Happy Saturday. This is Emily Sharam, your me, Ed, hippie podcast host. Thank you for joining me. I have a lot in my heart, a lot of things that came through, and I am excited to share what I think we're all going through because we are all going through it. There is always these big collective movements and feelings and I keep having this visual

that when we think of pain and suffering and just in general how divided the world is and

thinking outside of just politics or America really imagine traveling the world really quickly in your head, going from country to country,

countries you've only seen or heard about in geography class, or thinking of places and people

economics and understanding

anthropology and understanding all of these dynamics that make humans, human and why we are the way

and pain and suffering in the world.

And we all know this, right?

And sometimes we don't want to expose ourselves to it because what can we do?

that there is so much to process and grieve collectively that we ourselves in that internal

healing and in that processing get to do that for the entire. And it helps me on those days where I really go

into the subconscious or I really go into my feels or I really have an emotional day when I'm

just feeling it all. I remember this isn't just mine. This is maybe all. And if I don't do this,

if I'm not willing to do this, or if I don't sit still

long enough to do this, or if I don't make space to do this, because it does take space,

it takes, you know, resting and feeling. And we're usually too busy for that. Then who will do it?

And if we get to do it for others, then we're more likely to do it for ourselves.

And so it's a nice way to see how we feel as collective. It's not so individual. We are all
