Do you want to make an impact? Are you feeling powerless?  The world has made it through another week without destroying itself and Laumee and Rachael are still here as well, to share about processing, calming the nervous system, war, art and what creatives can do in these times of stress and despair. This is a meandering episode, seeking answers and comfort and acknowledging that sharing space is how we can help each other manage hard feelings.  How can you make a difference? One tip: healing the world begins with healing yourself.  (This recording is only a piece of a 4 ½ hour conversation between Laumee and Rachael
