About this episode

The episode discusses coping mechanisms in light of current events and emphasizes community care and personal responsibility.

“This is bigger than democrat or republican; we’re all connected. This is about taking care of each other and about the promises we’ve made to each other.” This was an emotionally heavy episode, though we spend the first half talking about our new hobbies (aka, our coping mechanisms). As policies and politics continue to impact our lives, we have been asking the questions, “where do we go from here? How do we move forward?” If you’re also feeling the weight of current events in our nation right now, we hope you know you are not alone. We hope that you are taking actions to take care of yourself, as well as to care for your community. As Stef says in this episode, “we agreed to take care of each other and to have and preserve freedoms here," and for as long as it takes, we will keep doing so, however we can. We are grateful for you all! #Keepshowingup and keep making strides in being the change we wish to see. Special thanks to our Audio Engineer, ⁠⁠Mark Kalagayan⁠⁠ , from the non-profit, ⁠⁠SPARC Worldwide⁠⁠ . The Making Strides Podcast is about building representation and about changing the ways we expect ourselves and others to show up in the running world. If you enjoy…
