Welcome. I'm so glad you're here and I'm so glad to be back talking about the most important things on my heart. 

In our last episode we started by exploring how to stay awake in a world that desperately wants us to tune out. A world controlled by a global elite that thrive on our exhaustion and overwhelm when we're too tired and too worn down to collectively push back. And yet here we are continuing to hold that tension between hope and horror as we're still watching fascism unfold in real time, escalating every day in its brashness and its cruelty, and very much testing our capacity to stay awake 

I believe wholeheartedly that big paradigm shifts don’t happen overnight or with only one, single moment in time. They happen when we choose small acts of resistance, carried by many, many people of all walks of life and privilege. And so this episode is about helping you move through this time in the world with care and intention. We’ll explore what it means to really embrace rest without guilt, to lean into community and to seek joy as some of our most effective ways to resist and continue to hold space for both hope and heartbreak.
