The end of the year is upon us, and this time, Whitney Lauritsen opens up about her personal thoughts on the topic by discussing some thought-provoking media. She shares quotes from a Tiktok containing commentary on how capitalism is bad for mental health and a book that acknowledges the trauma brought on by the toxic culture around us. These affect everyone, regardless of their mental, physical, emotional, or financial state. Whitney tackles topics such as disconnection, self-development, healing from trauma, privilege and lack thereof, to name a few. She dares you to reflect on how you can be authentic and cultivate your passions positively while also talking about how capitalism forces us to benefit from the exploitation of others. How do you accept this reality without settling for it? How do you healthily respond and continue to grow as an individual living in this society while helping create change? How do you approach yourself and others without judgment? Join Whitney in this discussion and tune in to this episode for more insights and questions to ponder over this coming year.
