Unscripted: Hot Mess, Anyone? (The Hanging in There Version)

Anyone else feeling like the world - particularly the U.S. - is a bit of a hot mess right now? We are there with you. In one of our first truly unscripted episodes, host CH highlights the significance and power of shared experiences in building resilience during a time where the world seems fraught with political uncertainty and sudden, uncontrolled change. And she reminds us once again to focus on some key tenets that we DO have control over: 1) that which brings us joy; 2) remaining connected within our communities; and 3) avoiding doom scrolling of the news cycle echo chamber. She also shares what it has been like working inside a non-profit cancer research center in the U.S. during a time of great uncertainty over funding resources. It's a deeply personal episode, but one that aims to still find light and hope in some darker, challenging times.

 

Show Notes

• The full quote that CH paraphrased during this episode was: "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light." It was spoken by the character Albus Dumbledore, in 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.'
