Even when you don't see immediate results, it's so important for us to keep going. To understand that every little thing we do matters and that every little thing we *don't* do also has an effect.

In this week's episode, I'm talking about an insistence to make the effort even if it feels too hard or feels too insignificant. For example, sometimes it's easier just to put on sweatpants and a sweatshirt. But if we can make the effort to put on jeans and maybe a clean shirt, we can feel better on the inside. Similarly, in our fight for a liberated world, every little action matters. From buying a bar of soap from a Pal/es/tin/Ian vendor to attending a rally, we might think it doesn't do much, but these build momentum and soon change will happen.

Listen hear about why our efforts are necessary, how we can tap into our innate strength and compassion, and how community can help us to keep going. Tune in!

As we enter a portal into more darkness, we need to remember that change equals growth. And while nobody really talks about this, growth is painful. How can we stay steady and endure the discomfort, knowing that change is inevitable? How can we reframe challenges in order to learn from the pain? To learn that we are not being tested nor are we being punished. We are just being pushed to grow.

Tune into this week's episode to learn how to stay steady in the chaos. How to be like a seed in the earth.

We're all struggling in our personal lives, from financial strain to job insecurity and beyond. AND there are so many fires burning both in our communities and at the collective level. So how do we navigate it all? How do we keep going and not burn out?

In this week's episode, I'm talking about how the global and the local are intertwined, how what we do on the personal level affects the collective in ways that we may not yet see. Tune in to hear more about how we can hold both, how we can sustain the work we need to do, and how we can discover our heart’s desire in the midst of it all. We can have the courage to dream big and manifest it for the highest good of all!
