Welcome back to Terrified Nation!
We open Season 4 with a story that is both unsettling and deeply human—a moment when fear quietly entered a space meant for peace.
In this premiere episode, host Debilyn Molineaux vulnerably recounts her experience at a meditation retreat in Boulder, Colorado. What began as a quiet morning of spiritual connection was interrupted by news of violence.What had been a sanctuary suddenly felt fragile. The bubble of safety broke.
With raw honesty, Debilyn takes us into the tension of those moments: the confusion, the whispered questions, the dread of not knowing.
She reflects with honesty and humility on the complexity of holding both personal suffering and collective purpose — and the quiet resolve this experience awakened in her: to stay curious, to remain open, and to make room for hard conversations that matter.
This tender episode invites us to sit with discomfort, to listen, and to ask: How do we move through fear toward compassion and quiet courage?
