Season 3/Episode 1: Finding Hope in All the Right Places in 2025

Being a positive person by nature can be tough when it seems like there are fires burning, everywhere one looks... but it can be done and it HAS to be done, and I'm sharing some ways I am attempting to do that, right now.

No matter what stage of life you are in, there are things you can do to find joy, and also resist when you know things are not right.  We teach our kids to say something and stand up for others,  and I feel we must practice what we preach, especially during this historical time.

One thing that has been helpful are finding smart and experienced people who fact-check and have worked in law/politics AKA know way more than me, to help me find these outlets.

Here are a few- feel free to check them out and support them if you value what they share:

@emilyinyourphone - has worked as a lawyer and involved in politics in the past- also has a great substack and BOOK- Democracy in Retrograde -- 

@sharonsayso- also has a great book- The Small and Mighty, calls herself America's Government Teacher- always sharing the facts and schooling us all

@annie_wu22 - Has actively worked on various campaigns and always in the know

@motherhoodforgood- Kate Duffy- sharing news, culture and advocacy made easy

Many more, but those are a great start if you are curious!

Please feel free to message me @We_arrow_on_podcast with other ideas or comments any time! Thanks for the listen, and feel free to share with someone who may enjoy!
