JADED by the Establishment: Hope Walz on Minnesota, Navigating Election Loss, and Finding Identity Outside of Politics

What happens when the well-oiled machine of a national political campaign suddenly stops? This week on JADED, Jade sits down with Hope Walz, daughter of Minnesota Governor and former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, to discuss the surreal transition from Secret Service details to the quiet of a therapy office. They unpack the stages of grief after a political loss, the struggle to build an identity outside of a famous last name, and why joy is an act of resistance when the world feels like it’s being torn down. With additional bonus content, Jade and Hope reconnected this week to discuss everything that’s happening in her home state of Minnesota following her father’s decision not to run for reelection and the deployment of federal immigration officers.Follow @JadeBegay on Instagram and @IndigenousHouse across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook to keep up with JADED and other exciting content.  Hosted on Acast.
