Ep 148: The Absurdity and Necessity of Personal Growth in Dark Times

Today, I want to talk about something that has been weighing heavily on my heart. We’re living in a time when so many terrible things are happening in the world. Families are being torn apart, healthcare is being stripped away, and fundamental human rights are under attack. In the midst of all this, it can feel absurd—or even pointless—to talk about setting boundaries or practicing patience. Like I’m offering a band-aid when the patient is hemorrhaging.And yet, I keep showing up here because I believe this work matters. I believe your healing matters. No, working on your relationship with yourself won’t fix everything that’s broken—but it can create ripples of good that we desperately need in the world. Maybe you’re too overwhelmed, anxious, or shut down to even consider personal growth right now. But here's what I want you to know: you can hold space for the pain of the world and still work on being your favorite you. If you’ve been feeling torn between caring about the world and caring for yourself, I hope this episode will help.Click HERE to get the full show notes.
