If you're feeling devastated by yesterday's election results, this episode is a gentle reminder that you're not alone - and that your mental health matters right now. As a woman of color in the wellness space, I'm getting vulnerable about my own emotional response to the results and sharing the exact self-care practices helping me process this moment.
Look, I had a completely different episode planned. But waking up to these results hit hard, and I knew we needed to have a different conversation today. There will be many moments over the next four years where political news affects our wellbeing. And we need to be prepared.
In this episode, I'm sharing:
- Why it's okay (and necessary) to take time off work to process
- The importance of creating boundaries with news and social media
- How to protect your mental health while staying engaged
- The surprising statistics that gave me hope
Whether you're processing the results or looking for ways to protect your peace during politically challenging times, this episode offers both solidarity and practical strategies for moving forward.
