Managing Uncertainty During The Ukraine-Russia Crisis with Julie Nguyen & Krati Mehra

In this episode, Julie and I discuss the ongoing Ukraine-Russia crisis and how best to cope with the resulting uncertainty and the stress and anxiety caused by it.

As we deal with the new normal and all the other (ongoing) traumatic events, we must continue to invest in our dreams and ambitions so in our conversation, we talk about how we can let go of the heaviness and the sadness that seems to almost surround us, cleanse our energy, and some more practical tips that can help us stay healthy and happy(ier) during this difficult period. 

We discuss- 

How have we been handling the Ukraine-Russia conflict?
What is our relationship to the news?
Trauma and the intergenerational impacts on a community
Talking to children about the ongoing crisis and using it as an opportunity to raise more empathetic humans
How can people manage their anxiety about the war on top of everything else happening in their life?
The guilt we feel for enjoying our lives while someone else is in distress and also learning to deal with the helplessness we feel in such situations
Is meditation effective during such high stress periods? Other options we can explore to enjoy the benefits of mindfulness
How we can support others through such periods
