Thank you so much, Jared, for your constant kindness, wisdom & encouragement. I feel much better things can be possible when I listen to you <3. Wishing you a restful, peaceful Xmas.
Really wonderful conversation Jared. I've been thinking about my father this Christmas and his experience 80 years ago fighting Germans in the bitter cold Battle of the Bulge. How did he survive that, not only physically, but mentally. He had a sense of hope in tough times and a "never give up" attitude. I'm currently reading a book called "The Resilience Myth: New thinking on grit, strength, and growth after trauma." The author, Soraya Chemaly, talks about the importance of interconnectedness and the reintegration with others. I highly recommend it. Merry Christmas and a hopeful New Year.
I'm listening to your talk, Jared, a little late. I thought that, after we lost the election, everything was 'over,' but I've been surprised to find myself understanding that the battle is just now beginning in earnest.
I'm encouraged to see your continued emphasis on personal grounding. I'm also anxious for the larger movement to coalesce and take off, but I know it will not happen on my timetable ;-)
Like Deborah, and your references to Sartre, I find hope (and patience) in writings on and from the WW2 era -- the stories can be horrific, but knowing the outcome gives me hope for our battles.
Thank you so much for this. First, I want to say that I am sorry for the pain you encountered in your childhood. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I’ve been wondering, with every protest I learn about and don’t feel safe attending with my 2 and 4 year old boys, what I can do with my time that might be helpful. I’m doing other things, but those afternoons when people are gathering together and finding community, can leave me feeling alone.
Next time, I’ll do a load of laundry. I’ll get an oil change. I’ll play a game with my kids, or take a nap. Thank you for giving me these ideas, and saying that they are enough.
I connected with hope last week, and I wrote about it on my Substack. It’s been a reminder of how I don’t write because of the comments (there were none). I write to share my truth, in the hopes that it might help someone connect with theirs.
That is a wonderful podcast.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this Jared.

You’re conveying a great view! Love it! 💪
Jared thank you my friend. You continue to inspire me in these troubling times.

See you on the barricades (my mantra ;-)
So kind, so introspective, so loving. So needed. Thank you!
