Minutes On Growth

In this 20 minute solo episode, I talk about the emotional weight many of us are carrying as we witness injustice in the world, focusing on the recent massacre of protestors in Iran and the renewed attention on the Epstein case.I share what has been happening in Iran, including communication blackouts, mass violence, and the deep grief and uncertainty families are living with. I name the different layers of grief people may be feeling; collective, anticipatory, and disenfranchised, especially when global acknowledgment feels limited or absent.I explore how witnessing these events can lead to secondary trauma, showing up as anger, numbness, exhaustion, or irritability, and I offer gentle nervous system regulation practices like grounding, breathwork, movement, and giving yourself permission to feel in small, contained ways.I also speak about the power of witnessing and advocacy; how amplifying accurate information, sharing stories, and refusing to look away can put pressure on systems and help protect lives.
