This episode is a timely reflection on the murder of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse, and why events that happen “far away” still affect us deeply.
I talk about:
Why the news feels heavy, anxiety-producing, and hard to look at
How silence and avoidance can increase feelings of powerlessness
Three simple ways I take action when I’m not a volunteer or organizer type of person
Why “echo chambers” can be a place of empowerment, not weakness
This is about feeling, naming what matters to you, and taking one small action — even when everything feels overwhelming.
