Today's episode of Rise was recorded in early August 2024, in the midst of the far right riots in the UK so we are chatting about how we self-support when the world feels overwhelming - is it possible to thrive at all in the modern world and, if so, how do we strike the balance between self-protection and keeping our hearts open and compassionate towards the suffering of others?
