In this episode, I sit down the morning after the election, exhausted but compelled to share my raw thoughts with you. As the dust settles, I'm caught between disbelief and a strange, aching hope, a hope that I nearly lost this week as I rushed my dog, aptly named Hope, to a life-saving surgery. Her fight to survive feels like a mirror to this moment in America: painful, uncertain, yet oddly resilient. This isn’t just about politics; it’s about who we are, what we believe in, and how we pick ourselves up. Join me as I grapple with the tension and try to find a way forward.
