Nat and Kristen are battling sinus colds AND the state of the world – turns out both are equally congestion-inducing. From their city’s dodgy sewage situation to a looming fuel crisis, a lonely Gen Z kid, and powerful men making questionable decisions, they unpack why we’ve all gone a bit numb to the chaos.
They cover the spectrum of crisis responses (are you a checker, an avoider, an evangelist, or just fully paralysed?), why your amygdala was simply not built for the 24/7 news cycle, and how to take back some control without either doom-scrolling yourself into a spiral or burying your head completely in the sand. Hopeful-ish. Practical. Sniffly.
