In this solo episode, Mya names the collective weight so many of us are carrying right now socially, politically, emotionally, and holds space for what it means to live and grow in a world that feels increasingly overwhelming. Through a mental health and trauma-informed lens, she reflects on generational pressure, nervous system responses to constant exposure, and the battle between staying informed and protecting our well-being. This episode isn’t about fixing everything, it’s about naming what’s real for many people (there are generalizations here, we acknowledge not everything is an absolute), offering grounding and regulation, and reminding you that you’re not alone! Together, we explore how to care for ourselves without totally disconnecting from the world, and how resilience can look like rest, boundaries, and simply surviving on hard days.
