Why So Many Americans Feel Helpless — And How to Break Free | Karel Cast Ep. 25-74
Description:
Do you ever feel like nothing you do matters? Climate change, skyrocketing prices, broken politics — and yet the most common reaction is: “What can I even do?” You’re not alone — helplessness is becoming America’s national mood.
In this bold episode of the Karel Cast, we dig into:
• Why that feeling of helplessness is more than just personal — it’s systemic.
• How it creeps into your identity without you realizing.
• The shockingly simple cure most people ignore.
• What hypernormalization is — and how it keeps you stuck.
• Plus: Why seniors are suddenly turning to cannabis in record numbers. 🍃
👊 Time to take your power back.
🧠 Time to wake up.
🔥 Time to stop feeling helpless.
