Welcome to the first hour-long episode of Making Sense and Nonsense!

EPISODE DESCRIPTION: In this episode, we make sense of:~Our immediate bodily and emotional responses to the US election news of Nov. 5, 2024, and compare them to our experiences of the 2016 election. We grapple with despair and disgust only (spoiler alert) to conclude that It’s All Going To Be Great! ~Although the guiding topic of this episode was serious, silliness and nonsense were had by all. Talking made us feel better. We hope listening is as helpful and/or relieving for you!

ABOUT MAKING SENSE & NONSENSE:~No Commercials Now or Ever!~Release schedule: 2-4 Fridays per month, as Heidi’s health allows it. (Including Cozy Content Coming Soon!)
