In this solo episode, I allow myself to feel angry...with no shame. I discuss what's going on in Gaza, Rafah, and other parts of the world. I share my thoughts on what it means to validate our own emotions, even when others can't hold space for us...on letting oneself feel angry, when you've been taught to suppress your emotions and "just be fine." I'm letting myself feel and I hope I can hold space for you to do the same.
