What happens when people come together online because they’re all feeling the same thing—scared, overwhelmed, and wondering if they’re doing enough?
In this raw, unscripted live conversation, Paul Shattuck opens up about the shame many of us carry for struggling in this political moment, why introversion might be a superpower for resistance, and how being kind to yourself is actually an act of defiance.
This isn’t your typical political cast. Paul starts with a guided moment of connection, shares his personal “grace affirmation” from recovery, and explores why one of the most viral posts he’s ever written was about introverts who feel left out of traditional activism.
If you’ve ever refreshed the news obsessively then felt guilty for “checking out,” if you care deeply but feel like resistance advice is written for someone louder than you, or if you’ve been judging yourself for not handling this moment “better”—this conversation is for you.
What you’ll hear:
• Why “of course you feel overwhelmed” might be the most radical thing you can tell yourself
• The one line that transforms self-criticism into self-compassion
• Why Hannah Gadsby’s comedy routine sparked a movement insight
• How befriending yourself becomes an act of resistance
Warning: Contains honest talk about fear, some swearing, and permission to be human in inhuman times.
Originally recorded live with dozens of viewers who needed to remember they’re not alone.
Remember: Stay human. Stay strategic. Shape tomorrow.
