So What's Even Happening?

Filming Our First Podcast… On That Day | Ep. 9 Navigating Heavy Emotions & Staying Present

Xiomara and Cortney Episode 9

The day we filmed our very first podcast episode also happened to be the same day Donald Trump was re-elected as President. Talk about a rollercoaster of emotions.

In this episode, we reflect on what it felt like to wake up that morning, knowing the weight of the day ahead. We made a conscious choice to tread lightly, protect our peace, and prioritize our emotions before letting the media flood our minds. It wasn’t about avoidance—it was about giving ourselves the space to feel our feelings before the heaviness of the world took over.

We talk about how we managed to stay present, get through the day, and complete what we set out to do—filming our very first podcast. Because no matter what’s happening in the world, we still deserve to create, to feel, and to move forward.

Let us know: How do you take care of your emotions on heavy news days?
