The world is on fire. How can we continue to live our lives while so many lives are being lost every day? How does our passion, our calling in life matter during times like these? How do the things that light us up help fight for a free Palestine?

What about our relationships? The ones where the people we love have been silent. Not those actively advocating for the elimination of an entire people, but rather those who have not spoken out. Why have they not said anything? Do we cut them off entirely? Or can nuance be applied? The answer: it depends.

In this week's episode, I explore some possibilities for these questions. Tune in to find out more!
