TW: mass casualty events, pandemic, light political topics

A lot of people are asking the same quiet question: Why do I feel so heavy right now?

In this episode, I unpack the concept of collective grief and why so many of us feel exhausted, anxious, numb, or on edge. You are not weak. You are not broken. You are responding to brokenness.

We explore what grief actually is beyond death loss, and the kind of sorrow that never gets acknowledged publicly.

If you have felt “off” for years, this conversation might connect some dots.

We also look at historical patterns of collective grief, including moments like September 11 attacks, the Vietnam War, etc. Some grief was repressed. Some was transformed into movements. Where do we see those echoes now?

Let’s talk honestly about why navigating grief feels harder today.
