Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Rowing with the Homies, I'm diving into a topic that feels overwhelming and personal: the collapse of social norms and the feeling of anger with nowhere to go. I'm exploring what happens when the unwritten rules of our world, from political conduct to online behavior, are disregarded. We'll look at the historical context of these breakdowns, from ancient Rome to modern protest movements, and explore how to maintain hope and integrity when the fight feels overwhelming. I'll share how this sense of a broken system manifests in my own life as a kind of helpless rage, a feeling that can be a core part of depression. Join me as I grapple with these questions and look for ways we can all contribute to rebuilding a shared reality.
