In this episode, Andrea reflects on the importance of self-care and well-being, even in the face of global atrocities. She emphasizes the need to honor and process our emotions while also finding joy and pleasure in life. Andrea encourages listeners to prioritize their own well-being in order to sustain their advocacy and make a positive impact in the world.

Takeaways

Self-care and well-being are essential for sustaining advocacy and making a positive impact.

Feeling and processing emotions is a natural part of life and should not be avoided.

It is possible to hold both difficult emotions and joy in our bodies.

Finding a supportive community or buddy can help in navigating and processing emotions.

Prioritizing our own well-being does not mean disregarding global atrocities, but rather ensuring that we are able to show up fully to make a difference.
