A Reality Check on Fear, Power & What Actually Matters

For those freaking out right now, I've got you!

I know a lot of people are feeling overwhelmed right now. The world feels chaotic, the news cycle is relentless, and the future seems uncertain. I get it. But here’s the thing – fear is a tactic. And if we don’t see it for what it is, we end up playing right into it.

This talk isn’t about dismissing the very real challenges we’re facing. It’s about seeing clearly, understanding what’s actually happening, and choosing how we respond. Not from a place of panic, but from awareness and intention. The media flood is designed to make us feel powerless, but we are not powerless. The systems we live under are being tested, yes – but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It reveals what’s solid and what was never as strong as we thought.

And in times like this, we need each other. We are not meant to process all of this alone. Just like lighthouses don’t exist in isolation – each one plays a part in guiding, warning, and illuminating the way for others – we also regulate and steady one another. That’s how we move through this, not by spiralling into fear, but by connecting, grounding, and choosing what we give our energy to.

So if you’re freaking out, come sit with me for a bit. Let’s talk about what actually matters. I’ve got you.
