Finding Joy When Everything Sucks

  • Resumen




  • In this episode of Messy Liberation, Becky and Taina go deep on how to stay informed and engaged without burning out. They talk about the importance of limiting your news intake, ditching moral judgment about productivity, and embracing self-care that actually nourishes you (hint: it’s not a face mask). From managing chronic illness to laughing in the face of despair, they explore how joy, pleasure, and tiny acts of resistance keep us rooted—and keep us going.

    Discussed in This Episode:

    • Why reducing your news intake can be life-saving
    • The somatic signs of stress and how to listen to them
    • Embracing tiny, doable actions over giant to-do lists
    • Letting go of capitalist ideas of productivity and morality
    • Why hobbies like gardening and sourdough are revolutionary
    • Finding joy as a radical act of resistance
    • How to build community in hard times
    • Defining self-care on your own terms
