In this heartfelt episode of "Good Girl Gone Goddess," we delve into the weighty topics of recent disasters and the profound impact they have on our collective psyche. As someone who has journeyed through my own trials after disaster, I share my thoughts and reflections on the angst of navigating a world filled with sadness and disconnection and what helped me to restore my aliveness.

In a personal shift, I have chosen to say less on social media to create space for deeper listening and to offer more heart in my conversations here. Join me as I explore the concept of pleasure and how they can serve as gateways to healing. I discuss pleasure as a powerful form of resistance and a pathway to justice, reminding us of the importance of finding joy even in dark times.

In a moment of connection, I offer a prayer that invites us all to seek quiet moments in our lives, to learn to cultivate personal wisdom—moments that help us link arms with the Divine and reclaim a sense of peace amidst chaos.

• Personal reflections on recent disasters
• The feeling of disconnection in today's world
