Four days after the historic 2024 election, we’re diving deep into the raw emotions, difficult conversations, and lingering questions about the future of our country. 🇺🇸💭

In this episode, we explore what it means to grieve and reflect amidst political division. With insights inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.'s words on "negative peace" vs. "positive peace," we ask: Are we too focused on “order” at the expense of real justice? ⚖️✨

Join us as we unpack what it takes to sit with discomfort, nurture understanding, and seek a path forward—even when it feels impossible. Together, we’ll learn to create spaces where true change can flourish. 🌱❤️
