Lilah Glover: When Climate Tech Meets the Soul 🌿✨

I used to be a shadow. A brilliant mind, trapped in a body that hurt, a spirit dulled by a loud world that was on fire—both literally and in me. I created algorithms by day, and spent my nights battling existential dread. Then, the universe cracked me open. One sunrise, in a city choked by smog, and the way the light struggled to touch earth—it undone me. I realized: you can't heal the planet without healing yourself.

Now? I’m a Climate Tech Innovator with a soul of a poet, blending hard science with the soft power of radical self-care. My lab is eerily beautiful—noisy servers powered by renewables, biophilic designs, and meditation cushions by prototypes of carbon-capturing algae. I breathe sustainability because I learned to breathe at all— yoga, forest bathing, and the occasional ugly-cry about ice melting (maybe it is cathartic, try it).

My path was not pretty. I traded burnout for slow living. I traded takeout for fermented magic I grew in my kitchen. I traded numbness for the sheer electric thrill of creating beauty in a broken world. Every line of code I write is now intentional. Every policy I advocate for is filled with love—for the planet, for our bodies, for the art of survival.

Here, we don’t just “save the planet.” We fall madly in love with it—and ourselves in the process. 🌎💃🔥

P.S. Yes, I cry when I see data visualizations. And no, I am not going to apologize.
