Hello Universe

Kyley and Eva sit down to talk about what has been happening in North America around ICE, immigration enforcement, and the wave of fear, grief, rage, confusion, and moral distress many people are carrying in their bodies right now.  They explore what happens when institutions dehumanize people, how fear spreads through communities, and why numbness can start to feel like a survival strategy. At the same time, they reflect on the quiet, often unglamorous work of staying human: letting grief be present, allowing anger without letting it harden into hatred, and remembering that compassion does not require self-destruction. This is a conversation for anyone who feels torn between caring deeply and needing to protect their own mental and emotional health.  What we cover  🧠 How the nervous system responds to ongoing political and social threat 💔 The emotional impact of ICE enforcement on individuals and communities 🧍‍♀️ Why numbness, shutdown, and overwhelm are understandable responses 🔥 Making space for anger without letting it turn into dehumanization 🌊 Grief as a natural response to witnessing harm and loss of safety 🧭 The difference between staying informed and being constantly flooded 🛑 Boundaries as a form of care, not avoidance 🤝 How to hold compassion without collapsing into helplessness Eva's instagram: @iamevaliao Book a discovery call with Eva Kyley's Instagram: @kyleycaldwell Kyley's free mini-course
