Episode description

Things are chaotic (by design) so after we start to rebuild internal trust + social trust, we can start to address our own needs, and eventually our community's. Develop boundaries, coping skills, resilience strategies. Grieve, learn to accept reality + then address what is within your control. From there, you can pick a lane.


When we try to do too much, we get overwhelmed and don't accomplish half the stuff we could accomplish if we had just picked ONE thing to work on at a time.


HOW TO RESIST THE COUP?


  1. Build Internal Trust
  2. Build Social Trust
  3. Grieve, Accept, Build Resilience
  4. Identify your locus of control
  5. Pick a lane
