facing what's real: i will no longer be silently complicit

<p>I am heartbroken.</p><p>The country I was sold is a farce. The Epstein files are showing us just how deep the corruption goes. I&#39;m disgusted—not surprised, but disgusted.</p><p>As an SA survivor, this moment is incredibly triggering. Even the commentary on the files brings a surge of helplessness to my system. As an empath, I feel the pain of the victims. As someone who has survived my own trauma, it all comes flooding back as though it&#39;s happening in real time.</p><p>Watching American citizens executed in the streets. Young children used as bait to capture their immigrant parents. Families torn apart.</p><p>It&#39;s too much for my system. And I know that&#39;s exactly what they want.</p><p>This is their strategy—flooding the zone to overwhelm us so we can&#39;t keep up, so it becomes normalized. I refuse to let any of this become normal. I refuse to stay silent and complicit.</p><p>In this episode, I share where I&#39;m at: stuck in freeze, overwhelmed with grief, struggling to understand how anyone can look at another human being and feel superior to them. And I share what I&#39;m learning about protecting ourselves so that we can show up—because we need to show up. We need to gather in community, hold each other, and find our light together.</p><p>If we isolate. If we hide. If we shut down—they win.</p><p>I&#39;m inviting you to gather with me on Sunday in my women&#39;s circle, <a href="https://momence.com/l/K1hdj5ly" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Sacred Space Annapolis</a>.
