Episode 47: How do You Handle a Crisis?

Hi folks,

If you listened to episode 46, you already know that we did a little bit of a dive into the subject of grounding. How do we stay grounded? How do we know when we need grounding? What do we mean when we say "grounded" anyway? 

That whole conversation happened on January 5th, 2020. At the time of that recording, little did we know, or anticipate, the shocking developments of January 6th that were about to transpire in our nation's capital! So here we are, a week on from that, and we find that we're in need of a different conversation. Being grounded in the day-to-day is one thing, but... how do we handle crises? We ask that question because, for many, that's what the events of January 6th represented - a  crisis. A crisis that threatened (and perhaps continues to threaten) not only our own sense of safety and security, but a crisis for democracy itself.

In this episode, we talk through some of our reflections on how we've... not handled... not managed... maybe withstood crises in our lives, and what navigating those events has looked like for us. It's one thing to think back on how we handled ourselves during a crisis event, and what we notice that we needed at the time to get through with our best selves intact. However, it’s another thing altogether to find ourselves called to be our best selves, with compassion for ourselves and others, during the events themselves. These are our thoughts on this subject so far, and we'd love to hear yours! After all, we're all just out here trying to do our best.

Thank you so much for listening!
