Leadership, Control, and Being Out of Your Mind
How do you calm the heck down and get back into your calm-thinking, reasonable brain?
Where’s your head at?
Have you lost your mind?
You’re acting like a crazy person!
Have you been feeling a bit out of your mind or like you’re losing your mind these last couple of months?

You know what I’m talking about: the current polarization of politics happening world-wide; the stupid and insane tariffs trade-war; the frightening resurgence of anti-LGBTQ+ laws and hate; and the genocide in Palestine. Did I miss anything?
Every time we read the news, something crazy, unbelievable, horrific, or tragic is happening. Both social media algorithms and news publishers want your focused addiction on bad news for multiple reasons, all of which serve their bottom line and the amount of control and power they possess.
Understand that I am not diminishing any of the significant challenges that are happening in the world right now.
