facing what's real: i will no longer be silently complicit
Thu Feb 05 2026
I am heartbroken.
The country I was sold is a farce. The Epstein files are showing us just how deep the corruption goes. I'm disgusted—not surprised, but disgusted.
As an SA survivor, this moment is incredibly triggering. Even the commentary on the files brings a surge of helplessness to my system. As an empath, I feel the pain of the victims. As someone who has survived my own trauma, it all comes flooding back as though it's happening in real time.
Watching American citizens executed in the streets. Young children used as bait to capture their immigrant parents. Families torn apart.
It's too much for my system. And I know that's exactly what they want.
This is their strategy—flooding the zone to overwhelm us so we can't keep up, so it becomes normalized. I refuse to let any of this become normal. I refuse to stay silent and complicit.
In this episode, I share where I'm at: stuck in freeze, overwhelmed with grief, struggling to understand how anyone can look at another human being and feel superior to them. And I share what I'm learning about protecting ourselves so that we can show up—because we need to show up. We need to gather in community, hold each other, and find our light together.
If we isolate. If we hide. If we shut down—they win.
I'm inviting you to gather with me on Sunday in my women's circle, Sacred Space Annapolis. Pay what you can. If you are unable to pay anything, please email me at tina@intuitive-soulutions.com. This isn't about a sale. It's about building a community that holds one another through this.
Our democracy, our freedom, everything is on the line.
