1345: Why Bother In A Broken World?

This week, in two vastly different conversations, the same question came up: Why bother?

Whether it’s the weight of repeated failure or the heartbreak of a world that feels broken, it’s easy to wonder what the point is. In today’s episode, I’m sharing two real-life moments — one rooted in personal frustration, and another in the aftermath of a community tragedy — that both led to this question… and the truth I believe we need to hold onto:

Your health matters.

Not for the number on the scale. Not for appearances. But because healthy people create healthy communities.

We need physically, mentally, and spiritually well individuals now more than ever — in homes, schools, workplaces, and online spaces. If you’re feeling powerless to change what’s happening around you, this episode is for you. You have a part to play — and your health equips you to play it well.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Two different versions of “why bother?” — and how to respond

• Why your health isn’t just about you

• The ripple effect of well-being in families and communities

• How emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness changes the way we show up

• A real-life example of handling conflict with grounded grace

• Practical ways to improve your health that go beyond food and fitness

“You don’t have to go viral to be a leader. You don’t need a platform to have influence. The way you live is the platform.”
