Plugging Into the New Grid
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Wisdom Work podcast, Christy and Christa go deeper into their recent conversation of “being the light” during heavy, divisive times… especially when information is amplified by social media and news. They challenge listeners to regularly turn inward and ask how they can cultivate inner light while navigating difficult situations, relationships, and conversations. Christy shares a visual metaphor of unplugging from an old, corroded “electrical grid” of outdated patterns and plugging into a new, clean light grid that feels scary and lonely at first, but is full of possibility.
They discuss nervous system regulation, processing emotions rather than bypassing, and building the muscle of moving through heaviness faster. They suggest practices like nature walks, journaling, and intentional self-renewal.
The episode emphasizes faith versus control, releasing a tight grip, setting protective boundaries, and seeing discomfort and pain as signs of growth and opening.
