In this episode, I open up about something that’s been weighing on many of us — especially if you’re Iranian or connected to that part of the world. Over the past 12 days, tensions have escalated, the news has been overwhelming, and for so many, the uncertainty is exhausting.

But this episode isn’t about politics. It’s about people — about how moments like these affect us emotionally, mentally, even spiritually.

We’ll explore how to express what we’re feeling in English, useful words and phrases for difficult times, and simple ways to stay grounded — no matter where you are.

If you’ve been feeling anxious, stuck in doomscrolling, or unsure how to keep going — this one’s for you.
