Overwhelm shuts us down
And there was so much going on politically in 2016, that summer, that I was feeling it. Trump was running, like, oh my God. Hillary was running, she was going to win. Oops. You know, there was a lot going on. Black men were being killed more times than I can count. And my daughter was coming home from camp, and I was just feeling like I needed something to clean my palate every day. And I already had a daily yoga practice. I'm a yoga teacher, I was doing that. And it still wasn't, it wasn't enabling me to pick her up and look at her and feel like tomorrow is full of promise. I was like, no, tomorrow is going to be full of more misogyny, more racism, more hatred. How do I parent this, right?
