mending your guilt of never doing enough for collective progress

feeling guilty for not doing enough in the face of global climate change and injustice is something many activists, progressives, and deeply caring people know all too well. this constant pressure to act can take a heavy emotional toll—leading to anxiety, exhaustion, and burnout that ultimately leaves us feeling paralyzed. in this episode, gayatri unpacks the cycle of activist guilt and compassion fatigue, revealing how these emotions, left unchecked, can turn our passion into overwhelm. drawing from yoga, mindfulness, and liberation psychology, we’ll discuss practical, compassionate strategies to release unhelpful guilt, restore your energy, and reconnect with your purpose. perfect for anyone seeking to care for their mental health for the long road of social change.
