Episode 9: Now That We Think About Fear

In this conversation, and in the wake of growing tensions between the U.S. and Iran as well as the ICE raids in California, Allison and Alice explore the theme of fear, particularly in the context of global events and personal experiences. They discuss the importance of community, connection, and the tools available to manage anxiety and fear. The dialogue emphasizes the need for vulnerability, acceptance, and the power of shared experiences in overcoming fear. They also touch on parenting and the responsibility of raising resilient children in a world filled with uncertainties.To be part of future episodes email Allison and Alice at [email protected] (or leave a voice note, a comment, a DM here or Instagram) with stories about your neighbors (do you have a good relationship with them?
