In this deeply personal episode of The Cole Memo, I'm joined by longtime friend and inspiration Jean Lacy, founder of the Illinois Psychedelic Society. We talk about burnout, idealism, and how to keep moving forward in advocacy work without losing yourself in the process. Jean reflects on her powerful essay, “choosing both: rest and resistance, healing and hustle, purpose and peace,” and we explore the tension between living like liberation is possible now while pushing for change in systems built to wear us down. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, questioned your place in this work, or just needed permission to rest—this one’s for you.
