We’ve got big changes to make in this world, but to actually make change does not include getting our mobs together and pitchforks out for anyone who dares to be imperfect. Everyone is on their own timeline when it comes to opening their eyes to the shit going on around us. Hating on or judging someone for not being as aware and educated as you are, or shaming someone for making “too small” of an impact gets us nowhere. If change is what you really want, try choosing curiosity before criticism. If we want change, we have to start giving more grace.

I don’t know how you’re feeling about the state of things right now, but if you’re thinking, “Fuuuuck, this shit is so annoying and inconvenient, I just want to live my life!” … Me too. We’ve been so heavily trained to outsource almost every little thing in our lives, and now we’re being asked to think about it, defend it, and understand it in a way we never did before and it’s exhausting. Convenience has its consequences, and we’re facing them now. But just because something is exhausting or uncomfortable or inconvenient, doesn’t mean we should run away from it. We’ve got to lean in to the discomfort and inconvenience, get curious about it, and then we can start making change—every little step matters.

One thing I love about having my own business is the opportunities I get to connect with some really intelligent, incredibly thoughtful, and all around bad-ass people. In the first (and possibly only!) long episode this year, I’m sharing the light and wisdom of Dr. Jennifer Hutton—aka, Dr. Jpop. What you may or may not realize, however, is the fact that Jpop is in every single episode of this podcast.

I wanted to talk to her because if there’s someone who knows how to keep moving forward and making a difference when the world looks like… well, you know… it’s Jennifer. We have to let our values be at the root of everything we do and take plenty of pauses because you can’t be a light in this world if you can’t find light for yourself. There’s no checklist we can cross off in order to be a “good person,” but we can take a moment to reflect, look to ourselves and our communities, and figure out how to meet this moment as it comes.

Yes, I’m still talking about politics because I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but everything in our lives is impacted by politics and it kinda feels like the world is burning down around us. But therein lies the opportunity—just because the government is crashing and burning, doesn’t mean we, the people are. The current system cannot stand, which means something new is on the horizon, something we all have the opportunity to create. So, what’s next? That’s up to you.

This shit just keeps getting crazier every day, and I don’t need to be any more specific, and you’ll already know what I’m talking about. Sometimes I get asked whether or not you should be sharing about politics on social media, and I understand why some people might be hesitant to do so. While there’s nothing you absolutely have to do in life, there are some things I think you should be doing, and this is one of them. Like it or not, all of our lives are political, and at the core of so many of the issues we’re facing is forced silence. Having an audience (of any size!) is a privilege and it is powerful. I think we should be using our privilege, our power, and our platforms to help.

January lasted approximately eleventy-billion years, and it got me thinking. All of this (imagine me gesturing wildly to our lives and the state of the world right now) is a marathon, not a sprint. Life isn’t magically going to get better for us, so if we want to keep going—and we need to!—then it’s more important than ever to pause, to page ourselves, to view the world with curiosity, and to have compassion for ourselves and others. “I told you so,” feels good, but it’s not going to make shit better. That’s up to us.

For so many, it would be a dream come true to just be paid to create something that we love. We’ve got to make money to live in this world, so if we want to make money from creating, then we have to professionalize what we do—and not in the boring, traditional, stick-up-your-ass way, but in owning everything you do so that if and when things go sideways, you’re protected.

Social media has connected us to more people and more information than we’ve ever had, which means that every day, there’s some new tragedy that we all find out about and it tears people apart. We were never built to be worrying about everything in the world, every moment of the day, but so many of us feel the pressure to give a shit about all the things. It’s not a good idea to spread yourself so thin with worry that you can’t live your own life. So who—of all the millions suffering in the world—should you care about?

There’s this pervasive idea that as you get older, you’ll have no more fucks left to give, but I’ve never had many to begin with. Our time on this earth is already so limited, why wait to give less fucks? Why give any in the first place? Why wait to be happy? You can give all the fucks in the world if you want, but as for me—I’ll keep on not caring.

It’s a new year—is it time for a new you? There’s never any shortage of advice given during the month of January, but before you run and implement everything that everyone tells you to do, there are a few questions I think you should ask to get a little more discerning on what kind of advice you take and who you’re taking it from. There’s plenty of good shit out there, but there’s just as much bullshit.
