You Don't Have To Consume Their Narrative

You Don't Have To Consume Their Narrative | Episode 549A buzz cut is easy. Growing your hair out takes patience, awkward phases, and the willingness to sit with discomfort. I use that simple choice to talk about something bigger: how mental health, trauma recovery, and resilience often start with small experiments that challenge the habits we’ve built to feel safe. If you’re new to Voices for Voices, welcome. If you’ve been here a while, you’ll recognize the theme we keep coming back to: coping skills are practical, and progress is rarely perfect.We also get real about perspective. A lost TV remote turns into a reminder that changing your position can change what you can see, and that’s true for stress, anxiety, and the stories we tell ourselves when we feel stuck. Along the way, I talk about choice and boundaries, including a simple rule that protects your peace: you don’t have to consume content you don’t want, and you don’t have to carry someone else’s outrage.Then we shift into public safety and online safety, including the Take It Down Act and why AI-generated nude images and sexually explicit deepfakes are a serious threat to kids and families. We’re a small nonprofit, but we’re committed to telling the truth, sharing facts, and amplifying voices that deserve protection.If this message matters to you, please subscribe, share the show with a few contacts, and leave a review so more people can find Voices for Voices.
