Episode 166: Responding to Injustice
Wed Feb 04 2026
In this 20 minute solo episode, I talk about the emotional weight many of us are carrying as we witness injustice in the world, focusing on the recent massacre of protestors in Iran and the renewed attention on the Epstein case.
I share what has been happening in Iran, including communication blackouts, mass violence, and the deep grief and uncertainty families are living with. I name the different layers of grief people may be feeling; collective, anticipatory, and disenfranchised, especially when global acknowledgment feels limited or absent.
I explore how witnessing these events can lead to secondary trauma, showing up as anger, numbness, exhaustion, or irritability, and I offer gentle nervous system regulation practices like grounding, breathwork, movement, and giving yourself permission to feel in small, contained ways.
I also speak about the power of witnessing and advocacy; how amplifying accurate information, sharing stories, and refusing to look away can put pressure on systems and help protect lives. When media coverage is limited, our voices matter even more.
Throughout the episode, I emphasize emotional validation, especially in cultures where grief and anger are often minimized, and explain how acknowledging our feelings helps calm the body’s stress response. I remind listeners that their reactions make sense, that their compassion is a strength, and that we can stay engaged with the world while also caring for our own nervous systems.
♾ In a fast-paced world like the one we live in, time is one of our most important assets. For a few minutes every episode, I, Tannaz Hosseinpour, will be discussing topics that aim to enhance the quality of your life, by helping you feel empowered to take inspired action on your personal growth journey.
