Are you caught in the doomscrolling spiral—overwhelmed by the news, constantly checking your phone, and feeling more exhausted by the minute?

This episode of the 3rd Ave Wellness Podcast offers a powerful, trauma-informed meditation to help you interrupt the cycle and return to yourself. Whether you’re struggling to disconnect from digital overwhelm or just need space to breathe, this practice is here to guide you gently back to safety, clarity, and belonging.

We explore how doomscrolling impacts the nervous system, especially for marginalized folks who are already carrying so much—and offer grounding breathwork, affirmations, and a somatic reset. You’ll leave with more access to your breath, your body, and your boundaries.

This meditation centers Black women, queer, trans, disabled, and chronically online folks—and is open to all who long for grounded hope in the chaos.

I decided to not add any background music to help this be less stimulating as we break from overstimulation! Tell me what you think.

This grounding mediation invites you into a more honest, collective vision of hope--one that doesn't lie to you or ask you to ignroee your pain. Rooted in truth, breath, and somatic awareness, this epiesode offers a calm space to rest, feel, and begin again.

What does it mean to have hope without gaslighting yourself?

In this Mediation, Desi Hall--founder of 3rd Ave. Wellness--guides you through a practice that names what's real while he;ping you return to your body and breath. This is not hope rooted in false positivity or toxic resilience. It's hope rooted in clarity, grief, and resistance.

Whether you're feeling overwhemled by the news, struggling to keep going, or just in need of a pause that doesn't ask you to shrink your pain-- this episode is for you.

This mediation is especially for:

• Black women navigating burnout and mounting pressure at work
• Disabled folks who deserve access to collective care
• Queer and trans people seeking spiritual grounding
• Anyone who is tired of being told "it's not that bad."

Collective care starts here.

Let this be your reset.
