The podcast is back from break! And now featuring video! In our return episode, I talk about despair and how to combat it with courageous action, à la the Knight of Swords.

Sometimes you've just gotta rip the bandaid off and do it — stop thinking, start moving. The Knight of Swords knows this. They have the gumption to cut through the noise of the naysaying mind and push forward against all odds. While they're often described as reckless or cavalier (and both can be true), at their core, the Knight of Swords is bold, daring,and rebellious. They're willing to put themselves out there, risking failure, rejection, and loss, if it means achieving their goals.

In this time of collective uncertainty, when it's so easy to fall into dejection, we need deep hope and gritty resilience to guide us through— plus a hefty dash of rebellious swag. I talk about connecting with deep hope in generative ways, and turning away from shallow hope that feeds denial and disillusionment.
