Episode 2 marks the first of a two-part series focused on the current state of our country. In contrast to previous seasons—which focused more on analyzing national events—this episode intentionally shifts the lens toward self-care, strategic resistance, and holistic health in the pursuit of justice.

Matthew and Alethea offer psychoeducation on the Central Nervous System, exploring how stress is internalized and how we can intentionally disrupt the stress cycle. The episode highlights the importance of regulation and embodiment as vital tools for sustainability and well-being in the midst of chaos.

The worksheet linked is meant to be used after listening to Episode 2. It can be completed individually or in community—whether in a small group, team meeting, classroom, mentorship context, or any space committed to collective learning, healing, and justice.
