Fragments & Wholeness

EP #342 - Fragments & Wholeness - A Solo Show with your host,
Susan Burrell

In this Empowering Chat, I share a few thoughts about the fragmented world we are currently living in right now. So many people are feeling scattered, broken, or just plain exhausted—by what’s happening nationally, globally, and even personally. I have been asking myself, “Who am I now?” My hope is to find resolution so that I can somehow rise above all these fragments and find a way to breathe a little more freely.

Perhaps you have been feeling it too—that sense of being shattered. And with that comes grief, astonishment, and a whole mix of emotions that can be tough to navigate. Maybe you too have caught yourself wondering, “Who am I now?” or even, “Am I supposed to be doing something different?”

Lately, I’ve noticed fragments of anger and even hatred surfacing in myself and around me. It’s not a comfortable place to be. I’ve been trying to find some common ground, but the polarity out there—the way families and friends are being pulled apart—can feel so heavy. Sometimes it feels like those broken pieces might never get put back together.

That’s why awareness of self—really listening within—feels more important than ever. I think so many of us are sinking into the quicksand of emotional despair and trying to find a way to rise above it. I truly believe that something as simple as intentional breathing can help. When we stop, breathe and create just a little space, we can start to look at the fragments inside us—and in that stillness we may start to recognize the fragments within that need care, compassion, and healing.
