VIA Evolution is on the cusp of its one-year anniversary, and Episode 45 offers a beautiful moment to look back on this past year—and on our past selves—with compassion.
Sarah and Katrina acknowledge what so many of us are feeling: the social climate is intense right now. It’s a lot. We’re feeling it too. Taking a mental health break last week felt necessary; creating space to sit with the tender parts of ourselves and to acknowledge the deep-rooted pains being brought to the surface.
Has anyone struck a nerve with you lately? You’re not alone.
In this episode, Sarah and Katrina share openly about how they’ve navigated being triggered—by narrow thinking, abrasive language, aggressive tones, and ostracizing behavior—while still holding all of it. They talk honestly about the ways we sometimes numb out when things feel overwhelming, and what it looks like to navigate back to presence.
As with many conversations this past cycle, we take time to verbally process, bear witness to the pain, name what’s happening, and feel what we feel. And—because this is Via—we also find a way to laugh! This one had us cackling. And we truly needed it.
