How do we stay conscious, compassionate, and psychologically steady when confronted with large, unsettling public stories?

...really sitting with the unknown is so uncomfortable.

In this episode, I reflect on the tension many of us feel between staying informed and becoming overwhelmed — between engagement and mental saturation. Using the ongoing conversation around the Epstein files as a starting point, I explore why uncertainty is so destabilizing, why speculation is so seductive, and why truth, historically, rarely emerges quickly or cleanly.

I also share thoughts on the role of courageous journalism, the patience required for real understanding, and the importance of protecting our own nervous systems in an age of nonstop information.

How Presence Defuses Emotional Bombs...

You can't let go of something that you're not letting be.

If you've ever struggled to "just let go," this one is for you.

One ordinary morning, a knock at the door and a sudden scream changed everything.

In this episode, I share a moment with my daughter that revealed something subtle and powerful about emotional escalation - and why "just letting go" so often doesn't work.

This is a reflection on presence, energy, and what becomes possible when we stop resisting what's here long enough to let it be.

In this episode: Karma as cause and effect, not judgment or blame

What if the difficulties we resist most are actually doing important work on us?

In this opening episode of Season Two, Debra explores challenge as a teacher—not as punishment, not as something we “deserve,” but as part of a larger unfolding that often only makes sense when we zoom out in time.

Drawing on ideas of karma, ancestral patterns, humility, and lifelong learning, this spoken-prose reflection looks at how distressing events—personal and collective—can be understood through a wider lens of cause and effect.

This episode invites listeners to soften resistance, observe their reactions, and meet life’s challenges with curiosity rather than anger or despair.
