Welcome back to Things I Said While Caffeinated! In this episode, Amara Franklin is up at 3AM with a strong coffee and stronger opinions about the recently passed Big Ugly Bill. She unpacks the emotional aftermath, shares real talk about burnout and activism, and lays out how to take care of your mental health while still staying informed and involved. From reality TV binges to rage-venting to her besties, Amara keeps it raw, funny, and encouraging.

For the “Happy Fluffy Story,” she shares heartfelt wisdom from a group of seniors with advice for the younger generation—including one legend who reminds us to never follow a man. Diana, we salute you.

✨ Your challenge this week: Protect your peace. Whether that means a protest sign or a trashy soap opera app, do what helps you feel better—then pass it on.

P.S. Don’t forget to drop a comment and tell Amara what you’re drinking and your “What’s Good” of the day.
