Holding Space for the Grief and Shock
I am so deeply shocked by the report from CNN. For me, safety is becoming a form of wealth. The deep shock and pain from seeing how dangerous men have become. Scott Galloway talks about the lonliness of men, without accounting for the danger. Some stories do not feel like news. They feel more like a wound reopening. Seeing the CNN story on the rape academy and the Epstein files coverage left me deeply upset. I feel sad, shocked, and honestly shaken in a way that is hard to explain. It stirred something in me that feels a lot like trauma in the body. Grief. Anger. Disbelief. The kind of pain that sits heavy in your chest and reminds you how often power protects itself while women and children are left carrying the weight of what was done, ignored, or buried. I do not have an inspiring lesson or message in this moment. I just want to tell the truth. My heart is heavy today with looking at the ugly, dark, truth. If you can't trust your husband... who is supposed to love you... then what? If this story hit something deep in you too, you are not weak, and you are not overreacting. Some truths hurt because they confirm what women have known for a very long time. Tonight, I am holding space for every woman who feels shaken, heartbroken, or exhausted by it all. I want to say... I believe you. If you feel like sharing... put something in the comments
