Thinking Globally, Acting Locally: Episode 489

The world feels pretty heavy right now, and doom-scrolling doesn’t help. Today Meagan and Sarah talk about the tricky balance between staying informed as global citizens and not letting it all overwhelm us.

Plus, we’ve got some practical ideas on how you can make a real difference in your community. Join us!
