Help With Despair Over the State of the World

Nearly everyone I talk to feels <a href="https://medium.com/tag/mindfulness" rel="noopener">despair over the state of the world</a> right now. If you’re a person who cares, you likely feel pervasive anxiety about the many, many, many important problems you can’t control or entirely solve. That leads to an understandable sense of overwhelm, existential dread, resignation, cynicism, and even nihilism. I think about the millennial saying “can’t even” — and I get it. But I also don’t want to identify with it. I want to be someone who can even. So I decided to start <a href="https://www.racheljkrantz.com/help-existing-podcast" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">a podcast called Help Existing</a> for accountability and help with just that. Each week, I’ll interview wise and helpful people who can offer me — and anyone who listens — various pieces of advice on different, specific aspects of existence. And then I will translate those interviews into regular<a href="https://medium.com/@rachelkrantz" rel="noopener"> service pieces like this one</a>, on Medium. <a href="https://medium.com/@rachelkrantz/help-with-despair-over-the-state-of-the-world-6f1311cd03f4">Website</a>
