Summary

Hey there, it's Amanda! So, today we're diving head-first into using our self-care practices to navigate the crazy whirlpool of politics. Yeah, you heard it right, y’all! It’s totally taboo and I’m here for it. Not sure how to start talking about politics and affirming yourself at the same time? I've got you covered! I'll be sharing my own rollercoaster ride of drawing lines in the sand and standing my ground. And guess what? I'm inviting you to jump onboard for our special series focusing on defining what our own political IN-Correctness looks like. We'll be exploring the magic of personal evolution, the strength in U-N-I-T-Y, and the kick-ass power of believing in yourself!

Takeaways

• Even if you don’t know how to yet, It's important to show up authentically wherever you go.
• Setting boundaries before engaging with diverse viewpoints fosters personal growth.
• You don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

Sound Bites

• "Self -care looks different in each situation and we can still show up as ourselves. And maybe we don't know how to do that just yet.”
• "I brought in other people who may not think like me because I want to learn and I can't keep thinking like myself if I want to do something different and I don't know how.
• "We can be in our own correctness and still be politically incorrect.”
• “Because if it's something that's important to you that you want in your life, the best way to remedy that is through a boundary.”
• “Showing up for yourself, standing for yourself. Those are two really important things. And taking care of yourself is literally the best vote you could ever cast because you can, you can count on yourself.”
