EP 20: Canadians Are Tired of the News — Let’s Talk About
Thu Jan 29 2026
This week’s headlines are heavy, and for many of us, exhausting. In this episode, I reflect on recent news stories and explore the growing reality of media fatigue, news overload, and emotional burnout caused by constant exposure to negative media.
We talk about why disconnecting from the news is not avoidance, but self-care, the importance of staying present in our daily lives, and how reconnecting with small (and big) moments of joy can help restore balance, clarity, and hope.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or numb from the news cycle, this conversation is an invitation to pause, breathe, and refocus on what truly grounds us.
