## Resource

It feels impossible to know what to do as an American mother in the early months of 2026. Nothing about this is normal. Nothing. I do not claim to be an expert on politics. I acknowledge that as a white woman, I've inherited a level of privilege that many have not. And I do not pretend to know all the levels deep and the immense complexities others are facing on a daily basis. And, this is a moment in history that will affect every single person. In this episode I share my views on how to support yourself so you can support your children. How you can harness your emotions and take action in alignment with your values.
