## Resource

I have been so pissed that I stopped publishing the podcast for a minute because I did not trust my words to land with care. I kept watching what I am seeing around immigration enforcement and the way people talk about human dignity like it is negotiable, and it showed up in my body. I felt it in my sleep, in my anxiety, and in the way I moved through the day. I could not stop seeing it, and every comment section pulled me into a back and forth that left my mind racing at night. It made me feel bad. The lesson I received was that I can protect my mental health without shutting down by limiting intake, grounding my nervous system, and using my voice without debating, and you will get clear steps to do that.
