A Little Bit of Lagom is a weekly podcast about how to find a more balanced, sustainable and mindful approach to living. Taking inspiration from the Swedish concept of Lagom, loosely translating to “a little bit and not too much”, the podcast explores how this philosophy can be applied to all aspects of your life, to help the planet, help others, and improve your own well-being. A Little Bit of Lagom goes into environmentalism, veganism, work-life balance, health, wellness, cruelty free practices, sustainability, and how we can make small, practical changes in our lives to support positive change in a way that feels possible and achievable. Marla, host of the podcast, is a freelance dance artist, sports massage therapist and coach/mentor in training who has a multitude of passions, especially for the natural world, and felt a need to share and connect with others who want to find ways to live more sustainably with more balance in their lives.

Valentina Prada Flórez (she/her) is a Literature student at the University of Los Andes in Colombia. She is interested in gender issues and human rights regarding the climate crisis, which she aspires to relate with her career once she graduates. She is part of Fridays for Future Bogotá, Viernes por el Futuro Colombia (FFF Colombia), her university's climate committee (MAUA Uniandes) and co-founded Latinas for Climate. She's currently coordinating the Escazú Agreement campaign for FFF Bogotá and starting her way through photojournalism.
In this conversation, Valentina shares her path into climate activism, including her involvement with many youth-led organisations and how her studies in literature shape the perspective she offers into climate conversation. We discuss the importance of accessible information which can empower people to engage in climate action which links to the incredible work Latinas for Climate is doing in creating such resources. Valentina also talks about the creation of Latinas for climate, the aims of the organisation and her work on campaigns surrounding the Escazú agreement, along with what this agreement would come to mean.
I hope you enjoy this episode!
