If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, shut down, angry, hurt, or scared since the new administration took over, you’re not alone. We’re dedicating this episode to sifting through some of what this political chaos and noise stirs in us and how we can show up and fight the good fight while practicing good self-care so we don’t have to escape into the Alaskan wilderness. As our guest, Kip Williams says, “you can’t have healthy movements without healthy people.”
