About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of self-care and nutrition amidst overwhelming external stressors.

Constant headline news bombardment, notifications, & alerts for an entire year plus 14 days is mindblowing. We are in a Fight that we did not ask for. At stake, our peace of mind (literally) and our civility. In a time when so much feels out of our control, caring for our bodies is one place where we still have agency. We may not be able to stop the noise, the fear, or the injustice—but we can nourish ourselves enough to stay present, stay clear, and stay connected.
