Navigate the Now: Root • Rise • Reflect

Welcome to Navigate the Now! Root · Rise · Reflect We’re Dalia and Allie, longtime friends who've spent a good portion of our friendship engaging in activism and building community. We’re doing our best to make sense of today’s political chaos, without totally spiraling. Each episode, we root in truth, reflect on what’s happening, and rise with ideas for action—even when it’s messy. Think of it as a toolkit for your brain and your heart! Instead of doom scrolling yourself into a black hole, you can root, rise, and reflect toward something that feels hopeful and meaningful!
