Nuance Needed

95: Creating Routines in Times of Crisis


Listen Later

When the political landscape feels chaotic, exhausting, and impossible to control, staying grounded is very important. This episode is a real-time case for why routines, not reinvention, are what actually help people stay regulated right now.

In conversation, we tackle:

  • Why routines matter more than hobbies when your nervous system is already fried
  • The myth that self-care has to be impressive, aesthetic, or time-consuming to “count”
  • How having one predictable touchpoint can ground you when everything else feels out of control
  • The overlooked mental health power of making your bed (yes, really)
  • Why being a leader in your own life hits different than constantly reacting to what’s happening to you
  • Please note, we recorded this before the weekend. 

    If you want to hear the extended conversation—including Sam diagnosing Amanda’s “hobby problem” and several off-the-rails existential detours—join us on Substack at nuanceneeded.substack.com.
