Hey there,
I’ve been a bit more quiet than usual here, so I thought I’d post a short update. It’s hard for me to just focus on the podcast in times like these. I’ve been quite upset and worried by the news coming from the US lately.
When Trump got elected, I swore to myself this podcast would be a ‘Trump free’ zone. Reality is grim enough, we all need to escape for a bit at times, I thought. I hoped the podcast could help people escape for a while and just…smile.
But things are even worse than I thought they would be. Sure, Â I always expected what’s happening now, but I never imagined it would go so fast and so…I don’t even have the words. Â It’s like one second the sky ‘s a bit grey, and the next it ‘s pitch black.
I know many of you must feel lost, angry, worried, … too. And I don’t want to add to your worries. But I can’t keep pretending it’s all good. The podcast will stay like it is now: Trump free.  He doesn’t exist in Emily and Lea’s world. Even I like to escape into that world every week, I  admit 😉
But I did become a bit more outspoken on Twitter, and now here. I guess I’m telling you all of this because I’m not sure how you feel about it. How are you coping with all of this? How can I help? How can the podcast help? What’s meaningful to you? What’s not helpful at all?
I’d really like to know, so if you feel like sharing, all feedback and thoughts are very welcome in the  comments.
Take care and #resist,
Sigrid
PS: Oh! The podcast!  I’ve written part 32 and am planning to record it tomorrow morning. I’ve been a bit sick and I hope my voice will be good enough in the morning. But I might sound a  bit more…Well, my wife calls it ‘nasal’ 😉
