We're All in a Complacency Crisis

Season 1 Episode 23

We brace for disaster when it’s loud. But we rarely notice it when it builds slowly, quietly, over time.

This episode explores complacency—what happens to us, and to our society, when we stop paying attention. It weakens democracy. It hollows out relationships. It convinces us to settle for less than we need or deserve.

Today, I’m talking about why complacency happens, how it spreads, and what it costs us when we’re too tired—or too afraid—to confront it.

If you’ve been coasting, this is your urgent invitation to reengage. Let’s talk. Let’s look honestly at where we are. And let’s work together to demand something better.
