About this episode
If you've been following the news lately — including with 1A — it can be a lot to take in.
We've heard from many of you about how the news makes you feel. But what can we do in chaotic moments of history to build a sense of control in our lives? Maybe it's organizing in your community, starting a new hobby, or picking up that TV show from 10 years ago that you promised you'd get around to watching.
We talk about what finding agency in the chaos can look like, and why we should actively focus on something rather than simply react to what's happening.
