As the government shutdown stretches on and uncertainty fills the air, it’s easy to feel frustrated, fearful, or simply numb. But what if this moment — this pause in the system — is actually an invitation?

In this week’s episode of Getting Through the Week, Dr. KellyRae explores what happens when “the system” fails — and how we can return to what’s never been broken: our humanity.

You’ll hear powerful reflections on:

✨ The emotional toll of living in prolonged uncertainty

✨ How scarcity triggers our shadow and survival responses

✨ The reminder that we were never meant to do life alone

✨ Simple, grounded ways to help (and be helped) right now

✨ Why gratitude has nothing to do with the table — and everything to do with the people at it

If this season has felt heavy or disconnected, this episode is a gentle invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember the quiet power of showing up for one another.

Because while the system might shut down… love doesn’t.💛
