In Episode 26 of The Revolution Resolution, Anna turns to a quiet but powerful condition that allows harm to grow: what happens when we stop trusting one another’s intuition.

This episode explores how people are taught to question discomfort, soften their instincts, and wait for proof before responding to what already feels wrong. Anna examines how dismissal works in everyday language, how silence is reinforced between people, and why American patriarchy depends on teaching us to distrust inner signals — especially when they come from those with less power.

This conversation is about responsibility, attention, and care. Not punishment. Not accusation. But the choice to pause when someone says something doesn’t feel right, and to treat that truth as worth protecting.

Anna asks us to reflect on what our first instinct is when someone shares discomfort: do we try to resolve it quickly, or do we stay present long enough to really hear it?

The Revolution Resolution is a podcast hosted by Anna Malaika Tubbs that examines the systems shaping our lives and how we begin to imagine something different.
