What if staying human is a form of resistance?
This short audio discussion explores the ideas behind “Befriend Yourself: A Strategy for Staying Whole While They Dismantle Everything That Matters,” the post that resonated with thousands. It’s a conversation about moral injury, emotional survival, and why treating yourself with care might be one of the most strategic moves you can make right now.
What you’re about to hear is an AI-generated conversation between two virtual voices, reflecting on a recent post I published. It’s part of an experiment I’m trying—offering a way to absorb this work through dialogue, not just text.
The conversation pulls directly from my writing, but it’s designed to help you engage with the ideas differently—slower, more reflectively, maybe more personally.
I’m sharing this as a way to make the strategy and the emotion more accessible. I’d love to know if it’s useful.
