Closing out season 3, the BBP ends on an explicit note.

The best way to move from a state of numbness or avoidance is to do something. Anything. And Laine walks us through some prime examples as we head into an important election season.

Fair warning: Laine's passion in this one is so strong, you may want to mind your audio levels. ;)

Join us for a final quick dive into making social change possible, and check out our full episode on Social Change if you haven't!

For anyone new here, Laine & I will be taking a short winter hiatus to plan for season 4, so you'll hear from us again in January.

Until then, enjoy!
