Episode notes

Happy Halloween, y’all! Is there anything scarier than an election season where so much is at stake and the divisiveness is the worst it’s ever been? Yikes! In this episode, we’re sharing how anxiety has been showing up for us, how we’re taking steps to curb that anxiety, and what we’re going to do after the election… regardless of the outcome.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

  • When life feels out of control, go back to the basics. Are you sleeping enough? Are you drinking enough water? Have you spent some screen-free time outside in the sunshine? Go back to these and you’ll feel at least a little bit better.

  • When you’re right in the middle of anxious feelings, and you want to get out of overthinking mode, get up and move. It could be getting a workout in, but even something like folding laundry or tidying up an area in your home will take you out of your head and into your body.

  • Lean on your immediate community. No matter how the election goes, know who your people are and who is in your corner at the end of the day. If the election doesn’t go the way you want it to, you still need to continue loving your neighbors and being there for your friends.
