39. Is it ok to celebrate special moments while the world is on fire?
With all that’s been going on, challenges, hardships, oppression, attacks on marginalized communities here in the US and abroad, it is not easy to be in the world right now.
Last Sunday, on October 8th, I celebrated my 4th business anniversary. And if you know anything about me, or if there’s one thing you SHOULD know about me, it’s that I freaking love celebrations. Milestones are so important to me. But honestly, it felt weird to celebrate.
The question that was rolling around in my mind since then is some of the shit we need to talk about today: Is it ok to access happy moments, to celebrate even, when the world is on fire? Or in the wake of a specific atrocity that is happening?
My answer is unequivocally: YES.
In this episode, I discuss:
Why we need to experience happiness and joy amidst hardship and pain.
Assumptions and community agreements I’ve been centering and leaning on as I navigate the world as it is right now.
4 lessons I am celebrating with my 4 year business anniversary (which go beyond business and apply to my life in all other areas).
Jump in for all the goodness!
