Why this episode matters (and why it’s different)

This week, as the government shutdown unfolded, I sat down to record one of my most honest and vulnerable episodes yet. I share how I’ve personally been navigating the fear, exhaustion, and frustration that so many in public health are feeling right now — and the exact 3 tools I’m using to stay grounded when everything feels uncertain.

If you’ve been wondering, “How much more of this can I take?” — this episode will speak directly to you.

What I open up about

• My own moments of wanting to “just pretend everything’s fine” — and how that’s been showing up in my daily life.

• The emotional ping-pong between hope, fear, and detachment that’s exhausting so many of us.

• The hard truth about why leaving public health might not solve the deeper problem (and what to do instead).

What you’ll learn: 

1. How to stay calm without checking out: I’ll share how I’m keeping up with the news and my work without letting it take over my day or my peace of mind.
2. Why overworking or zoning out isn’t helping: You’ll see how things like working late, snacking, scrolling, or binging shows can quietly make stress worse—and what to do instead.
3. A simple way to feel grounded again: I’ll walk you through the mindset shift that’s helping me move from panic and frustration to focus and calm, even in a week like this one.
