How are you dealing with our nation’s constant onslaught of frightening news? Witnessing democracy itself under attack has me feeling despair more often than I’d like, and I know I’m not alone. To be honest, talking about job search strategies and leadership best practices feels a bit futile while our nation flirts with fascism. So, on this episode, I’m taking a look at how we can continue to function when we’re faced with crisis after crisis, day after day.

Let’s talk about how we can help—ourselves and others who may be feeling despair, too:

  • How the overwhelm campaign is a deliberate strategy designed to shock us into submission;
  • Why we need to start by checking in with our basic needs;
  • The deep damage of doomscrolling;
  • How the combination of finding meaning and taking action can create change.
