We’re 30+ days into a government shutdown, SNAP benefits are disappearing, layoffs are ongoing, and a catastrophic storm just hit Jamaica. But beyond the headlines, people are privately struggling with job loss, evictions, food insecurity, and the mental toll of trying to “stay positive” when everything feels urgent.
In this week’s episode, we talk about how to be resourceful in the real, messy, ”make-it-through-the-week” kind of way. Whether you're giving help or in need of it, this episode will shift how you think about support, community, and what's really essential.
