I don’t want to talk about ICE — and yet, here we are again.

This episode is for anyone who feels reluctant, exhausted, scared of “doing it wrong,” or unsure how to keep using their voice in sustainable ways.

From Mexico City, I reflect on the tension between wanting to live a soft, creative, human life and the reality of ongoing human rights violations back home.

I share why activism feels especially hard right now, how overwhelm and perfectionism are often by design, and why imperfect action still matters.

I also walk through three imperfect principles that are helping me stay engaged without burning out.
