The Cost of Paying Attention
I believe this article on Substack might resonate with many of the women in this community. It's about something I've struggled to put into words for a long time: the invisible weight of trying to live according to your values in a world that rewards convenience. It's about spending hours researching alternatives. It's about questioning purchases that other people never think twice about. It's about the grief that comes from watching people acknowledge harm and then explain why they don't have to do anything differently. And it's about something I've come to call moral loneliness. Have you ever felt like you're carrying questions that many people around you seem to have set down? After you've had a chance to read it, come back and share your thoughts. I'm especially interested in hearing whether you've experienced this in your own life and how you navigate it. https://open.substack.com/pub/darlenechangemakerhq/p/the-cost-of-paying-attention?r=5pn6i2&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

I have a distinct childhood memory of learning boycotting from my mother. My mom sat my brothers and I down to explain why we were no longer going to have Nestle Quik chocolate milk powder in our home - a favourite. She is shared with us the facts of the Nestle Baby Milk scandal of the 70’s. She taught us that by choosing solidarity and the power of our purchasing dollar we could be part of impacting change and holding a BIG corporation to account. She invited us to choose “right”, to deny ourselves a small pleasure in order to stand with families on the other side of the world whose children never got to grow up.
