The Antidote to Fascism is Mindfulness: The Check-In with Danielle Moodie and Jared Yates Sexton

In this episode of The Check-In, Danielle Moodie and I discuss the kind of self-work and self-introspection that this moment requires of us. There’s a need to find the things that nurture and replenish us as we withstand the onslaught of authoritarianism, but we also have to learn to sit in discomfort so that we can decide what we want our lives and the world to be. MAGA’s rise to power has been predicated on the very distinctively American promise that a person never has to be uncomfortable or consider themselves and their lives and privilege.

Again, thank you so much for your support for this project. It has become one of my favorite things and all of the kindness viewers and listeners have shown is just…so welcome. Please, keep sharing how your conversations out in the world are going. We all need to be doing this work and, through it, we will not only live better lives, but ultimately defeat this abominable authoritarian threat.
