’s episode we speak with a like-minded disruptor, Sunniva Sorby. As a Norwegian-Canadian environmental advocate, Sunniva is an inspired individual with a special place in her heart for the poles. She’s taken the initiative to get involved with her passions in any way possible, like being in the first group of women to ski to the South Pole, traveling to the U.S. in solidarity during a major election, and taking part in scientific expeditions to gather valuable climate data. Our environment currently has an expiration date. Sunniva feels this urgency, and works to educate and inspire others to reevaluate their priorities and take action on climate change.
Topics covered:
- How the effects of climate change can be observed in our day-to-day lives
- How can we possibly be optimistic about climate change?
- Why would anybody ever ski to the South Pole?
- The best ways to get involved in the scientific community as a layperson
- How is the global community like an expedition?
