You don't have to perform your activism to prove you care
In this ep - 186: Invisible, unsexy activism: why your quiet work matters more than you know...
I challenge the exhausting narrative that you must publicly perform your grief and outrage to be "on the right side of history."
I dive into how the attention economy amplifies the loudest voices while invisibilizing (is that a word? if not, it is now cuz it's cool) the foundational inner work that actually breaks generational cycles of violence.
If you've been feeling guilt about not posting enough, not being loud enough, or needing to step back from the news cycle to tend your nervous system...
this episode is 100% your permission slip.
I explore how your quiet processing, shadow work, and nervous system regulation aren't complicity - they're actually REVOLUTIONARY.
The violence we see systemically starts in bodies and childhoods, and your personal healing work is literally changing the trajectory of violence in the world.
For highly sensitive people, recovering people-pleasers, and anyone feeling burnt out by performative activism culture in these INTENSE times, this episode offers a radically different framework for sustainable engagement 3 3
