In this episode, we discuss the power of advocacy, while emphasizing the importance of picking your battles. We are a fragile people, and fighting tooth and nail to get every person on our side of history for every single issue is only wasting our own time and energy. We can only do so much. In the midst of the chaos of this world and the energy-sucking work of disagreeing… disagreeing… disagreeing, we talk about the importance of leaning on your people. Finding good people that see us and love us as we are. They fight for us. They fight with us. This makes all of this a lot easier, and it restores some of the energy that was sucked out from all of that fighting.
