We're pressing pause on our current podcast series, because millions of us witnessed something we never thought we’d see in real time; a political assassination streamed straight to our phones. No matter your views, moments like this leave behind a shared weight of shock, grief, and disorientation. For moms especially, it can feel impossible to stay grounded while caring for our families and holding space for our children.

In this episode of Well Considered, Alexandra is joined by Dr. Rachel and Dr. Carly from Kale Blossom one week after the assassination to explore practical ways to process collective trauma and reclaim a sense of calm. Together, we share gentle yet powerful tools for nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and rediscovering balance in the days after tragedy.

You won’t find political commentary here. Just compassionate conversation and actionable strategies to help you move from shock toward steadiness. Whether you felt this event deeply or you’re simply carrying the cumulative stress of today’s world, these insights will guide you toward healing.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why collective trauma affects us all

• Simple tools for restoring balance and calming the nervous system

• How to create space for your own healing while supporting your family

• Steps to move forward with resilience and hope
