Feeling overwhelmed by the relentless news cycle? There's a reason for that.

Jennifer Walter is a Swiss sociologist, podcast host (Check out The Scenic Route) & mental health advocate. She’s also a self-described rebel marshmallow, and a highly sensitive person. Grounded in sociology and a deep understanding of the structures that shape our perception of who we are, where we fit, and what is possible, she coaches clients to find the sweet spot in perspective that will help them take agency in their lives.

When she went viral this year….over her conclusion that in the current sociopolitical environment "our overwhelm in the point," I knew I needed to sit down with her. On this week's podcast we are looking at the playbook of disengaging citizens from their own democracy. And we are talking about how we can all manage to stay alert, without getting lost in the void.
