Staying human in dehumanizing times

On guilt, grief as a sign of humanity, and the simple grounding power of everyday kindness.

In this episode of Before You Freak Out, Jer and Mo sit with the discomfort of living “normal” lives in deeply abnormal times. They talk about feeling overwhelmed and guilty about going to work and buying groceries while war and atrocities take place in the world. And they commune over the fear of becoming desensitized by the seemingly endless negative news cycle.
