🎙 Episode Title

How to Stay Human When the World Is on Fire Bonus Episode – Engaged but Not Exhausted

📝 Show Notes

What do you do when the world feels like it’s on fire—and the people you thought would recognize it are the ones feeding the flames?

In this raw and honest bonus episode, I talk about the emotional and spiritual toll of watching democracy unravel, especially when it’s been justified in the name of religion. From ICE raids and lies to Christians calling Trump “King Cyrus,” this isn’t about politics—it’s about moral bankruptcy.

You’ll hear:

  • Why “guard your energy” doesn’t mean bury your head
  • The firewalk metaphor that’s helping me stay grounded
  • My frustration with people I once worked with—smart, ethical people—who now parrot dangerous delusions
  • What it’s like living in a politically intense family, with 24/7 news and nonstop crisis
  • How Anita and I walk two different paths—activism and energy work—toward the same truth
  • A step-by-step approach to staying clear when the outrage loop pulls you in
  • A closing spiritual declaration to breathe, bless, and begin again

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re walking a tightrope between staying awake and staying sane. It’s not just about surviving the chaos. It’s about walking through it without getting burned.

💬 Listener Takeaway: You are not crazy. You are not alone. And you don’t have to collapse to care.

Closing Declaration Excerpt:

I protect my peace so I can protect what matters. I remember: the Universe is not blind. Justice is not dead. Love is not weak.

Amenaste.
