Dear besties, my listeners, today's episode is an urgent call to action for our community

on a big topic that may be scary that's probably already been on your mind. And I feel a

personal responsibility to do my part to emotionally prepare people for what is already coming our way. And please know that I

never intend to scare you, but rather to inform you. And I would not be talking about this

if I didn't have a plan of action for you. So that today you will leave this episode,

not with fear, but with hope. This is not a joke.

This is completely serious. Because I've been dealing with an inner conflict for the past two years

that has a lot to do with trauma healing in the state of the world, and here's why. Healing used to be

about reestablishing a new relationship with the world,

one that feels safe and a world that feels filled with hope and possibility. And this is no longer

the case. The world as we know it is changing at a rate so fast beyond what the human brain has evolved to be able

to process, from AI advancements to technology and how all of this directly impacts the economy,

geopolitical tensions, and so much more. People are experiencing leaps of change in a single year

that in the past would have felt like it would be a decade and it's getting harder and harder

to catch up with everything. Now it's very difficult to say and experts will argue about whether

this is actually leading us down a good

path or a bad path. We don't know. And there's conflicting information. On one hand, quality of life

overall has improved. Yet mental health has plummeted so badly, especially with our younger

generation, that some organizations are calling this a

mental health crisis. And at the same time, the increased threats of how AI and technology

are going to dramatically change how we live in just the next few years is up in the air,

and there's no stopping it. It's happening. Here's why this is so important for us.
